» I still remember the day Bodyslam walked into the Post's offices to promote their eponymous debut album in 2002. I was a rookie, and so were Artiwara Kongmalai, Tanadol Changsawek and Rattapol Phanchet. As I recall, they were awkward, gangly and didn't quite grasp the entire concept of a press tour. They were young men who had recently given up careers (in more respectable fields) to pursue their musical dreams. In retrospect, all the fidgeting and slight cockiness was well placed and self explanatory.

» For 30 years, luminary author Por Intarapalit uplifted the spirits of Thais with Samgler, the famous serialised comedy fiction. From 1938-68, the year Por died, he produced more than 1,000 episodes and instalments chronicling the mind-boggling adventures, incredible fantasies and ridiculous mishaps of three friends — the well-heeled and hedonistic Pol, Nikorn and Kim-nguan — along with their families and other captivating characters.

» Nakarin "Pang" Kingsak is an elder statesman of Thai rock. Not that he possesses an air of know-it-all pride or strokes his proverbial white beard while passing on pearls of wisdom. Nakarin instead has earned admiration through his long-term contributions to Thai music and his sombre, quiet personality as well as moderate lifestyle considerably at odds with the usual debauchery of rock 'n' roll. With his respectable reputation, his peers and younger artists are often in awe when they chance upon him backstage.
