A Stamp of approval
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 06/08/2014
» Apiwat Eurthavornsuk would never be described as traditionally handsome. But there's something endearing about the combination of his droopy eyes and upwardly curved lips, which give the impression of an etched-in smile, that complements his easy-going, good-tempered, everyman persona.
