Revelations in Convent
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 19/01/2018
» Soi Convent has a strange pull. Crawling with office workers by day, it welcomes drinkers and diners by night. At one end is a cloistered convent protected by high walls, at the other a hospital and a church, and in between a motley selection of an Irish pub, street stalls, cafés, bars, dessert shops, dining venues, a som tam joint and an all-girls school. Flanked by the gaudy lights of Patpong and the business-minded Sathorn, the 800m soi in the busy financial district has a discreet but unfailing, perennial charm.

Narrative of Monuments
Life, Published on 17/01/2018
» Kata Sangkhae's conceptual photographs of the Democracy Monument may inspire hope or despair according to the viewer's interpretation. Against the night sky, at times blurry and then in sharp focus but without detail definition, his non-naturalistic images of blinding light on the golden replica of the constitution convey tall white shapes evocative of disembodied spirits.

A writer of versatility and promise
Muse, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 13/01/2018
» When Jidanun Lueangpiansamut sat down in front of me, we had a purple book rested between us on a glass table. On its cover, a green silhouette of a timid lion stood out from a roaring crowd -- quite an appropriate design considering its title: Singto Nok Kok. The lion doesn't fit in or conform with the rest of the pack.

Where there's smoke...
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/01/2016
» If you need proof as to why Bangkok is just as deserving of the "foodie capital" title as Hong Kong and Singapore, pay Il Fumo at visit. Powerhouse trio Choti Leenutaphong, Debby Tang and chef Luca Appino, responsible for Bottega's nostalgic comfort and exceeding our cocktail expectations at Vesper, are now making us swoon over charcoal-grilled and dry-aged beef. The restaurant has chosen to keep the original facade of a beautiful house dating back to the 1950s, in which descendants of King Rama IV resided. The interior, however, is all about subdued colours, and minimalistic, contemporary decor. Fitting, we thought, with the rather purist approach to cuisine, which is heavily focused on ingredients and cutting-edge techniques. There is a separate bar area, dimly lit, well-stocked and decked out in dark wood, reminiscent of treasured locales the likes of Bar Hemingway at The Ritz Paris and Dry Martini Bar in Barcelona.

To markets, To (Indie) markets
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/09/2014
» You would think Bangkokians have their shopping needs fulfilled to the brim already, given the ever-growing number of malls out there. To the contrary, there are many more special marketplaces that are popping up around the capital to offer different vibes and goodies. This weekend alone there will be two niche markets – Million Bike Market for bicyclists and Pet Design Fair for dog and cat people. We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.
