The paradox of pity
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 21/05/2018
» Thais are notoriously hopeless when it comes to the songsarn factor. Translated to English, the word means to pity or feel sorry for -- a trait ingrained in Thais as much as to be sabai sabai and never on time.

A broad canvas
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 07/04/2018
» Not all of us will make our mark as Mona Lisa, but it is possible to be the centre star of an art piece. If you are a self-confessed shutterbug and lover of art, an interactive art exhibition is currently ongoing at Emporium right now under the name Museum of Me (MOME). Inside the pink pastel box, which has just popped up inside their department store, this museum's showcase will not be complete without its main exhibition: you. Get snapped upon entering MOME and get ready to see yourself turned into art works by 10 different artists. The summer museum visit all ends at the museum gift shop, which of course, sells mementos that star you.

Perfecting penmanship
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» Daniel Kohler is the name to have on your speed dial if you are a pen collector. Then again, if you are inclined towards the precious and pricey types of writing instruments, you probably already have Montblanc's head of client relations and high artistry on your contact list. But for those who are just starting out with collecting and happened to miss his visit to Bangkok last month, fret not, because we also didn't get to see the €1.5 million (57.8 million baht) pen we had hoped to see in real life at a private suite at the Okura Prestige either.

Swearing by Thailand
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 10/11/2014
» 'John, John, John, John, Jooooohn!" That's how Nelson Howe is greeted by Thai fans. They bombard him with his "father's name" in hopes that he'll joust back with a curse.

Exploring the last frontier
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 20/10/2014
» Uncle Nelson Howe sent 3 million viewers into hysterical laughing fits when a viral video of him swearing in Thai was posted on YouTube in March.

Cuties for the cute
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/10/2014
» Treat your little misses to adorable bags and accessories that will make them the envy of all the other girls. Local children's brand Sati has been around for four years now, making handmade hair clips, headbands, handbags and other cute paraphernalia that young ladies can fawn over. Every single product comes from meticulous handiwork, but don't worry if the children wear them to the water: they're sturdy and also have a usage guarantee. If anything breaks, all knick knacks can be sent in for repairs. Most importantly, Sati products are free from chemicals, lead and heavy metals, while also passing America's CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008) standard — a law that protects child consumers from goods. The nail polish that has been developed by the Science faculty at Silpakorn University for Sati is also non-toxic and free from chemicals such as formalin and toluene, which smells like paint thinner.

Stranger than fiction
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 22/07/2014
» Thais are attracted to drama like magpies are to anything and everything shiny. We have such a penchant for drama to the point that even extremely pressing work can wait another 30 minutes and causing a bit of traffic is suddenly acceptable — speeding off without seeing the faces of the people in the road accident? Never! Perhaps it’s the reason why sappy soap operas still have their days in this country and why web boards such as Pantip and Drama Addict can still reel in a gargantuan number of visitors.
