A true renaissance man

» Passionate about the field of design and educated abroad extensively, Kompit Panasupon never thought he'd wind up back in Bangkok, much less become a key player in his father's serious business of academia. MAC Education, which started off as a tutoring school in the 70s, has become one of the biggest textbook publishers in the country and is understandably a big responsibility. We visited the busy 31-year-old (and his two cats) to talk about his work and views on education, but in the process, unlocked surprising facts that reveal that he never really quit being a man of the arts.
Peeps for peeps

» <b>The Setting</b>: Peeps, as in "where ma peeps at", is a humble Thai eatery on Phra Athit Road run by sisters Au and Eve Traitrongsat, who were inspired to open a restaurant of their own after a couple of years of kitchen experience in New York. Given its limited floor space, the restaurant impressively manages to have an open kitchen and six tables inside without cramping up the place. On the wall, simple stencil graffiti, board games and a collection of instax mini photos of customers bring forth a personality fitting to the restaurant's name, which clearly stresses camaraderie and modernity over Thainess and traditionalism.
