We didn't start the fire
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/03/2017
» People, it's not even April yet, and the city feels as though it's been chosen as the launch site for the opening of the gates of hell. Stay cool and hydrated. Make this your daily mantra. This, we're serious about. But as you sip your sweet ice coffee under some air-conditioned refuge, we offer you a light-hearted recap of a few funny, exciting or random bits of news that are theoretical and totally scientific explanations of why this country is so ******* hot right now!
A Frame Has No Name
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 15/07/2016
» We're not unimpressed by the option of frames and shades spectacle labels have to offer this season. Oh no, not at all. Just the names of all their fabulous products are kind of a downer when getting round to ordering new glasses: "I'd like to get the RX4246V please" or "the SPR 56S". Geez, even typing that felt like accounting. Wouldn't it be added value to the consumer's experience to have more relevant and memorable product names to recite with enthusiasm at checkout? That's why we decided to rechristen some of our favourite designer eyewear from this season. You're welcome.

Graduation checklist
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 02/10/2015
» There's one part of higher education in Thailand we can confidently say is more impressive and challenging than that of any other country -- our graduation ceremonies. It's every Thai parent's dream to see their grown kids suffer through at least two full days -- dress rehearsal and the actual commencement -- of outdoor photo shoots while dressed in elaborate uniforms, plus the gown, props and an inhuman amount of make-up and hairspray. Did I mention that we're in a tropical country where it is pretty much the scorching summer year-round?!
Pass the popcorn
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 07/10/2016
» Do you ever just wonder what filmmakers or film critics watch to unwind? Or what was the movie that did wonders for them? Are they all going to be so esoteric, or do some of them love the same stupid films we do? We decided to find out by calling up a variety of local influencers in the industry -- some godly, others up-and-coming but interesting -- and inviting them to speak candidly about films. See which of the following film experts and rookies you could hypothetically have a movie date with, based on their answers to 10 questions.
12 nights of European films
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 24/06/2016
» It's that time of year again. The time of year to get lost in European romance, tragedy, history, comedy and perhaps a little bit of all. If you've got the conviction and resources to catch all 17 films across 12 days, by all means carpe diem. But if you're looking for a little guidance in choosing screenings, here are our top five picks of the festival.
Alphabet addicts

» Do you love having your name or initials on things, like a notebook, mug, pen or a pen-pineapple-apple-pen? (Sorry, I just had to.) Or do you just find typography to be one of the most satisfying forms of visual art, whether or not the words, phrases or characters mean anything to you? We've gathered four brands that were born to fulfill your logophile needs.
A gift of good health

One of the latest health trends we're seeing is a focus on independent, artisanal food and body care products over mass produced, which brings us to M2Box.
