  » When it is announced that a concert will be held at Bangkok's Scala cinema, it's usually a good one. The intimate setting, crisp sound system and unblocked views of the stage make it the perfect venue to show off an artist's raw talent.

From bombshell music videos, to poetry and artworks, one figure has seemed to catch the collective attention of those exasperated by the Kingdom's state of governance.

Inspired by Behind The Painting, a classic Thai novel written by Sri Burapha in the 1930s after the Siamese Revolution, the show at Bangkok CityCity thrives on an impish humour and a contemporary re-evaluation of the respected book and characters.

  Snapshots from a singular perspective

  Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 20/10/2017

  » Ever since he was a young prince accompanying his brother on royal duties until his final years residing in Siriraj Hospital, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej was almost never seen without a camera in his hands. It is a rich paradox: one of the most photographed persons in the Kingdom was also an avid photographer who took tens of thousands of pictures of other people during this 70-year-reign. For years, the public has mainly seen photographs of the king holding a camera, but today, we are finally able to get a glimpse of what the monarch saw through his very own eyes.
