Tale as old as time
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/03/2015
» It brings an emotional tear to eye when cartoons can capture the heart-wrenching trials of humanity, but when humans can come across convincingly as cartoons, the result is undeniable glee. Disney's Broadway spectacular, Beauty And The Beast, which is showing in Thailand for the very first time, brings the 1991 Oscar-winning classic of the same name to life.

Robbing from the rich, but giving to whom?
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/09/2014
» Life has meaning again, now that Downton Abbey has returned to our TV screens, its fifth season beginning last Sunday. Its otherworldly visuals continue to draw me in, with the upstairs goings-on of the aristocrats and the downstairs drama among the servants still as captivating as ever. I actually have to remind myself every time I watch an episode that people from another continent in this world of ours actually lived like this less than 100 years ago: that cooks had to dine separately from the rest of the servants in a stately home; that members of the upper class changed clothes as often as five times a day; that it was inconceivable that a proper lady or gentleman would have to perform actual work to earn a living.

Gentlemen, start your engines

» The city is packed with travelling exhibitions this month. A rather grand one watch buffs shouldn't miss is Rolex's Daytona exhibition, which will be at Central Embassy until Sunday. Rolex rarely hosts events and this is probably the only one they will host this year, so hop to it if you're a fan. Encased in what looks like a giant Rolex bracelet, the exhibition arrives in Bangkok for the very first time to display the watch that was born to race: the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona.

All the way around
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 18/03/2017
» It is hardly a surprise that despite being among the 10 most expensive marathons in the world, the Kyoto Marathon is the eighth-most-registered. Perhaps the picturesque mountains, free strawberries from spectators and smiling monks lend a hand. With 16,000 runners from around the world landing in this old capital and another 15,000 volunteers all along the 42km route, it's an event of a grand scale that sees the whole city on shutdown with people coming together to revitalise Kyoto through sport, especially since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. After its devastating impact, the annual running competition has been the city's global promotion strategy to present the wonders and green environment of Kyoto to the world -- all in a most organised and orderly manner.

The Missile Man
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/01/2017
» Pakorn Wongkittikraiwan looks extremely serene for someone who designs jewellery as tough as nails. Looking relaxed in an inconspicuous plain shirt and black trousers, the stoic 30-year-old isn't much of a splashy persona compared to his fashion industry counterparts. Yet, he is the walking soul of Missile, the home-grown, rock-inspired jewellery brand, which celebrates its 12th anniversary this year. At the launch of "Missile 12th Anniversary The Greatest Hits" exhibition earlier this month at Siam Center, Pakorn was introduced as the young blood designer of the brand, despite the fact that his history with Missile began seven years ago.

Rebecca Minkoff lands in Chidlom
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 10/12/2016
» Giving the Boho girls a decent but affordable handbag since 2009, Rebecca Minkoff is a New York import the college kids are sure to love. Recently arriving on our shores in the department store of Central Chidlom, this accessible luxury brand is your go-to for leather handbags and accessories that flaunt no brand name and conspicuous monograms. The fashion flock knows how to spot a Rebecca Minkoff bag a mile away though: it's all in the hardware. Look for the latch that is usually positioned in the centre of the bag -- clearly serving no practical purpose, but looks darn nice and edgy. The brand has also been presenting embellished straps for a couple of years now -- a trend other bag houses have only recently copied. This is the perfect solution if you can't quite part with your old bag but are equally bored with it: just spice it up with a new strap.

Style for daft punks
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/10/2016
» Once upon a time, being a web designer was considered an obscure and uncommon occupation that nobody really understood. Today, the same feeling may be applied to "fashion engineer". Fashion technology is the new field to place your bets on.
