  » We all have problems, but your super red arowana aquarium fish being too drowsy to entertain your house guests because it just returned from getting a facelift or being locked out of inheriting a 64 acre palatial estate in the heart of Singapore would surely only qualify as "rich people problems".

  » The major summer sporting season may be ending (tomorrow is the last day of the Paralympics in Rio), but as of late, Thais have never needed any excuse to sport running shoes and sports bras everywhere. Being the exhibitionists we are, people are doing all they can to exhibit their active lifestyle: parading through malls, cafés and even offices in fancy exercising gear. Optional: actually working out. The fitness crowd is increasingly dressing to the nines to exercise, making it much easier on the eyes to take those outfits outside the gym.

  » Thailand's advertising industry occupies both the highest and lowest grounds when it comes to pushing creativity. We're often regarded as the funniest peddlers in the world, and there's a long string of Cannes trophies and instantaneous LOL-reactions to prove it. But, at the opposite end of the spectrum, we also sometimes attract international media attention for the wrong reasons, such as the discriminating ads that continue to infiltrate the public sphere. Last week, beauty company Seoul Secret caused an uproar with its whitening pill tagline that brazenly voiced what other skin-whitening ads in Thailand have been subliminally implying for decades: "You just need to be white to win."

  » They say to buy real French haute couture starts at around a million — something that also applies to Lao haute couture as well. Here, however, it’s more like 1 million kip (4,000 baht) we’re talking about. And that, thankfully, is only about a month’s worth of lunches, as opposed to a lifetime of lunches, dinners, breakfasts and snacks — for the whole village. Much of the Lao fashion scene still operates within the confines of traditional culture and propriety, but nevertheless, it is an industry that recently got its official milestone beginning.

  » It has taken Roy Flynn, 36, and Nicole Denise Schreiter, 31,500 days to travel by car from Switzerland to Thailand. Leaving their old lives as a technical businessman and nurse in Switzerland behind without any doubts in March last year, thanks to a sense of wanderlust, the couple has travelled through 23 countries, four world religions, and many plateaus and climates after saving for the trip for seven years. Their route on land has led them to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, Mongolia, Western China, the Himalayas, India, and finally to Southeast Asia.
