  Muse, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 02/05/2015

  » Sisters Wowdow and Raweeras Poocharoen and their friend Pornthip Patiluntakalkool look like they each belong to a different social scene. Wowdow, a 33-year-old softly-spoken interior designer, has a confident, mature personality, while her 26-year-old sister Raweeras is a young and hip artist type. Pornthip, 30, who has known the two for years, is a girly girl with an up-and-at-em character. Cool and composed, Wowdow was born and bred in America, while her artsy sister grew up in Chiang Mai. Pornthip, described by her two friends as a "go getter", was raised in Chantaburi province. Despite their diverse backgrounds, what the trio share is their passion for tie-dyed fabric, and the love for the brand they've built together.

  Heart to heart

  News, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 24/09/2014

  » Each year, 8,000 Thai babies are born with congenital heart disease. Half of them desperately need an operation in order to survive or lead a normal life, but many of them cannot afford the treatment. Even those who somehow manage to find enough money to foot the bills must go through a long wait since the facilities and specialised doctors have limited ability. While many are waiting for their turn to receive treatment, more babies are born with life-threatening conditions.
