High hopes
Muse, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 07/05/2016
» As a kid, rather than wanting to spend a day at Disneyland, Sutima Sucharitakul begged her parents to take her to museums -- a request they gladly granted. So it was places like the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert that they would visit when in London, the Palace of Versailles when in France, or churches and synagogues when in other European countries.

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 25/02/2016
» Tickets for Dracula: Blood Is Life, Ewing Entertainment Worldwide's debut stage play in Thailand, start at 1,200 baht and we simply may never agree on whether the show is worth the price.

» Yes, Madonna is singing live tonight. And yes, Madonna is definitely by now somewhere in Bangkok, after photos showing her arrive at the airport on Sunday night popped up online, enough for her "children" across Thailand to swoon. As you read this, just take a moment to get this fact registered in your head the Queen of Pop is actually here on the same soil as the rest of us, breathing this same polluted Bangkok air.
