    B Magazine, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 25/03/2018

    » Most of us still remember her from E.T. -- and that was 36 years ago, when she was seven and playing a girl who connects with the wrinkly extraterrestrial on a quest to go home. She also went on to play a sexy seducer in Poison Ivy (1992), one of Charlie's Angels (2000), a girl with a short-term memory in 50 First Dates (2004), and an accidental songwriter in Music and Lyrics ( 2007).

    Stone on Snowden

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/10/2016

    » Director Oliver Stone likes to tell stories of larger-than-life characters. Or not just characters, but real people caught up in the swirl of American history, which is sometimes to say world history: John F. Kennedy in JFK (1991); Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991); Richard Nixon in Nixon (1995); Fidel Castro in Commandante (2003); Alexander the Great in Alexander (2005); and George W Bush in W (2008). The fuzzy line between glory and shame of American policy is also his favourite subject, such as in the Vietnam War-set Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Born On The Fourth Of July (1989) and World Trade Center (2006).

Like the age old adage tells us, "where there is love, there is suffering"; and yet, love seems to be one of those things that is universally coveted by mankind, as if we expect this ethereal concept of expectations and desire to be the answer to all the world's woes. But what happens when love seems to be the source of those woes? Is it still worth it to hold on to love, even if we are slowly damning ourselves to a lifetime of suffering?

    Spreading their wings

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 13/11/2017

    » Surrounded on both sides by rivers and flat rice fields, a solitary strip of road off Bang-Khun Tien marked a very special occasion for one little green parrot, who would take his very first flight. Timidly stepping out of its cage, the little parrot -- a hunt macaw named Shogun -- hesitantly looked around for his owner. It found him, fluttering awkwardly up to perch on his waiting hand.

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 23/05/2017

    » The 2022 Asian Games, set to be held in Hangzhou, China, will be the first to feature professional competitive video gaming -- more colloquially known as "e-sports" -- as an official medal event. It's a huge boost to the industry's credibility, heralding a new age of mainstream acceptance for digital sporting as something akin, if not similar, to traditional sport.

    I'm working from boat today

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/09/2015

    » James Abbot left his office life in 2004 and hasn't looked back since. During his travels to other countries while working on his own projects, the Brit came across a co-working space called Hubud in Bali and was immediately touched by the energy and innovative passion that came from the like-minded travelling freelancers working within the shared space. Finding himself in Thailand later, the experience prompted Abbot to found KoHub, a co-working space located right by the picturesque ocean at Koh Lanta, Krabi.
