Bangkok Noi bling
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 25/02/2022
» There's no doubt that Thai wooden houses possess a quaint and charming character you'd be hard-pressed to replicate elsewhere. Therefore, it's somewhat aggravating that they don't enjoy the same fawning over that neoclassical or colonial buildings in Bangkok do when it comes to preservation. Rickety, stilt wooden houses alongside the river may seem common and "normal" for the average Thai, but Bangkok-based Filipina entrepreneur Irma Go has always loved these structures, especially while taking visiting family and friends on boat tours on the sleepy canals of Bangkok.

Taking it to the slopes
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/11/2020
» If you are the fashion wild child who has a temperament for winter sports, rejoice in the fact that Sretsis has just unveiled a full-fledged skiwear collection that Sretsis gals (and children!) can take to the slopes. Titled "The Dreamers", the fall/winter 2020 collection features truly show-stopping ski suits, down jackets, overalls and leggings that are not a mere slapping on of cloud, floral and leopard prints onto skiwear.

Bonjour, Loubi World!
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/10/2020
» For the first time ever, heel fanatics will be able to buy themselves a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for approximately 62 baht. That's a crazy good deal, considering how a pair of shoes from this luxury high-end brand should set you back no less than 20,000 baht. The catch, however, is that all this must be done (and worn) in the Korea-based gaming application Zepeto.

Beyond utility
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/06/2020
» It was a mixed blessing for Norse Republics when they first added the Swiss premium furniture brand, Vitra, to their roster of high-end, design-savvy furnishings back in February. The global pandemic of Covid-19 meant that the official launch to introduce the brand would have to be postponed, while importing was also met with delays due to hindered cargo transportation. However, there couldn't have been a better time for Vitra to announce itself in Thailand, what with working spaces and workflow drastically changing in these past few months.

A penchant for eclecticism
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/06/2019
» Angela Missoni has an instinctively observant eye befitting a creative director who has helmed her family's fashion brand to global regard for over 20 years. Within the first few seconds of stepping into the new Missoni store which has just opened at Central Embassy, she is quick to catch the discord within the flagship's ambience: the distasteful black tape holding down speaker wires, a hat on a stand angled at a disagreeable position and this writer's purposely mismatched earrings.

Sheltered paradise
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/09/2018
» One of the greatest things in life is to be able to do anything, anywhere, at your own pace while on holiday. I may have the extreme in mind (when you can afford to wake up at 3pm, begin your day at 5pm or get a decent slice of culture all within a short walk away), but if convenience and not having to catch some weird local sickness are part of the package, then why not, right? Of course, not all of us may be free to travel during the high season, when there are no storms to put a damper on our getaway. But even if money cannot buy impeccable weather, it can still buy you an exquisite holiday experience and pictures, if you just know where to look.

A heart-racing time at the track
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/09/2018
» Locals say The Fullerton is where the best view is when it comes to the Formula 1 races held in Singapore, but, to be honest, a 360 view has nothing on being near the vroom-ing roar of engines, right at the heart of the happening. Unless you were to throw a party for 40 in your suite's veranda, it's probably a better idea to splash on getting actual tickets to the event than paying five times the usual room rates. For a first-timer to this whole night-race experience and F1 weekend in Singapore, there is nothing quite as infectious as the collective gasps and cheers every time a race car zooms by or how one derives guilty pleasure when witnessing a crash.

See you at the tent
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/08/2018

Starting today, CentralWorld will resume its role as one of Bangkok's major stomping grounds as 14 shows from 18 designers run through Sept 2. This year sees old legends, established brands, as well as up-and-coming names.

Feeling all right
B Magazine, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/08/2018
» There is a stillness -- borderline boring -- to Scrubb's chosen mode of visual expression. The constant of stony faces and stock-still poses that embellishes all of the band's album artwork, editorial photo shoots and magazine covers is bequeathed on us too, as Torpong "Ball" Chantabubpha and Thawatpon "Muay" Wongboonsiri laugh through gritted teeth that it is actually a strain for them to smile for the cameras or to assume the role of a dancing monkey.

Where a good time is prime
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/06/2018
» Different resorts are suitable for different things. On the Phuket holidaying circuit, one of the most prevalent names you're likely to come across steadily is Sri Panwa, the pool villa spectacularly managed by the Issara clan. Its photogenic rooftop bar, Baba Nest, is packed with beautiful socialites that will flood your social-media feed all year round. However, there's another Baba that's also generating some buzz, and it's certainly well suited to those who would rather dance the night away than flex for the 'Gram.
