At seven, a compilation book of her art was published. At 17, she was accepted by Central Saint Martin's College of Arts and Design in London even though she hadn't even finished high school. At 19, another book was published. At 22, she had her work exhibited at the Venice Biennale (she was the youngest participant, of course). At 26, she started her own design and architecture company.

Beer-garden lite
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 20/12/2013
» Bangkok's weather has been unusually nice these past couple of days. And while we keep our fingers crossed for it to last a little longer, what better way to get ourselves into a celebratory mood as we move closer to the year's end than a glass of ice-cold beer, the company of a group of friends and some good vibes.

The truth will out
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/01/2014
» Over the past few months, the social media in Thailand has literally turned from a playground for fun and entertaining diversions into a veritable battlefield.
