The timeless beauty of decency
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 20/11/2015
» I was scrolling through my Facebook and Instagram feeds during a layover between flights recently. Perhaps it was jet lag or exhaustion but as I was flipping through my phone, I became a bit bothered by the amount of young girls showing cleavages, midriffs, and wearing bottoms that were too small, or too short and sometimes even both. From young ladies posting sexy selfies, to Miley Cyrus' extreme Video Music Awards outfits, the media seems to be flooded with overexposure.

The fading innocence of little miracles
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 07/11/2014
» I have a new man in my life. He has light brown hair and grey eyes (I think that eventually, grey will turn to brown). He's as handsome as they come. I'm talking about my new grandson.

Beauty and the beholder: no longer skin deep
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 03/09/2014
» When conversations come up about beauty pageants, the names Apasra Hongsakula and Porntip "Bui" Nakhirunkanok are never far from everyone's lips. Well, anyone, that is, over the age of 20. The two Miss Universe winners — Apasra in 1965 and Bui in 1988 — were the icons of beauty for the world. They were two beautiful women, poised, and grand. But before they graced and consequently charmed the world stage, we should not forget that they were first crowned Miss Thailand.

Guiding the tech kids, analogously
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 30/07/2014
» In late June, Alysia Montano, an Olympic-class runner, ran the US Outdoor Track and Field Championships 800m race while 34 weeks pregnant.

Montano, who consulted her doctor and received the OK to run, was praised by many (including other pregnant women) for inspiring them to get in shape and condemned by others for being reckless with her unborn child.

Unsocial network
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 25/06/2014
» As a regular Facebook, Line and Instagram user, I find it hard to believe that there is an antisocial media app. I recently heard about Cloak (though I think that it’s been around for a while). Cloak is an app that helps you avoid people that you don’t want to meet. It sounded strange at first. But after some thought, I can definitely see its usefulness. If I were a student trying to ditch a day of school, I would not want to run into people who would recognise me and tell my parents. If I owed a friend some money and couldn’t pay it back yet, running into that friend would not be very pleasant.

Many mobile devices are now equipped with features allowing us to browse the net. In cities, there are free Wi-Fi hot spots and internet cafes around nearly every corner. Communication towers and antennas are sprouting like weeds, expanding internet access to more and more rural areas.

Walking a fine line
Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 30/08/2013
» When I first heard the news that the Thai police had plans to monitor Line, I immediately scrolled through my Line logs and searched for texts about my sad golf scores and a disastrous picture of me in a not-so flattering dress that I wore a month ago.
