» If you were to guess what Rika Ishige does for a living, there's a 100% chance that you'll get it wrong. With her petite frame, sparkling doe-eyes and a cheeky smile that's able to light up a whole room, the half-Thai, half-Japanese 28-year-old could actually beat you to a pulp.

Courting controversy
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 13/01/2016
» When creativity crosses the line into insensitivity, there's usually a pattern of uproar, apology and cancellation. In the past many years, there's been a number of notorious cases of insensitive creativity in Thai commercials, series, films and visual representations that have made international headlines. The offensive issues often involve race, skin colour, ethnicity and historical interpretation. There are many more that never made the front page, for example the casual mockery of minorities and genders that is normalised by the audience, such as jokes on the accents of hilltribe people that often appear in movies and TV series.
Fit to print
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 29/01/2016
» Sometimes, for the sake of appearing in-the-loop, we self-proclaimed fashionistas pass around empty comments like, "Print is in." You can plug virtually in any subject there and the statement would still ring true. Nothing is ever out of fashion, only perhaps how it's styled. That's why we'd like to supply you with a more evidence to corroborate the fact that "print is in" in 2016.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/09/2014

We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.
The latest cut
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 27/09/2013
» A place that only old men frequent and kids dread embarrassing crew cuts, old-school barber shops have been marginalised in the lifestyle hierarchy since lot of men, especially the metrosexual generation, have opted for unisex salons where speed and fashion meet. In recent years, however, the red-and-white barber pole, the nostalgic buzz of electric hair clippers, the thick layer of lather and the masterly handling of the open razor while the customer is on a reclining chair - all of these have made a trendy comeback.
Skin Deep?
Guru, Published on 26/07/2013
» In Thailand, the topic of physical beauty - whether yours, ours or a stranger's - has become a huge part of our culture. Like a personal bowel movement, appearance is a casual topic that can be brought up in any conversation. After all, friends and acquaintances comment on weight or skin colour often immediately after a sawasdee.
