» Nicola Jones-Crossley, 23, is the branch director of Business in Heels Bangkok, a women’s-only networking group for sassy and successful professionals. Business in Heels (BIH) was founded in Australia in early 2012, and since then has achieved a global presence with over 35 branches in the US, UAE, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and now Thailand. Boasting “Business Babes” that come together professionally and personally, BIH events are like a bra — they support women. BIH Bangkok will have its official launch on Wed, Mar 26 at Swissotel Nai Lert Park (6:30-9pm. Tickets available from businessinheelsbangkokpremier.eventbrite.com.au). We sat down for a woman-to-woman chat with Nicola ahead of BIH’s Bangkok debut next week.

It's a long weekend, baby!
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 24/05/2013

Putting the "h" in "stupid"!
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 23/11/2012
» Just this week alone, President Barack Obama and Chinese premier Wen Jiabao visited Thailand, presumably because it's high season for travel in the superpower calendar. And who doesn't love it when important people come here? It gives us the chance to adorn them with garlands, giggle when they attempt to speak Thai (not to mention swoon when they wai), and most notably offer them a free tourism pitch for our most amazing country!

Sometimes we all just need a hug
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 18/05/2012
» Before any lawsuits or pink slips get thrown my way, let me first state for the record that the following grievances are in no way related to the esteemed company I work for. All gripes resembling living persons are merely fictitious or coincidental, and do not reflect upon my 9am to 5pm (OK, fine, 11am to 2pm) existence.
