The Silpathorn Award focuses on contemporary disciplines — fashion, architecture, literature, music, film, performing art and visual art — and recipients, who are between 30 to 50, represent the youthful, progressive energy in the Thai creative scene.

» We weep for the South. We send prayers and we will remember, or try our best to remember, all the deaths and not consign them to the faceless realm of statistics. On Wednesday night, ruthless, lawless, godless insurgents killed six civilians, including two-year-old Jakarin Hiangma, in a sign of escalating violence that leaves Buddhists and Muslims alike in shame and shock.
