Art to float your boat
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 17/08/2016

Born, bred (and perhaps brewed)
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 19/08/2016
» The place looks like a regular house in the suburban Pak Kret district, roughly one-hour drive out of Bangkok.

One for the books
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 18/08/2016
» Bangkok just can't get enough of literary input, and we are talking about just the month of August alone. Last month there was the Bangkok Book Festival, and ongoing until this Sunday is the much-hyped Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, offering 60-80% discounts on 2 million copies of English language books from every imaginable genre. It's a fair where many have spent money on books they probably won't get to read in this lifetime.

» With any political fight, it's hardly the end when street clashes are over -- camps demolished, protesters injured or dead and the authorities able to curb the movement or finally comply with its demands. The fight continues and what's perhaps more significant than action on the streets is finding the desired spot in a page in history, in people's minds. The question is: how are we to be remembered?

» At the beginning of the play Me, Myself, And The Mind Of The Insignificance, Pathipon Adsavamahapong's directorial debut, which finished last Sunday at Crescent Moon Space, actor Pathavee Thepkraiwan proclaimed: "This is a place within oneself.

A national blindside for contemporary art
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/08/2016
» Ten million baht was the sum that 81-year-old Waraporn Suravadi, the caretaker of the Bangkok Folk's Museum, needed to buy the plot of land next to her museum, which was to become the site of an eight-storey building. That construction project could potentially spoil the view and atmosphere of the museum -- a well-preserved war-era teak house that displays rare and valuable items dating back more than 100 years, to the reign of King Rama V.
