Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 25/04/2026
» A general admission ticket to Coachella 2026 started at US$549 (about 17,750 baht), and that was before the shuttle pass, the camping fee, the service charges, the flight to Southern California and the accommodation in a region where budget motels were running $600 a night during festival weekend. On the secondary market, a single GA ticket hit $5,263. On-site, a latte cost $17 and an order of fries $28, and around 60% of attendees bought their original tickets on a payment plan. The conversation about whether Coachella has priced out its own audience has been running for years, and this April it got noticeably louder.

The morning after Bangkok's biggest Songkran yet
Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 18/04/2026
» The Tourism Authority of Thailand projected 30.3 billion baht in Songkran revenue this year, up 6% from 2025 and released the number with the kind of confidence that comes from having done the work. The production at Benchakitti Park, the coordinated Silom closure, the S2O headliners on Ratchadaphisek, the international press coverage -- none of it was accidental. Bangkok did not stumble into becoming one of the world's most-watched festival destinations. It applied for the job and this year the application was approved at scale.
This year, Songkran hits a little bit different
Life, Niki Chatikavanij, Published on 11/04/2026
» As Thais gear up for the upcoming Songkran holiday, I can't help but notice how this year's highly anticipated days off and time off work have a bit more nuance to them than usual. Granted, people are still discussing rest, relaxation and how they will fully utilise their time away from the office, whilst the jetset crowd will undoubtedly make full use of flying overseas and avoiding Middle Eastern routes, but something feels a bit different this year.

» We train in waves -- rounds, circuits, relentless effort stacking on endlessly. We chase the burn, the pace, the push past comfort. But for the longest time, there was no real arena for that kind of training. No start line, no finish line, no way to measure yourself against others in the world.
