How elections amplify our echo chamber
Life, Niki Chatikavanij, Published on 14/02/2026
» This past week, most Bangkokians woke up with a post-election hangover. It's a similar feeling to when you have too many glasses of wine at dinner, or went a bit too heavy for your friend's birthday. This feeling, though, doesn't subside throughout the day with a nice long shower or a glass of water.

Life, Anna Neatpisarnvanich, Published on 10/02/2026
» This year, beauty clichés are being left behind. The bold red lip long synonymous with romance can stay in the drawer. Along with it, the anxiety of lipstick on wine glasses, over-lined cupid's bows and the constant check for smudged teeth.

» Taking a pair of scissors to your own work is a difficult task, but when you're the director, cinematographer, and writer of a movie, it's downright impossible.

» After his Oscar-sweeping triumph Parasite (2019), Bong Joon-ho had carte blanche to do just about anything. His follow-up? Mickey 17 -- a US$115 million (3.8 billion baht) sci-fi dark comedy that's equal parts existential nightmare, absurdist farce and strangely, a love story. Based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, the film is genre-defying, thought-provoking and often downright bizarre -- in the best way possible.

Skin microbiome disrupted with too-frequent bathing
Life, Dr Eve Glazier and Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 25/02/2025
» DEAR DOCTORS: I saw where a doctor wrote a book about what happened to his skin when he stopped bathing for a few years. He said our skin has a microbiome, and he wanted to learn more about it. Is that the same thing as the gut microbiome? What does taking a bath have to do with it?
