» Charming cities attract and induce visitors to visit again and again, which is a boon to the local economy. While many provinces have cemented their place as established tourist attractions, some lack distinctive tourism qualities as they do not offer much in terms of entertainment for typical tourists. Instead, they draw visitors due to their serenity where livelihoods and the social fabric of communities have remained unblemished. As such, Pak Tor district stands out as one of those most fascinating places to visit.

» Throughout their decades-spanning career in the music biz, Pet Shop Boys have always operated within the realm of sophisticated synth-pop that advocates varying degrees of dancefloor abandon. For lyricist Neil Tennant and composer Chris Lowe, however, it's not just about the allure of club culture or pure hedonism. From day one, social consciousness gets woven into the sonic fabric of their music. "In a West End town, a dead-end world/ The East End boys and West End girls," Tennant sings about the class and wealth gap on their 1984 debut single West End Girls.

» Bangkok is full of places where you can go to eat. There are food streets where diners can select dishes and varieties to suit their preferences. People can have meals at food centres in supermarkets or at restaurants in department stores or shopping malls. Besides that, they can dine at stand-alone food shops and eateries located on every corner of the city. There are no limitations at all when it comes to food and dining in Bangkok.

» In much the same way that eyes are said to be the window to the soul, band names give us a glimpse into the collective personality lurking behind each group. And as far as Thai band names are concerned, they can range from prosaic (Solitude Is Bliss, My Life As Ali Thomas) and whimsical (Apartment Khunpa, Charblues, Gym and Swim) to absolutely outlandish (Big Ass, Calories Blah Blah). For Sakon Nakhon-based trio Junlaholaan, names represent a curious juxtaposition where two incongruous concepts (jun, micro, and holaan, enormous) coexist to convey a deeply philosophical message. Yes, we are but a tiny speck in the universe -- the band seems to be saying -- but at the same time, a butterfly in Brazil could also cause a tornado in Texas, couldn't it?
