    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 25/03/2016

    » Ever since the beginning of the year, Bangkok has not been short of world-class musical icons flying in to grace Thai fans, from Madonna to Santana to most recently David Foster. So it's not unusual that the legendary Welsh singer Tom Jones is next to dazzle Thai audiences.

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 04/03/2016

    » Almost five years ago the late writer and National Artist in literature Prabhassorn Sevikul wrote a short story. The text was not published on paper but painted along the bank of Mae Khlong river, and you had to walk the total of 3km to finish the story. The ephemeral aspect of this, along with 74 other artworks installed around Ratchaburi, featured in the first edition of the community-based "Art Normal" event.

    Get into the groove -- Madonna is here

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 09/02/2016

    » Yes, Madonna is singing live tonight. And yes, Madonna is definitely by now somewhere in Bangkok, after photos showing her arrive at the airport on Sunday night popped up online, enough for her "children" across Thailand to swoon. As you read this, just take a moment to get this fact registered in your head the Queen of Pop is actually here on the same soil as the rest of us, breathing this same polluted Bangkok air. She could be queuing up for some moo ping for breakfast on the streets, or on the back of a motorcycle to Platinum in search for new looks, we don't know.

    Blue-blood gets a taste for your blood

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 09/02/2016

    » When Chulachak Chakrabongse speaks, he rarely looks your way. He could be drifting or struck by sheer boredom, but you are never offended. You're busy wondering what to make of his presence: as teen star that he once was, as a father of two, as great-great-grandson of King Rama V, as 34-year-old blues rock star "Hugo", who was with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. Or now, in a rather unexpected turn of career path, as Count Dracula in a stage play production of Bram Stoker's classic.

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 11/02/2016

    » With cartoons, it's her recreation of incidents -- with simple drawings and snappy dialogue -- which draw our attention to the significance that lies hidden in the mundane. With her illustrations -- oftentimes incredibly detailed and reminiscent of Martin Handford's Where's Wally? series -- there is an in-depth knowledge about Thai society and characters of people that is colourfully imbued.

    All aboard the magical molam bus

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 15/12/2015

    » At the second edition of Wonderfruit, a four-day arts and lifestyle festival which begins this Thursday, we don't only have international acts to look forward to. Sure, there's soulful lyricism from rapper Yasiin Bey (AKA Mos Def), the much-hyped R&B duo Rhye whose songs like Open are sure to transport you into a trance, and Com Truise's catchy synth pop. But at the festival our home-grown bands have a lot to offer too.

    A rather fruity affair

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 24/12/2015

    Loud paintings

    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 13/01/2016

    » Echoing the title of Paphonsak La-or's solo exhibition "Silent No More", his opening reception at Lyla Gallery in Chiang Mai on Boxing Day last year was buzzing with locals and those who had made the trip from Bangkok. Milling around, everyone in the exhibition room couldn't possibly have avoided the huge 7m-long centrepiece that comes with a shade of blue paint that is neither gloomy nor reassuring in the background. While there's a sentence in the middle, "This image is no longer available", the bottom text reads, "Love which was woven in our society leads to a great tragedy and sorrow".
