    Molam's mass movement

    Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 07/11/2014

    » 'Molam can't be tamed," so the old saying goes. The years have certainly proven this true. From now until the end of March next year, the Jim Thompson Art Center presents "Joyful Khaen, Joyful Dance", an exhibition tracing the development of molam from its ritualistic roots in Isan, through its passage as anti-communism propaganda, to its current place in pop culture, where the once rural music is played to the cool or even international crowd of Bangkok.

    Peppy Peppina

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 07/11/2014

    » These days in Bangkok, it's not just about choosing simply "pizza" for dinner, but what style of pizza you'd prefer. It's a good problem, after all, but we'll have to get used to such discernment. In the latest contender in the pizza race, the team behind Appia has delivered Peppina, a bustling mid-Sukhumvit spread that has somehow become everything from a Sunday evening pizzeria to a Friday night hot spot. It has only been open a few months and it's already full, all the time, so book in advance — something else that will need getting used to in this city. The kitchen dominates the warehouse-style room to good effect, involving you right in the action among the countless food and floor staff buzzing about the place. It's great for big groups (definitely book), and during our early sitting we were flanked by two tables of at least 10, who were easily accommodated. Nooks in the back section (under the stylish wall tiles that spell "Peppina") offer more intimacy for smaller groups. Overall, there's room for 80 or so.

    A bird of passage

    Guru, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 07/11/2014

    » Property heiress Sasathorn Hongsananda may have been born into wealth — Gaysorn is her family’s real estate business, after all. It is, however, wanderlust that has been her main asset to absorb all things beautiful as she travels the world. Having been to over 40 countries and speaking five languages, the UK-educated 25-year-old translates her true passion for travelling and photography into a travel and lifestyle blog. This month, the wanderer is launching www.6birdsflying.com, where she curates her travel memoirs, spontaneous snaps and all-around interests. Leading a health-conscious and active life, Sasathorn has also been selected as Thailand’s first brand ambassador for customised skincare line, Skin Inc (www.skinincthailand.com, fb.com/skinincthailand).

    By way of the Bay

    Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 07/11/2014

    » The name sounded too generic (o-cha, which means "delicious" in Thai, is one of the most common restaurant names in the country). The cuisine didn't seem to offer anything beyond what Bangkok already has in droves. And the location, on the premises of a condominium, can easily be missed. But as soon as I entered the recently opened Osha Thai Restaurant & Bar, I felt that the city's gastronomic scene had just received an exciting new addition.

    The fading innocence of little miracles

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 07/11/2014

    » I have a new man in my life. He has light brown hair and grey eyes (I think that eventually, grey will turn to brown). He's as handsome as they come. I'm talking about my new grandson.

    Towers of ice cream make crowds loopy

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 07/11/2014

    » It's the kind of ice cream you only see in the cartoons — until now, that is. Piled vertically right on top of each other, the scoops (ordered by the sane) don't usually exceed two or three, although the owner of Emack and Bolio's tells us some crazy cats out there have created a tower of 10.

    Fresh & flawless

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/11/2014

    » The opening of Fillets is like the arrival of rain after years of drought — it gives the neighbourhood of Lang Suan a taste of modernity that was clearly lacking. Set inside Portico, the community mall that seems to guarantee restaurants and shops a lifespan of about six months before disappearing into thin air, Fillets stands proudly on the third floor with a clear aim of providing urbanites with contemporary Japanese fare. There is a balcony area for those who prefer fresh air, or settle yourselves inside among the comfort of a modern warehouse-style interior and authentic Japanese decor like a ceramic sake flask and cups. Diners include office workers, celebrities and loyal fans of the infamous duo — Chef Randy and beverage director Ping — who are at the forefront of modern Japanese cuisine and mixology in Bangkok.
