Again and Again Vintage: A Stylist and Fashion Designer Adored by Thai High Society
I was very exited to write about a Thai fashion designer for the first time, an actual designer who had worked as a designer for a fashion brand professionally before creating her very own label. Her style was vintage inspired, with a modern and tropical twist, and a flare of classy and sassiness! My very first question to said designer
Soap Opera Bangkok: The Made-in-Bangkok Soap that Keeps You Squeaky Clean and Smelling Great
I was looking for hand soap online. After typing “soap Thailand” into Google, hundreds of results appeared. Soap Opera was the one stood out and immediately led me to its site. Coming from brands, I am often intrigued by the brand name that the founder had decided upon. Right away I thought to myself, “That’s a very clever and dramatic

By now, this Tai Tai has covered two eco-friendly Thai brands that produce high-quality products made from recycled plastic: Little Ocean Heroes and MAT-ER.

Do you know any Thai word beyond “Sawadee”? I have been studying the language since our relocation to the land of smiles. My favourite Thai word so far is “RAK”, which means LOVE.

Once we decided to make Thailand our base in Asia, we looked for a forever home for our family. Due to our son’s mobility challenges, we struggled to find the right home. Most villas are split into levels, when we were looking for one that could allow our son to move within the same floor, while there would be plenty of rooms
Marmoris Sandals – Must Buy Sandals Handmade in Thailand
Embracing Thailand’s Shoes-Off Culture I can count on my hand the number of times I wore closed-toed shoes since I relocated to Thailand. After the first few times, I switched to flip flops entirely, as most of the places we go to expect visitors to take their shoes off. Even venues like shops, café, yoga studios, and nail salons expect customers

What is your morning routine with your children? When it comes to my kids, Max, my five-year-old son, is always the first one to get up. This to happen at any hour between 1 and 4 AM, but recently, he has started to get up between 4:30 and 5:30 AM. (Oh yes, a bottle of champagne is being chilled in the fridge once this
Little Ocean Heroes: Stylish Thai Beach Shorts Made of Recycled Plastics
My husband is very picky when it comes to swim shorts. They have to be the right size, right colour, right cutting, right feeling, and right pattern for him to be happy. What seems “right” to me may not be “right” for him. For one thing, he does not like the swim shorts too long to make him look like a surfer
Lacylace: A Beautiful Thai Lingerie Brand Born Out of an Instagram Post
Have you ever heard of a Thailand women’s clothing brand born out of an Instagram post? Well, my first time hearing that was when I spoke to Didi, the founder and creator of Lacylace, a Thai lingerie brand that I have fallen in love with, who shared with me how she started her business of making beautiful intimate wear. “It started
