Thailand has officially entered its summer season. As early as the last few days of February, the city was already awash in sweltering heat. And it’s not going to get any better soon—the “feels like” temperature is projected to reach almost 50 degrees Celsius in the coming days! In the Meteorological Department of Thailand’s recently released weather forecast, you’ll see that the “feels like” temperature, a calculated combination of air temperature, wind, and humidity, is expected to reach as high as 48.1 degrees in Bangkok, with the highest figure expected at a scorching 51.4 degrees Celsius in Chonburi. People are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and to stay hydrated to prevent heatstroke.

Louis Vuitton has launched its all-new immersive experience in Bangkok, and it’s not to be missed.  “Visionary Journeys” is applause-worthy for presenting 150 years worth of Louis Vuitton creativity in a fun, stunning, and immersive experience. Best of all, access is free! Designed by award-winning architect firm OMA, led by Shohei Shigematsu, the exhibit comprises four parts:  Trunkscape, Origins, Icons, and Collaborations. Upon entering, Trunkscape greets you with a jaw-dropping tunnel-slash-time portal that features 96 vintage Louis Vuitton trunks surrounded by digital screens playing moving images. This steers you into Origins, a room showcasing rare vintage trunks from the Paris archive. The room also reveals how these prized trunks have evolved over the years and have given inspiration to succeeding LV products.   Icons, the next zone, presents the notable visionaries, such Nicholas Ghesquiere and Pharrell Williams, who have been behind the brand’s most iconic bags,  all presented in “bubbles” to symbolize a “bubble of creativity”. Collaborations reveals LV’s efforts to fly above the game through continuous collaborations with artists and labels such as Yayoi Kusama, Steven Sprouse, and Supreme, all presented in a 360-degree digital screen.  The show concludes in a room lit up by multi-hued panels inspired by the colors seen on booths at the famed Rod Fai Market Ratchada. Interact with the screen to receive a cool set of postcards as a souvenir.   The exhibition will be

  • Horror

Okay, now that we got to scream that in all caps, let us tell you–in a more normal tone—why Thais scary films are a source of pride for the country and why they’re more deserving of praise from the rest of the world. Before we begin, we do have to point out that horror films are generally the most underrated genre in the cinematic scope. A lot of people are turned off by the idea of getting shocked by thumping sounds and ghostly figures, and the unpleasant sight of gore, not to mention disturbing and depressing stories that reveal the dark side and twisted minds of humanity. Ironically, these are also the reasons why they’re a hit with a particular audience and why they’re critically successful. The last decade has produced very good horror movies like Hereditary (2018), The Witch (2015), The Conjuring (2013), and Get Out (2017). These titles, with their clever plots, historical references and social commentaries, have brought the whole genre up from a deep dark hole into the spotlight while still successfully eliciting fear for brilliant entertainment. What’s little known is that Thailand’s film industry serves a big, fat, fearful feast of great horrors. Our country is overflowing with rich culture and folklore circling around Buddhist-driven concepts like spirits, reincarnation, karma and black magic, all of which inspire Thai film directors to take turns producing a horde of spine-chilling motion pictures. Whereas jump scares and tongue-in-cheek brouhaha may be the gimmick

Come to shop, sip freshly brewed coffee, enjoy elegant fare by one of the world’s most esteemed chefs, and brush up on fashion history at LV The Place Bangkok, Louis Vuitton's new concept store, which made its world debut in Thailand this month at Gaysorn Amarin in Ratchaprasong.   LV The Place will first blind your eyes with an over-the-top illuminated facade that’s obviously derived from the French brand’s iconic monogram pattern, which was first created in the 1950s. Behind this glittering facade are two floors of luxury goods as well as indulgent experiences.  Photograph: Tanisorn VongsoontonLe Cafe Louis Vuitton  The first floor is home to Le Café, the designer brand’s first cafe in Thailand, which offers an array of gorgeously presented cakes and cookies (said to be prepared by Blue by Alain Ducasse pastry kitchen) along with coffee bearing the LV monogram. How expensive, you may ask? Cakes are priced from B550 while cookies go for B1,700 for a box of five. But if you’re taking them home, they do come in the signature Louis Vuitton orange-hued box. And that’s almost worth the extravagant prices.  Photograph: Tanisorn VongsoontonLouis Vuitton Visionary Journeys Half of the first floor also hosts Visionary Journeys, an immersive and interactive exhibition that takes you on a journey through the brand’s history and past collaborations. It’s a fun and awe-inspiring way of learning all about the French brand. Entry is free, although you would need to pre-book.  Photogra

Calling veganism a trend is so last year. It’s now a legit lifestyle option, thanks to advocates who relentlessly point out that a meat-free, plant-based diet is beneficial, not just to one's health but to the environment as well. (Did you know that animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions or that the leading cause of rainforest destruction are livestock and feed crops?*) So it’s a good sign that we’re seeing more plant-based establishments cropping up in the city. We’ve rounded up the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants as well as vegan delivery options in the city, from creative vegan eateries to a raw food cafe to a shop that sells plant-based cheese. Whether you’re a full-time vegan, a dabbler in the diet or somewhere in between, any of these places won’t have you asking for meat.
