Modern classicals

I like his style a lot.
The loafers match the bag and the trousers. The trousers are slightly raised above the ankle. The t-shirt has cool details and colors. Retro sunglasses, watch and belt. A good illustration of classical items worn with style.

Songkran

by

New Year’s celebrations in Thailand take place from the 13th to the 15th of April. The Songkran festival I experienced in Bangkok wasn’t exactly spiritual and religious (the water is originally meant as a symbol of washing all of the bad away and the use of chalk refers to the way blessings are marked by monks), but it was a lot of fun. Get yourself a water-gun and go play with everyone but be ready to be soaked and covered with chalk.

Siam square, the modern shopping area of Bangkok.

I would recommend you to drop by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. A brand new and promising showcase for young Thai contemporary artists.

Holy thai

by

Theravada or Hinayana Buddhism is the national religion of Thailand (faith of 95% of the population) but there is total religious freedom and both the king and the governement support all the religions.
Temples and representations of Buddha are ubiquitous in Thai society and represent a real delight for the eyes.
