Exclusive Interview: Mellow Mario

MELLOW MARIO It has been a full decade since Thai people laid their eyes on the handsome young Mario Maurer for the first time in The Love of Siam. He has since then become a rising star in Thailand’s entertainment business, and you can’t tell from his look that this young-looking man is actually 29. Many years has passed, but Mario remains as sweet as ever. Mario has recently taken on a new role as King Power presenter. He admits frankly, “I’m very excited and honoured.

The Greatest King: The Father of Royal Rainmaking

THE FATHER OF ROYAL RAIN-- MAKING His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej cared deeply about those living in rural areas who faced a severe shortage of water for consumption and agriculture due to prolonged drought, delayed rainy season, or unseasonal rain. Drought was solved by His Majesty’s Royal Rainmaking Project. The idea came after His Majesty had visited various places and saw that there were clouds in the sky, but not enough to make rain. If those clouds could be gathered, rain could be made.  Since 1955, His Majesty had read research work on meteorology and weather modification, which he found useful for combating weather change.
