Balancing Act

BALANCING ACT Modern socialite and heiress to Thailand’s top newspaper, “Mulee” Anchisa Watcharapol is always dashing and stylish every time she is spotted. Underneath her fashion-forward exterior, this young lady in her twenties is actually head over heels in love with nature. PHOTOGRAPHY : ANCHISA WATCHARAPOL STORY : TAWAN KONKAEW REPUBLIC OF MAURITIUS “I was fascinated by the islands of the Republic of Mauritius. I visited them during Songkran holidays several years ago with my mother and sister. They are small islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, near Africa, surrounded by clear blue sea. When sailing out into the ocean, you can still see the sand underneath. The locals were also very friendly. When we walked past a fisherman village, the people would recommend where to go and they were very helpful. I also liked the place because it was the only place where I met several dolphins. I don’t…

MY WORLD
Meaningful Destination

Her role as Vogue Thailand’s fashion editor makes people think “Pook” Jongkol Palarit only travels to fashion capitals around the world. In fact, her favourite destinations are far more magical than we think. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK “What I love most about Copenhagen is the lifestyle of the people here. It’s different from other European cities. People in Copenhagen are very aware and responsible for their community. They maintain cleanliness and they follow traffic rules. They are orderly in a way that doesn’t suffocate me or make everything feel too strict. It is also a very comfortable city to be in. The weather is cool all year round, so the homes are very warm and the designs are very unique. Its architecture focuses on functionality. There are many beautiful buildings designed by talented architects -- and these are usually real people’s homes, not government buildings or offices. The furniture is also very nice.…

Sentimental Memory

SENTIMENTAL MEMORY Over the past several years, we have seen amazing fashion photography by Sootket Jiwpanit in Vogue Thailand. He’s famous for taking portraits and highlighting his subjects’ emotions. PHOTOGRAPHY:  SOOTKET JIWPANIT STORY:  CHALISA VIRAVAN “I prefer portraits to landscape pictures. Even when I take pictures of places, there are always people in them,” he said. He has taken many photos, and today he shares with us pictures that have a special meaning to him. PARIS “Paris is a romantic city, and I can feel that everywhere. It was a new thing for me at the time, seeing public displays of affection between men and women. I usually carried a film camera with me, and I took this picture because I was impressed with their openness. On the same day, I walked to Le Marais and saw a man trying to get his baby to sleep by humming. I could feel…

Tiny Wisdom

A small chapter from Chalisa Viravan’s diaries about visiting Mount Kailash, in Tibet, a place believed by four religions to be the centre of the universe Many people have asked me why I chose to venture to such a challenging place. My reason is pretty simple -- I did it because I wanted to. I was 14 years old when I left home to study abroad, so travelling has always been a part of my life. I also moved school a lot, so I always experienced new things. People usually think that those who travel to places off the beaten path are unhappy people looking for a solution. Maybe they got that idea from Thai dramas, in which women choose to run away to escape problems. Some think that it’s better to be comfortable at home. For me, I am an extremist in a way. Mount Kailash is the ultimate destination for me -- I had heard about it…
