La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+
The weather in Bangkok has been unpredictable lately. Some days it’s hot, other days it’s windy, but every day it’s polluted to the point where you can’t tell if it’s going to rain or if it’s just pollution. Due to the dusty air, my skin has become irritated with tiny red, itchy bumps on my cheeks. I hope I’m not the only one experiencing this. However, I’ve found a solution to my problem. I’d heard a lot about the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ on TikTok, but I hadn’t tried it until now. Surprisingly, this product reduced redness and itchiness in just one day. It’s also very moisturising. – Tipapa Chandarasrivongs, Content Writer
Chato Savoir Art “The Shelly Art” Spring Summer 2024
Chato Studio, a fashionable Thai brand, has recently launched its latest collection, which includes the stunning Pari Shelly bag. The bag is crafted using the exquisite craftmanship straw technique, which uses the Shelly leather straw. Whether you carry it as a clutch or wear it on your shoulder, it’s a beautiful accessory to have.
In addition, the brand has partnered with Takara Cafe, a coffee shop in Bangsaen, to launch its SS24 collection. During the pop-up, guests can enjoy a complete menu of delicious drinks and desserts. Furthermore, there’s a large egg-shaped sculpture called “The Shelly Egg” on the beach, crafted by artist Thanawat Saetan. The statue is covered in the same leather weaving technique as the bag, inspired by sea shellfish. – Aekkachai Angkulthivakorn, Managing Editor

This watch comes in four different models, each representing a different season. The dial features four animal images inspired by the brand’s silk scarves. These miniature paintings are decorated with paillonné enamel, which adds to their brightness and helps convey the cycles of each season.

Dune Part Two
Director Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster movie, Dune, is back with part two. The story revolves around a cosmic struggle between religions, philosophies, and beliefs, with Timothée Chalamet playing the main character, Paul Atreides. Part two picks up right from where the first part ended, and it’s an intense and captivating continuation. The breathtaking scenery and flawless lighting continue to dominate the movie. The cast includes Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, and new actors Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and Léa Seydoux.
The movie runs for nearly three hours, and it honestly keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. I recommend reserving the IMAX version for an exhilarating viewing experience, especially for the fighting scenes of each character and the grandeur of the giant worm, Shai-Hulud. – P.T., Senior Writer
