 Whether you choose to go out in Bangkok or stay in and watch MTV, it's hard to escape LouLou Ferrari these days. As our party pic archives show, this clubland queen has been turning heads on a nightly basis for at least as long as BangkokRecorder has been running, so we thought it was time to give the glamorous harlot her own interview.

 In a luxury hotel suite overlooking Bangkok, Sampo Löppönen reclines on the bed, running a computer mouse over white sheets to collect his winnings. Like a growing number of gifted people, he funds a GQ lifestyle through online and offline poker.

 To anyone who has stumbled across his blog, Bangkok’s ‘MORALLY DIMINISHED’ needs little introduction. As his pseudonym suggests, these are the content wallowings of a man unburdened by social constraint. In the new morality, weed is smoked everyday, fellow ex-pats must never be trusted and life is planned around “the penis’s whims.”

 Whether adorning the cinema wall, shouting from the world’s largest billboards or peeking from inside a plastic sleeve, movie posters have always been uniquely different in Thailand.

 Today is Election Day and hundreds of thousands of campaign posters stare imploringly at passengers and pedestrians on every street in Bangkok. Only by taking the skytrain can the endless gauntlet of fixed smiles and starched collars be avoided.

 Today, protest power finally toppled Thailand’s square-faced leader, Thaksin Shinawatra. Since February, the eyes of the world had been watching the peaceful protestors as they gathered in their hundreds of thousands. While their political aim is now complete, there is no hiding from the protestors’ other revolution.

 In the last few weeks, hundreds of thousands of people have marched on the streets of Bangkok to protest against Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's alleged corruption. But, before donning the obligatory yellow-and-red bandanas, many of the peaceful protestors reached for their pen, paintbrush and computer mouse.

 Whenever we point a camera lens at clubbers, they come off as either players, poseurs or fall in some gray no-man's land in between. The lucky few will garner affectionate or envious comments in our Party Pics gallery, while others just bury their head and throw away that stupid-ass bandana.

 ‘Pirate Chic’ is going to be BIG next season. Take it from us. But getting the look right is a lot harder than you think. With a number of new trends emerging this season, we asked a number of our maritime models to showcase the biggest trends coming to a soi near you.

 Bangkok's abandoned lots and buildings act as the perfect canvas for the creative-minded. In a race against promotional posters for Michael Bolton's eagerly anticipated World Tour, BangkokRecorder hit the streets in search of endangered street art to preserve and share with you.

 Go to Siam Square on a weekday, and you will be surrounded by its indigenous monochrome mallrats. Clearly, they have come from school, “But where are they all going?” you may have asked yourself. Siam’s trendiest teen hang-outs change every few weeks, so we asked the school kids themselves what’s hip at the moment, and whether they actually like their uniforms.

 Mooching around the streets of Bangkok on your behalf, we decided to snap away at the people with the killer looks, as well as a few that, well, just killed us. Now, while we can just about handle a camera, we remain unqualified to add our own red carpet critique. When it comes to what's considered hip in this city, there's really only one person to consult. Yes, that's right, Bangkok's very own Joan Rivers: the mysterious Professor of Fashion, Brendan Jai.

 Next time you see a group of workers on the street, look again. I promise there will be at least one individual who – against all logic - has customised their uniform and wears it with an attitude that makes them way cooler than you in your predictable, safe code of dress. For these guys, Sukhumvit Road is the catwalk, and we are merely audience members.

 Ahoy, mateys, and welcome to the first installment of our Pirate Gallery. You know, nothing quite detracts from Bangkok's appeal like the armies of middle-aged losers who flock here in search of the chicks they could never score in their native habitats. These so-called 'pirates' have had it coming for a while, so we took it upon ourselves to hit the streets, hunting them down with a zoom lens, and we encourage you to do the same.

 Pirates… (sigh)… don’t you just love to hate them?
You can’t walk between Starbucks without spotting at least fifteen of the scurvy sea-dogs hand-in-arm with some poor concubine a fraction of their size, weight and net worth.

 The following is the first installment in a series of a scientific investigation whose primary purpose is to define “JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE?”
Undeniably, Bangkok street fashion has its own distinctly outrageous ‘flava’. Exactly how do some denizens get it so right, while others are just so painfully wrong?
