ISSUE 71 (SEPTEMBER- OCTOBER 2026)
After what felt like one unrelenting storm after
another, Thai people finally had something to
celebrate. Nene Royal took the world of rock music
and casual music fans alike – by storm when she dazzled with
a display of virtuoso guitar playing, winning over judges and
audiences worldwide on America’s Got Talent. Then, the Thai
women’s volleyball team swept every match in the tournament,
going on to claim the 2026 Asian Championship title in China
and securing an automatic berth in the 2028 Olympic Games.
Their paths couldn’t be more different, but one thing they
share is a clarity of purpose so strong that every moment of
every day is shaped by careful planning and intention. This is
what it means to live with purpose. It’s the inspiration behind
this issue’s theme: Living with Intention.
Discover the story of how Nene’s audition, just a few
minutes of performance, managed to send shockwaves across
the globe. Then, let’s head for some downtime in Montreux
and Gruyères, Switzerland; lesser-known towns steeped in
old-world charm and blessed with scenery that rivals anywhere
else. But if what you’re after is slow living that goes beyond
simply sitting back and switching off, we invite you to detox
both mind and body at The Soul, a resort nestled in the green
valley of Saraburi province.
We hope this issue sends you off with some good energy,
ready to live with intention alongside us.
