O

ccasionally, I get asked whether I prefer to visit the sea or mountains.

This is quite simply an impossible question for me because, personally, I love both. The sea arouses the romance within me, the constant sound of waves kissing the beach paired with the sound of coconut trees swaying with the soft, refreshing sea breeze. I think the coast is the perfect location to express your love, or even propose and have a wonderful beach wedding.

On the other hand, mountains are full of mysteries, from the charm of the mist, to the beauty of flowers blossoming in truly majestic valleys. Mountains, like the sea, are also very romantic, especially during winter, and they are a formidable contender to the sea when it comes to honeymoon destinations.

Winter, the season of romance, is fast approaching, and it is time for many couples to look for a captivating destination for an intimate journey. This edition

6 l 24LIFE M a g a z i n e

of 24 Life Magazine brings you selections of some of the most romantic destinations for lovers and honeymooners. Experience the unique charm of the alluring seas of Hua Hin, Pranburi, Rayong, Phuket, and Trang. We also take you over to Santorini, Greece, to find out why this charismatic island is one of the world’s top wedding and honeymoon destinations.

The romance we bring doesn’t stop at the sea. We also bring you the story of the sweet little city of Pai and also Khao Yai National Park. Both are surrounded by lush mountains and dotted with wonderful resorts.

As is widely known, Thailand was hit by the Ratchaprasong, Bangkok bombing incident, and 24 Life Magazine is deeply sorry for the loss of life. After the incident, the travel industry quickly recovered. Let’s fill the air with love and bring back the sweet atmosphere as we always believe that “Love” is an irresistible force that will bring lasting “Peace” to this world.

偶尔，我也会问我自己是否愿意 去看大海或群山。但这对我个人 来说，很难做出抉择，因为两者 都是我的大爱。大海激起了我内 心的浪漫情怀，那连绵不断亲吻 着沙滩的海浪声，还有那柔软清 爽的海风吹拂着摇曳的椰子树的 呼吸声。我认为海滩是表达爱意 最完美的地点，甚至是求婚和举 办一次浪漫的美妙的海滩婚礼。 另一方面，大山上充满的神秘 感。从魅力的迷雾到在蜿蜒的山 谷间绽放的美丽鲜花。尤其是在 冬季的大山也像大海一样，非常 的浪漫。这让大山成为大海蜜月 目的地最强有力的竞争者。 冬天，浪漫的季节正向我们走 来。许多情侣都在这个时候寻找 着迷人的目的地，一个爱之旅的 时间。我们24Life杂志将精心为 您带来一些专为情侣而准备的浪

Ann Surachatchaikul nn Surachatchaikul is my name and I am originally from A Chiangmai, Thailand. I earned an MBA in the USA , a very

challenging experience in my life. I spent almost 10 years in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Where I worked as an accountant for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO).

Working with the VSO was the most valuable and impressive experience I had while I was living there.

What I treasure most was getting the multi culture experiences and traveling to many famous places in British Columbia.

British Columbia is a place of immense natural beauty which boasts dozens of spectacular places to explore.

Destiny brought me back home in August , 2015 to Chiangmai.

Even though I left my home country for almost 12 years, I still feel that this is my real home, Chiangmai, Thailand. This time I have returned home for good.

Hua Hin where the Sun Kisses the Sea 阳光亲吻大海的地方 — 华欣 Hua Hin, a popular beach town near Bangkok has been described as Thailand’s first vacation town being visited since King Rama 7’s reign.

It started from just a small fisherman’s village named Ban Samor Riang and today it is a major destination for travelers’ vacation time. The seashore at Hua Hin, charming with its white soft sand, stretches from

Hua Hin Beach to Khao Takiab Mountain and Suan Son Pradipat Beach. The atmosphere along the beach is peaceful as low waves repeatedly touch the shore.

Fulfilling the perfect picture of Hua Hin are a nice old town, a fish market, a walking street market and also old -fashioned wooden bungalows perched on the beach which are ideal for your Honeymoon.

华欣是距离曼谷非常近的被称为暹罗第一风景的海滩。能够从最初的一 个小渔村发展成为今天这般受欢迎的旅游胜地，完全是因为它那以淡棕 色沙子为特色的狭长海滩太过有魅力！从华欣一路至筷子山和普拉迪帕 特松园，途中充满静谧的阳光海滩，唯一有的伴乐声是波浪拍打海滩的 声音。这一路上还有古城、鱼市、步行街还有一些复古木制平房，非常 适合和对自己来说特别的人一起来享受甜蜜时光喔！

Pranburi Color of the Calm 静谧的班布里

Maybe the popular Hua Hin beaches are too crowded for you, perhaps you need a little more privacy, then allow us to recommend another top destination for your romantic vacation at Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Just drive down South from Hua Hin for a while and you will find the beach of Pranburi district. The long beach is truly tranquil, perfect for those

wanting some private time.

Have a calm vacation or a trendy wedding on the beach or a sweet honeymoon. Your friends and family will be so envious. The beach at Pranburi never disappoints those who love nature, waves, wind, sunlight. Rows of coconut trees line this beach of love and challenge anyone not to fall deeply fall for it.

假如你觉得华欣地带游客太多太过于热闹的话，那你还可以选择专为 罗曼蒂克的甜蜜假期定制的巴蜀府。驾车向南不远，就可以到达攀武里 海滩，安静至极，最适合需要安静休息的私人度假、举办婚礼或者度蜜 月。无论是谁，到过这里之后都会被这里的大自然、波浪、海风、阳光 和椰影深深迷住。

he winds of winter blow as T if telling couples and travelers alike to lovingly feel the cool

breezes and fog together on the high cliffs of the north. It is not surprising that the mountainous regions in northern Thailand are crowded with people who flock to experience the stunning nature and share romantic times which happen just once a year between November and February.

“Everybody goes to Pai” is a phrase which has been heard for more than 10 years. Pai is a small district in Mae Hong Son province and is surrounded by glorious mountains. The clear water in the river slowly flows through this little town freshening people’s hearts.

The abundance of chic resorts which line the banks of the river are waiting for travelers to visit and relax in. And in the morning, you can take a deep breath of fresh air in the middle of a white mist with your special one beside you.

Pai is an ancient city of The Lanna Kingdom. Its culture is a rich blend of Shan, Vietnamese and Karen tribe. Visitors to Pai experience a way of life of years gone by as if time travel were really possible. When wandering around the local temples, you will find lots of amazing Shan-influenced Buddhist art and architecture. Pagodas, Buddhist statues, wall mounted art, woodcrafts and stained glass decorations have added even more value to this wonderful town driving all to want to know more about it.

Traveling to Pai is a bit difficult as there is no plane transportation.

The only way to get there is to take a car or a bus through hilly mountains on a curvy road with 1,864 curves! From Chiang Mai, you need to take a road to Mae Sariang and drive until you reach Pai. When you reach the city, you will realize that it is worth the journey because of Pai’s beauty, serenity and charm.

A place of true relaxation. For couples who are looking for privacy, Pai is a fine choice.

Indeed, Pai has in the past and continues to be selected as a location for popular Thai romantic movies. “The Letter” and “Rak Jang” were both shot there because of its sweet atmosphere.

日渐变凉的风儿是为了提醒我们，又 到了一年中携爱人亲人到泰国北部感 受凉爽天气和站在高山头上欣赏云海 的好时节了。年末是泰国北部最吸引 各地游客的大好时段，因为这个时候 的 北部有着最令人神往最罗曼蒂克 的自然景观。 位于泰国北部夜丰颂府的拜县就是一 个最典型最受欢迎的景点之一。拜县 坐落于群山间，拜河贯穿整个拜县， 为这座小城带来清凉湿润的空气。 在拜河边上是各类旅馆及精致的度假 村，设想一下假如明媚的清晨在这里 睁开眼，看到青山绿水的大自然呼吸 着新鲜的氧气，多美妙！

拜县作为一个容纳了泰北各族精华的 古老小城，使其散发着独特的古典风 韵。尤其当你走进各种寺庙，无论是 塔、佛像还是里面的装饰，都像是在 讲述着一个个古老神秘的故事。 由于没有机场，只能通过坐汽车和其 他方式到达拜县，加之蜿蜒曲折的山 路延绵不断，使到达拜县变得不那么 轻松。但是当你真正到达之后又会觉 得是那么的值得！它的美丽动人和缓 慢安静是停留休息的最佳选择。对于 想要进行一次难忘浪漫之旅的情侣们 来说，拜县是再好不过的地方，这里 曾是多部在泰国红极一时的浪漫爱情 电影拍摄地。

The absence of tall buildings adds to the charm with old wooden houses standing proudly to be seen. Don’t miss the chic walking street market, it really is a must. Many visitors like to pick up some postcards and write a short message before mailing, both to remember their time and to make others envious.

Every winter, Pai is surrounded by golden terraced rice fields.

Bright yellow Marigold flowers blooming along the road to face the cold make Pai at this period even more lively than ever.

The most romantic activity

to do in Pai is to enjoy the sea of fog view at Yunlai Viewpoint in Santichon village, Yunnan cultural village. It is highly recommended to wait for the first sunlight of the day to shine on the white sea of fog.

Marigolds grow at the viewpoint making this the perfect location to take some photos and swear to your sweetheart your true and everlasting love. The stunning views and low temperatures encourage everyone to share their warmth. Looks like we can’t miss it now! Let’s go to Pai!

这里除了没有高楼大厦，保持着大自 然的原汁原味之外，到了晚上还有许 多别致可爱的步行街。黄昏之后邀上 一堆朋友到这里逛一逛，买一张明信 片写上短短寄语，寄给那个你心中特 别的人。走在街道边总能看到悠悠盛 放的荷花，鲜艳亮丽，把拜县的冬季 装扮得那么生动鲜明！ 到拜县最浪漫的事情就是自驾车到 山顶看云海，最好在第一缕阳光出现 前就到达那里。绝妙的山顶日出加 上漫漫云海，在观景点还有大片的太 阳花作为装饰，还有比这更美的景 色吗？在这里摄影绝对是最正确的 选择，已为你选好了最佳拍照点，而 且这样美丽的景色怎么可能不出好的 摄影作品？还犹豫什么？赶紧在这一 个寒冷的冬季邀上身边的人一起到 拜县来吧！

Out of 1,400 islands in Greece, Santorini is one of the most famous islands for its natural beauty, spectacular landscapes, charming architecture, and lingering romantic air. Santorini sits in the Aegean Sea around 7 hours from Piraeus Port, Athens. The magical island was

once a much bigger island, but the wrath of ancient volcano eruptions and tsunami have taken half of the island. Fira, the capital of Santorini, and Oia are the best cities to experience an unforgettable sunset high on top of the cliffs overlooking the vast blue ocean.

希腊总共有1400多个大大小小的岛 屿，圣托里尼岛是其中里最热门的有 着大自然风景美丽的地方，地形非常 曲折蜿蜒，它的房屋建筑像—个个 小小的箱子，样子很像我们童年的小 玩具，使得这安静美丽的小岛，每一 寸土地都尽显浪漫！希腊人喜欢让自 己纵情在希腊的爱琴海里，比如从雅 典的比雷埃夫斯港开始坐渡船，七个 小时沿途的风景，你会遇见很美妙

神奇的大岛。在古代，这美妙的大 岛，曾经被海啸这类大自然灾害所破 坏过，它的另一半岛已经下陷而逐渐 消失了。非拉的城是圣托里尼的首 都，还包括了侰亚城。在那里，最 浪漫最特别的日落，是你视线能触及 到的最高最远的悬崖边上的风景，远 远的望出去，会看到蔚蓝色静静的海 湾，此刻的感觉，绝对是感叹大自 然的奇迹！

Known to tourists around the world as the “White City of the Aegean Sea”, most buildings on Santorini are painted white with blue domes dotting the town. This style of architecture is called “Cycladic” and the local residences here love to plant lovely colourful flowers to add vibrancy to this romantic honeymoon destination.

圣托里尼被游客们称为“白色之城”，因为整个岛的房屋都盖的一模 一样白色的建造，房子的模样都是正方形，还涂了白白的颜色，为了反 射热量出去，这里最流行盖深色圆顶的屋顶，我们称这种建造“其克拉 迪房屋”。这小岛房屋周围都种了各种各样的花，把房屋修饰的都很清 新，走在路上旅行时会感觉明亮清爽，而且特别适合休假放松身心，所 以，这里还是一个世界上知名的蜜月度假圣地！

Since the island is closed for tourists during winter, the best time to visit Santorini is during Spring and Summer (April to October).

Travelers come here to witness the stunning sunset in Oia where you ought to just find a restaurant, get a table for two, order a bottle of wine, and indulge in the picture perfect sunset scenery. It’s not hard to find a stylish Greek boutique hotel on Santorini, and if you love cats, the island will be just like home as you’ll find them everywhere! So don’t forget to share your love!

最好的时间去圣托里尼旅游是从四月的春天到十月的夏天，冬天基本 上没什么游客。在这小岛最精彩的旅游点，就是去伊亚看日落，约上你 最特别的人，一起找一家浪漫的餐厅，安静的坐着，品着美味的葡萄红 酒，一起欣赏和享受着圆圆落日的风情，看它慢慢地落入海水里，好像 夕阳和大海正在申请的亲吻和拥抱一样，太阳把蔚蓝的天空变成了金黄 色的一片！当暮色渐进，凉凉的天气下，最适合的是，找一个小小可爱 的其克拉迪风格的宾馆，一起感受这温馨暖暖的床，真好！ 喜欢猫的人来到了圣托里尼肯定会非常感觉幸福快乐，因为这小岛的每 个地方都有小猫，不管走到哪儿都会遇到，他们很喜欢依偎着游客们并 且撒娇，猫咪们很想要获得你们的疼爱，倘若你去到这美丽风情的的小 岛，遇见了可爱的它们，请别忘了向它们分享你的关爱哦！

Kueng

Chalermchai Mahagitsiri

halermchai Mahagitsiri or C Kueng is the first son of Prayudh Mahagitsiri, a shareholder

of Nestlé Coffee Factory (Nescafé).

Through their many businesses the Mahagitsiri’s are one of the richest families in Thailand.

Chalermchai finished his bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from Suffolk University, United States then went on to earn his Master’s degree in Economics and Finance from Boston University, United States.

He returned to Thailand and spent time in the entertainment industry. As expected, he then stepped both feet into the business arena to carry on his father’s work.

One of his greatest successes to date is when he took over the stock market listed Thoresen Thai Agencies (TTA).

He successfully lead a loss making enterprise back into profitability.

Kueng took the chair and became an Executive Committee member and the CEO.

64 l 24LIFE M a g a z i n e

He remarkably turned around the crisis at TTA converting the operating loss into an operating profit. By converting TTA which was a cruise line company into a holding company, Keung enabled the company to do various kinds of businesses and thus maintain a net yield.

Fast forward to the present day the company earns income from a wide range of investments. TTA maintains its presence in the transportation industry namely, the dry bulk shipping business, petroleum tanker business, and shipping services businesses. The company also has interests in the energy industry, providing offshore services to the oil and gas industry through Mermaid Maritime Public Company Limited. Other investments cover the coal industry, a logistics business and stock ownership in Unique Mining Services Public Company Limited.

A further interest is in Baconco Company Limited, a remarkable company manufacturing and selling fertilizer in Vietnam.

Baconco is now listed on the Thailand stock market. In addition to this long list of investments, TTA has also put money into Sino Grandness Food Industry Group Limited, a Chinese manufacturer and distributor of juice.

Kueng, the eager young businessman holds true to his father’s words: Study thoroughly and gain the right information before making any decision.

Once investing in something, take good care of it and make it strong and resilient. Investing is like raising a child, one needs to care for him until he has grown up and has a good life.

Kueng says that being a great businessman’s son is very challenging. The obvious benefit is that you get to have a platform to launch from, however; it is quite tiring when you didn’t build the platform yourself as you have to study the work of others. With this in mind Kueng took his time learning his father’s system and processes, remembering what his father had said to him that to earn something is hard but to maintain it is even harder. Kueng’s father taught him many other lessons, such as, to always think hard before doing something, not be scared to make decisions and be able to accept the outcome because everything is an experience. Business is similar to life, there are rights and wrongs in it. All you have to do is to learn them along the way.

Being a businessman is in Kueng’s blood. What he calls his hobby is doing business that he enjoys. He has an entertainment business and arranged a Korean star concert in Thailand, he owns a Japanese noodle (ramen) restaurant and owns a franchise of French Macaron brand Pierre Hermé.

His reason for his investments in the food business is that he is interested in the hospitality industry. When he has a hard day at work, he will come to serve ramen in the evening if he has time. He feels good to see the happy faces of people eating in his restaurant. Similarly when he arranged a concert, he got to see people having fun. He has a good time making gifts for customers at Pierre Hermé shop as well.

ChalermchaiMahagitsir小 Kueng 是PrayudhMahagitsiri的大儿子， 是雀巢咖啡的大股东之一， 也是 在泰国拥有许多其他企业最富有的 家族之一。Kueng从萨福克大学完 成会计及财务学士学位，在美国则 获得了波士顿大学经济金融硕士学 位。他回到泰国后，同时在娱乐圈 和商界踏足，当然同时也继承部分 父亲的工作。 其中他最杰出的一次成功是接 手泰国股票市场机构TTA来恢 复。Kueng做了执行委员会首席执 行官，然后他亲手将TTA由经营亏 损危机转变成了盈利营业。这次变 革使TTA邮轮公司转型为一个持股 公司，所以它可以在各行各业都保 持净收益。 目前，该公司的收入来 源于许多途径包括投资运输业、干 散货航运业务、石油行业以及运输 服务业。该公司还投资能源行业， 通过海上公共有限公司提供石油和 天然气行业的海上服务。在泰国股 票市场，其他一些能算作里程碑 的投资还有别树一帜的挖掘服务公 共有限公司、持有baconco有限公 司的股票还有一个在越南的卓越的 化肥公司。除了这一长串的投资经 典，TTA也把钱投到了中华食品工 业集团有限公司 ，一家中国的果汁 制造和销售公司。 这个充满热情的年轻商人常引用他 父亲的经典名言：在作出决定前， 彻底地进行研究以获得正确的信 息。一旦投资了某一行业，就必须 好好持久地用心经营它。因为投资 的过程就像是养育一个孩子，我们 需要用心照顾他，知道他长大成年 了能够自己拥有自理的生活。 Kueng曾说过，作为一个成功商人 的继承人，想要把家族的商业继承 下来是一件非常具有挑战性的任 务。好的方面是你有了一个好的跳 台，你可以借助它相对轻松地跳起 来，相比较而言，没有平台需要完 全自己去建立会是一件很累的事。 所以，Kueng非常用功地学习他父 亲的经商系统和流程。他的父亲教 他很多让他终生受用的东西，比如 他父亲曾经说过，赚钱的生意很难 拥有但更难的是让它一直赚钱。他 父亲还说，保持努力的思考，不要 害怕做决定后需要接受的结局， 因为无论如何它都是你人生的一种 经历。生意如同生命，有对就会 有错，你唯一能做的就是保持一 直学习。 在Kueng的血液里就拥有做商人的 天分，他所谓的业余爱好就是做他 所喜欢的行业的生意。他经营娱乐 行业，邀请韩国明星到泰国演出， 拥有自己的日本拉面餐厅，拥有法 国马卡龙爱马仕经营权。他涉足 美食行业的原因是，他非常喜欢美 食。在他辛苦工作一天后如果有时 间，他会到餐厅去，他说看到人们 享用美食时的快乐脸孔，他会觉得 非常幸福。在他举办的音乐会上， 看到大家玩得开心他也会觉得非常 开心。同时他也能够随心所欲地在 爱马仕为客户挑选礼物。

Fredrik Wretman 瑞典艺术家访谈：弗雷德里克•弗雷特曼

it Fredrik Wretman down with some S sculptural figurines and a can of light beer, and he’s well and truly in his happy

place. The 61 year-old-Swedish conceptual -to-sculptural artist and Chiang Mai- based traveler shows some pre-eminent and cool bronze in different postures, fun and surprisingly abstract-looking art pieces, amongst a bunch of other budding tools.

We had a chat with him below.

和弗雷德里克•弗雷特曼在一个啤酒桶和一些雕 塑中间坐下，一个属于他自己最快乐的地方。 这个旅居在清迈的61岁的瑞典概念雕塑艺术家 在那些凌乱的工具有趣和冷人惊讶的抽象艺术 作品间处处显示着强势和冷酷的气场。我们就 这样开始了我们间的对话。

Did you grow up with any artistic-related family?

Everybody on my mother side works with the theatre as actors.

My grandmother, grandfather, and mother are all actors. My father was like a food guru of Sweden, he was really creative and he’s like the legendary chef.

He was like the first superstar chef in the movie.

66 l 24LIFE M a g a z i n e

Please describe the space where you do most of your works and all creativity.

In Sweden, my works are created in my homey studio in Stockholm and also in my country house.

In Chiangmai, I would have an idea after being relaxed and meditated .The actual situation when I get inspired or I get ideas can vary. I don’t have a work schedule. I actually work when I have an idea.

Tell us a little bit about your own unique work and your signature style.

I make what pops up in my head. I work on conceptual reflections. I like to make arts for people to think by themselves.

I don’t lead what people think and I won’t tell them “You should think like this and that.”

What does your schedule look like? What do you usually do in every single day?

I have no idea. It’s always different.

I must confess I like to sleep in the morning and prepared myself really late. As the artist, you don’t have any vacation. You have to turn on the thinking mind all the time, but I like to take it easy. But when I’m hooked on something, I’ll do it without any hesitation.

What food, drink, or song inspires you?

What inspires me is quietness.

Silence makes me relax and that inspires some of the best ideas sometimes.

Your favorite or most inspirational place?

Chiang Mai. I love the climate which totally differs from where I came from. The people are friendly and I love the moment when they talked and ideas stayed, some crazy different ideas happened during our conversations. Artists like to show the world the way they see in different angles and that, I think, is very important.

您是从小生长在一个和艺术有关 的家庭吗？ 我母亲的家庭每个人都来自于戏剧 演员。我的奶奶，爷爷，和母亲都 是演员。我父亲是一个瑞典美食专 家，一个非常有创意的传奇大厨， 就像电影里面的超级明星一样。 哪里是您的这些作品和全部创意 的地方？ 我的大部分作品都在我自己老家瑞 典斯德哥尔摩家里的工作室完成。 在清迈的话，大部分想法来源于在 休闲和冥想之后。其实我大部分的 创意和灵感都很多样化。我并没有 固定的工作日程，我工作的时候就 是我创意来的时候。 能告诉我们一些关于您独一无二 地的作品和您专属的风格吗？ 我的作品都是我一些脑子里突发奇 想的东西，一些概念性的映像。我 喜欢做一些作品能引起人们自己思 考的东西，而不是我引领着人们去 思考，或者说是告诉他们你应该这 样或那样的去认为我的作品。

What’s the weirdest idea you have with your works?

And what’s the popular work created by such weird idea?

My big favorite is the foot, Big Foot! It’s crazy in some way, yet it’s really cool. The other one is 0+0=8 which was like a game but visual art also. And my current, but not completed yet, is the fountain in the form of dragon.

I like doing what I’ve never made before and I really love to learn new techniques from new pop-up ideas. I get bored when I feel like I did these particular things before. But if there’s something impossibly challenging, it can drive me to do more.

What can we expect to see more from your works?

99.9% of what I do, you can see in Sweden. I am like a world famous only in Sweden but nowhere else. I have my website but I did not update since 2008 and I am not interested in such process. I mean when I was young it’s important to promote yourself. I am not young anymore and I don’t need people know me everywhere.

你的工作日程是怎样的？你平时 每天都做些什么？ 我不太清楚。日程表一直都是不固 定的。我只能说我喜欢在早晨才睡 觉，然后会很晚才给自己做好一切 准备。作为一个艺术家，你得承认 没有假期这一说。你不得不时时在 思考。但是我自己更喜欢轻松点的 方式，还有就是当我有什么创意的 时候我会毫不犹豫的去做。

在您的作品里面什么是您最特立 独行的创意？哪个是您特立独行的 创意创作的最得意的作品？ 我最爱的是脚，大脚！虽然很疯 狂，但是这特别有型。另外一个 就是0+0=8的像游戏一样的视觉 艺术。而我现在在做的一个作品还 没有完成，一个像龙一样的喷泉。 我喜欢做一些我之前从未做过的东 西，而且我非常热爱从一些脑子里 蹦出来的想法里学习新的技巧。我 很觉得很无聊当我觉得这些东西已 经创作过了，但是如果那里有东西 是值得我区挑战超越的，我会不由 自主的去做这些东西。

有什么食物，饮料或者歌曲带给 您灵感的吗？ 平静才是我的灵感来源。沉默让我 放松，有时候还会带给我一些非常 棒的创意。 您有特别喜欢或者带给您灵感的 地方吗？ 清迈。我喜欢这里的气候，和我的 家乡是一个完全不一样的地方。这 里的人们非常友好，而且我喜欢有 时候我们交谈之后带给我的灵感， 一些非常疯狂的创意就发生在我们 交谈的时候。我认为作为艺术家最 重要的就是你能展示给人们从你这 个角度看到的世界。

您的作品有什么是值得我们期待 去欣赏的呢？ 我创作的百分之九十九的作品，你 都可以在瑞典看到。我看似世界 级出名的大师，其实我只在瑞典比 较出名罢了。我有自己的个人网站 但是从2008年起我就再也没有更 新了，因为我不太喜欢搞这些东西 了。我的意思是我年轻气盛的时候 是为了让自己被认可，但现在我已 经不再年轻了，我不需要让全世界 的人都认可我了。 24LIFE M a g a z i n e l 67
