The Journey of a Thai Fashion Blogger

Back in my hometown, Bangkok, Thailand, the land of smile. Nothing is better than chilling at your own house surrounded by people you love, isn't it? Several times, when people ask me how the fashion blogging scene in Bangkok is like? And why I have decided to take the journey, aiming to international audiences? The truth is, the blogging industry here is very small, unless you've got whitening skin, big eye contact lens, V-shaped face, that's probably how others would adore you. Forget about the weird hair color such as Lilac, grey, green like in the UK, they are going to think that you are weird. Street style is not the big scene, mostly celebrities endorsement and luxury brands. Well, typical Asian style...

BREAKING THE RULES TO MAKE IT BIG

I have never let the attitude or whatever the society has expected discourages me (never ever!) I am so far from the word pretty or beautiful because people here love Korean or Japanese kinda type, so in order to make it a success in my fashion blogging career, I have gotta break every f*** rule as long as I want to grow myself. I still remember when some brands refused to let me review the stores because I was just a random, uninteresting blogger with no social status, it didn't even affect me at all. Thanks to them, because I am a stronger person. I knew how it was going to turn at in the beginner, yet I have made up my mind to fight for it. 

I was working with the Fashion Studio Magazine as a fashion writer/assistant, attended a lot of fashion events, and that's how I got myself in. Well, basically I knew how to contact the PR or organizer, thanks to the art director Eva Fydrych who taught me and allowed me to be a part of this fashion world. After I quit from the online magazine, that's when I have started to take it seriously. "GO BIG OR GO HOME" 

FROM LONDON FASHION WEEK VOLUNTEER TO WORK WITH ADIDAS NEO

I was crazy enough to get myself a flight ticket to London Fashion Week in 2013 (volunteer ). It was the very first step that opened my two eyes on how the real fashion's like. I was a volunteer, doing nothing but walking around, and seating the guests. For a second, thought I looked like an idiot to be there, but the show must go on lol. 

I have got the experience from LFW now right? That's not enough, I have tried every way to fit myself in, though I have met both good and bad people along the road (that's really normal) I have written for some online retailers, as well as, magazines, being a guest writer, accepting the free offer just to get the collaboration, basically I have tried it all. Let me tell you this, if you really want to make it, you need to put 100% in this blogosphere. There are a lot of competitors out there, but as you know I am not competing with anyone, so I don't really feel anxious, or jealous that much. This is your road, and you can do it! Strong mindset is very crucial, especially the can-do attitude. 

I have set myself not to have a full-time job and go with it because if I fail now, I still have that energy to get back up. All, I have been thinking is, I am not going to wait until I am 50 year-old to make shit happen. If I want it, I will do it 'now' As far as I remember, I have worked with a lot of brands, and designers, even Adidas NEO. 

You can see me as an example that you don't need to be rich, or expose your boobbies to the public, you can do it. It's normal to feel like giving up, but don't hang in there for too long. Start with your hands, and use your brain, while work the body to pose in front of the camera, I believe in you that you CAN.
