1 T-shirt enthusiasts now have the chance to stock up on more hipster designs, as the Cat T-Shirt Festival returns for its third year, cheekily named Cat Three Shirt. Hosted by Cat Radio (formerly Fat Radio), it will be an artist-populated festival, with more than 2,000 new designs being sold, a Cat Walk showcasing outstanding designs, and shows by an endless line-up of artists, including Slur, Polycat, Slot Machine, Paradox, and Gym & Swim. The festival starts today and ends tomorrow at 11pm, with a two-day, 300-baht entrance ticket (sold at 7-11) that also acts as a 300-baht discount card on all T-shirts.
2 Are you a Uniqlo fan but never really liked their T-shirt designs? For the first time, Uniqlo is bringing their UTme! activity to Thailand for customers to design and purchase their own T-shirts at its CentralWorld store. Simply download the UTme mobile application, and with four simple steps, including shaking your phone, you can have your own one-of-a-kind T-shirt (the Uniqlo staff will inform you when the shirt is ready). Special sticker designs from comic artist Tum Wisut, Jay the Rabbit and celebrity Captain Chonlathorn are also available to download until tomorrow. Maybe you don’t have to go to the Cat T-Shirt Festival for cool and unique designs after all.
3 With Thailand’s stifling heat seemingly coming to no end, Starbucks is offering its customers two fresh and exciting blended drinks to cool us down. Inspired by some of the west’s favourite desserts, Roasted Marshmallow S’Mores Frappuccino and Key Lime Pie Frappuccino is available now until June 13. The Roasted Marshmallow S’Mores Frappuccino will bring back campfire memories, with its marshmallow-infused whipped cream, rich-milk chocolate sauce and Starbucks espresso, topped by a layer of graham crackers and crumbles. The Key Lime Pie Frappucino is a zesty cream-blended drink, perfect for subduing the horrible summer heat.
