ART4D PROVES BILINGUAL MAGS CAN WORK
Art4d magazine is an extremely good architecture, art and design magazine. It's been around for a while but just recently I grabbed a copy for the first time.
The magazine is bilingual (Thai and English) and for a mere 50 baht it's extremely good value for money. It has the look and feel of a 'Western' magazine and is pretty well advertised in its 92 pages.
Last months edition - which is still available in places - contained a really informative and interesting feature on the redesign of popular Thai women's magazine Dichan and how the publisher went about the process of choosing a new font type.
If you're even remotely interested in the topics of art and design I'd say this magazine is a must, but even if you're not I'd suggest having a look because it's a really good example of how a bilingual magazine can work really well.

It's good to know that this mag is still running. It was one of my favourites.
Hi 'Pong,
Thanks for your comment. Judging from advertising alone (and assuming it's being sold at a decent rate) I'd say it's going to be around for a while. I also think 50 baht is an absolute bargain. They could charge 100 baht easily and it would still be value for money.
Yes, this is one of my favourite Thai magazines.
Mat.
