What’s your favourite hobby?
We bet a lot of you didn’t think of horse riding. But for Jyotika and Rashmika Khanijou, the sport is no longer just
a recreational pursuit. The two sisters fell in love with riding and can’t imagine their lives without it. The sheer thrill of
getting onto the magnificent four-legged creature and mastering their equestrian skills is what they look forward to
almost every day. Tune into our exclusive cover story, ‘Horsin’ Around’ (page 14) for a special scoop on their newfound
lifestyle.
Another passionate endeavour is entrepreneurship, and in this issue, you’ll meet a young go-getter who strives for Masala Magazine
success in the coffee industry. Rapheepong Ghai’s new business, Cool Bro, aims to capture the trendy concept of ‘grab
and go’ that is tailored to fit with the fast-paced lifestyle of Bangkok society. Read more about his journey in our exciting EdITORIAL & AdvERTIsINg OFFICE
In Focus feature, ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee’, (page 26). Don’t forget to flip through other articles as well, as we bring 85/3 Sukhumvit Soi 12, Klongtoey,
