Who says stars waste their money? In this issue, selected celebrities reject such accusations and demonstrate ways in which they are following the King's sufficiency economy. For example, Thailand's answer to Paris Hilton, Napaporn Phothirattanangkul, says she knows how to save money by mixing and matching items in her wardrobe while singer Saranyoo "Beam' Prachakrit sometimes rides his motorbike to save time and fuel. Pawarisa "Noo Waen" Penchart doesn't always shop in brand-name flagship stores but picks up reasonably priced clothes and home accessories at the city's flea markets.

Then hear from award-winning photographer and ad-maker Anuchai Sricharoonphoothong who's been travelling around the country snapping images of the photos of the King that everyone has in their houses. Anuchai, who grew up in a poor family, says he used to show off his newly acquired wealth but since taking on the photo project has discovered what happiness really is.

Finally meet three famous dads and their children. Carabao frontman Yuenyong "Ad" Ophakul poses with his two pretty daughters, actor-turned-filmmaker Pongpat Wachirabanchong introduces his son, and musician Nakorn Vejsupaporn appears with his talented pianist son Saksit. These superstar dads chat about how they get on with their grown-up children.
