In Thailand, freestyle BMX riding is a niche sport. Despite there not being many skillful riders in the Land of Smiles, a young Thai rider recently won the world champion title.

Time's up

Ten to Twelve are a band that's poised for success. The group - 24-year-old vocalist Vasuthon Kriangpratakit (Mor), 24-year-old bassist Charnchai Chitpatanapaibul (Ahu), 28-year-old guitarist Torsak Tanjasutarak (Tor) and 24-year-old drummer Pongpon Chongwatpon (Mond) - don't quite know how to describe their unique brand of rock, but they know that their main motive is to have fun.

Musical muscle

Aside from catchy music, image plays a major part in the commercial pop scene. That must have been on the mind of diminutive singer Jarupong Kluaymai-Ngarm (Jack), who recently reappeared with his second album and a muscular new look. Jack shows off his new-found masculinity in the video for his latest single, "Out of Control," which is full of energetic dance moves and powerful singing.

Pleasing pop

When SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong dramatically left the group, he embarked on a solo career. Break Down is his first mini album, made with the help of producer and songwriter Steven Lee, known for his production work with TVXQ and Girls' generation.
