Seize the Deal

If you’re looking to ignore the onset of global warming and fancy a new set of wheels at a knock-down price, then head to the Thai Customs Department on Aug 13. They’re auctioning off all the cars they’ve seized from bad people, from Beetles to Benzes. The bidding starts from B400,000 to B1 million depending on the make. Check out the auctioneer’s website, www.athit-auction.com, for more information on the cars and their conditions.

Many Faces

Joining the long list of new concept condos in the city, Tenface is a boutique hotel in disguise, offering residents urban living in a mythical setting. Inspired by the story of Tossakan, the 10-faced demon, the residential venue also packs in a restaurant, courtesy of Wanara Eatery (see New and Noted) and a nightlife experience with Sita Bar (see On the Bar). Room rates are B9,000 to B20,000 per night. 81 Soi Ruam Rudee 2, Wittayu Rd., 02-695-4242. www.tenfacebangkok.com.
