1. Boonyapha Bencharongkul
WHY HER?
The daughter of telecoms mogul Boonchai, Boonyapha runs the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bangkok. She’s a fervent supporter of Thai artists and works hard to project the country’s art scene onto the international arena.
NATURAL HABITAT: Besides her role at the museum, Boonyapha loves a good party, and she’s often spotted attending—or hosting—Bangkok’s coolest bashes.
