Wonderfruit 2025: dates, ticket prices and everything you need to know
Once a fleeting five-day escape in December, Wonderfruit has steadily grown into something far less seasonal and far more structural. What began as a festival of art, music, food and ideas now finds itself maturing – ten years on – not just in scale but in sensibility. Returning this year fo its 10th anniversary, it doesn't so much arrive as it expands, evolving from an annual gathering into a full-bodied cultural platform that stretches beyond its original five-day frame. This year, the language has shifted. Wonderfruit is no longer content with being a destination on the calendar; it's positioning itself as a continuous conversation, one that unfolds throughout the year in various forms – installations, workshops, residencies and quiet provocations. Looking forward to this year's music spectacle in Thailand? Here's everything you need to know about Wonderfruit 2025, including set times, ticket prices and travel details. When and where is Wonderfruit? Wonderfruit returns for its tenth year from December 11-15 at Siam Country Club in Pattaya, Chonburi.

Is Nvidia Stock (NVDA) Just Getting Started? Amazon's AI Spending Ignites Fresh Chip Rally
Nvidia's stock (NVDA) climbed again Friday after Amazon confirmed it's not slowing down on AI. With over $24 billion in Q1 capital expenditure and plans to hit $100 billion this year, Amazon's (AMZN) push into infrastructure is fueling more than just cloud ambitions—it's lighting a fire under the global semiconductor trade. Protect Your Portfolio Against Market Uncertainty Amazon's CapEx Surge Signals Real AI Commitment Amazon's Q1 report confirmed what markets hoped: AI is still priority number one. Capital expenditure jumped to $24.3 billion—up 75% from last year—and executives said the bulk of that is heading to AWS and AI-related buildouts. That includes chips like Amazon's own Trainium, but also massive outlays on infrastructure to run large language models and AI services. Why does this matter for Nvidia? Because even with Amazon designing custom chips, it still relies heavily on Nvidia GPUs for training and inference. Nvidia's H100 and soon-to-launch B100 chips remain the most sought-after in hyperscale training environments. In short, custom silicon may complement, but not replace, Nvidia's dominance. AI Spending Is Global Infrastructure Spending This isn't just a tech story—it's a macroeconomic one. Spending on AI infrastructure is becoming the new arms race among global tech titans, and Nvidia is at the heart of the supply chain. Analysts now view AI capex as the modern equivalent of digital industrial investment: it shapes trade flows, capital markets, and even geopolitical strategy. The $100B Amazon budget mirrors moves from Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META), both of whom also pledged this week to increase AI infrastructure investment. As this spending moves downstream, it drives global demand for high-end semiconductors, memory, data center power capacity, and cooling technologies. Confidence Returns to Growth Tech The recent surge in capex reverses fears from last month, when rumors suggested Amazon was dialing back on AI investments. That narrative has now been torched. With confirmation that hyperscalers remain committed, Nvidia's valuation is once again underpinned by actual multi-year demand forecasts—not just hype. Investor confidence is also being reinforced by broader tech earnings beats, cooling inflation expectations, and signs of stable U.S. growth. Nvidia's gain of 2.5% Thursday and another 0.8% premarket Friday signals strong appetite for risk-on AI plays heading into the summer. Nvidia isn't the only one benefiting. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rose 0.7%, and Broadcom (AVGO) gained 0.9% in premarket as investors bet on broader supply chain tailwinds. Meanwhile, Taiwan and South Korea—home to key foundries—are seeing renewed demand signals. U.S.-China tensions over chips remain a variable risk, with potential to disrupt supply chains or shift trade dynamics, but for now, the west's AI push is tightening trade routes toward friendly manufacturing zones. Is NVDA Stock Still a Buy? Wall Street is still all-in on Nvidia. According to TipRanks, 41 analysts currently cover the stock, with an overwhelming 35 rating it a Buy, just 5 calling it a Hold, and only one tagging it a Sell—giving Nvidia a clear Strong Buy consensus. The average 12-month NVDA price target sits at $165.22—implying a 48% upside from current levels—while the most bullish analysts see it hitting $200. That level of consensus isn't just rare, it's a signal: investors view Nvidia as the key beneficiary of the AI arms race. See more NVDA analyst ratings

Meet the Thai resort wear you'll never take off
So, what exactly is resort wear? Originally crafted for jet-setters escaping chilly winters for warm, sunny escapes, it's now more than a seasonal trend. In sun-drenched countries like Thailand, it's become an everyday essential – tailored for those who embrace year-round heat with style. Forget formalwear. Resort wear is about living comfortably while looking effortlessly chic, 365 days a year. One Thai brand leading the charge is PARISSARA, founded by the eponymous Parissara Na Phatthalung. Her brand redefines resort wear with a focus on sustainability, cultural heritage, and modern elegance. 'Resort wear now plays a central role in storytelling, helping guests feel immersed in the identity of the destination,' Parissara shares. Unlike global trendsetters like Zimmermann and Johanna Ortiz, PARISSARA's designs are rooted in quiet confidence, celebrating the connection between fabric and wearer. Using natural fibres, recycled materials, and eco-friendly techniques, the brand's pieces are as thoughtful as they are beautiful. Each item tells a story of Thai craftsmanship, from handwoven cotton and silk to accessories crafted from water hyacinth. Paris's passion for preserving Thai traditions runs deep. During her research, she met an elderly weaver earning just B100 for a full day's work – an encounter that sparked her mission to honor and reimagine these fading crafts. For her, resort wear isn't just fashion; it's a way to keep cultural heritage alive while making it relevant for today. One standout moment for PARISSARA was its collaboration with The Villas at Kimpton Kitalay Samui, a luxurious five-star hotel designed for wellness and tranquility. Together, they created Whisper of the Waves, a bespoke resort collection featuring hand-dyed robes, woven sandals, and artisanal bags. Every piece reflects the textures and colours of Thailand's islands, crafted by skilled artisans from the country's North and Northeast. Guests can even experience the collection during their stay – imagine wearing a piece of paradise and taking those memories home with you! Resort wear is more than just clothes – it's a feeling, a memory made tangible. As Parissara puts it, 'The fabric, the flow, the sensation – it's something you want to take home. It's not just a product; it's an experience. With plans to expand into refined tailoring, elevated loungewear, and nature-inspired accessories, PARISSARA is shaping the future of resort wear. It's a style that embraces comfort, quality, and heritage – a celebration of the beauty found in slowing down and savouring life.

Nvidia stock drops ahead of earnings as investors weigh potential Trump export rules, Blackwell delays
Nvidia (NVDA) stock continued its recent slide on Tuesday as investors weighed potential delays in the ramp-up of its AI Blackwell chips and a report of possible new export rules from the Trump administration. The stock dropped over 2% early Tuesday after Bloomberg News reported late Monday night that the Trump administration is looking to further tighten US export rules on the chip sector in an effort to restrict China's advancement in the AI space. Trump is looking to sanction specific Chinese companies and further restrict international companies from maintaining semiconductor gear in the country, Bloomberg reported. The news comes more than a month after Chinese firm DeepSeek introduced new, cost-efficient AI models that rocked US markets. Over the last five trading days, Nvidia stock has lost over 9%, a decline that comes ahead of the chipmaker's fourth quarter earnings report scheduled for Wednesday after the bell. Nvidia stock dropped 4% Friday and an additional 3% Monday as macroeconomic uncertainty surrounding Trump's trade policies stoked fears of inflation and drove down major stock indexes. Another challenge for Nvidia investors ahead of the report came in a note to investors on Monday from Evercore ISI analyst Mark Lipacis, who suggested Nvidia's ramp-up of its latest Blackwell AI chips could be delayed. 'Our checks suggested Blackwell ramp [was] pushed to mid 2025 from 1H25 [the first half of 2025]," he wrote. Lipacis added, 'We believe some hyperscalers will likely push some purchases from NVDA, however many noted demand for NVDA GPUs [graphics processing units, or AI chips] still outstrips supply, and absent B100 [Blackwell] availability, NVDA's current solution, H100 would be purchased instead.' Lipacis maintained his Buy rating on the stock. Nvidia did not immediately respond to Yahoo Finance's request for comment. Nvidia's Blackwell chips have faced overheating issues and glitches. The Information reported in December that some of Nvidia's top customers — Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), and Meta (META) — had cut orders of its Blackwell products due to those issues. Those four customers alone purchased an estimated $44 billion worth of Nvidia GPUs in the 2024 calendar year, according to a DA Davidson analysis. Still, Wall Street analysts maintained their bullish outlooks on the stock ahead of its fourth quarter earnings call Wednesday, despite concerns related to export controls, DeepSeek, and delays of its Blackwell chips. DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria said commentary on Blackwell delays should be taken 'with a grain of salt.' 'Since there is so much excess demand for Blackwell, NVIDIA is rationing orders which may seem like a delay in production even if it is not,' he told Yahoo Finance in an email. Luria holds a Neutral rating and $135 price target on Nvidia stock. Truist Securities' William Stein also addressed the Blackwell concerns in a note to investors late Monday: 'Since NVDA announced Blackwell at its 2024 GTC event, our contacts have been talking about volume shipments as if they were always right around the corner, waiting for a yield improvement or a design challenge to be addressed.' Stein added: 'NVDA is still the AI leader and the one to own.' For Nvidia's fourth quarter, analysts expect the chipmaker to report adjusted earnings per share rising roughly 64% from the prior year to $0.84 and revenue jumping 73% to $38.2 billion.
