Culinary crash course
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/12/2019
» I remember back when no kids would say they wanted to grow up and become a chef. Fast forward to the present day when becoming a chef has become a career of choice (with a side of celebrity) for many. Whether you aspire to be an Iron Chef, Masterchef, Top Chef, executive chef of a five-star hotel, chef-patron of a Michelin-starred restaurant (or just a better home cook), you can kick-start your culinary journey at Dusit Thani College.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/08/2022
» Last week, well-known Thai actress Laila Boonyasak said she no longer want to star in lakorns (Thai soap operas), which often depict catfights, as she says it encourages people to be brash and doesn't provide anything of value to society. She then brought up the noted Netflix Korean drama The World Of The Married Couple (which is titled A World Of Married Couple on Viu), which is getting a Thai remake with handsome Ananda Everingham (who's officially off the market) as the male lead, as examples of her preferred roles.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 07/01/2022
» Thailand's English proficiency is on the decline for the third consecutive year, according to a global survey conducted by Education First.

Thailand is No.100, being the lowest ranking country in Southeast Asia. In 2020, we were at 89 and in 2019, we were at 74. Not so promising.

Cooking with a mission
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/12/2017
» Sustainability isn't a gimmick at Haoma restaurant (fb.com/HaomaBKK) on Sukhumvit 31. The new restaurant by Deepanker "chef DK" Khosla is tucked deep in the soi, but it's worth the effort to get there if you want to try fresh flavours that are picked out of its mini farm. Although we didn't get to do a proper review, judging from a couple of dishes we had, we wouldn't be surprised if Haoma would be in the next edition of The Michelin Guide Bangkok. We spoke to the 28-year-old chef-proprietor about his culinary journey and his green ambition.

What's in a nickname?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/09/2016
» Earlier this month, New Zealand Herald reported that Thai students were asked to adopt new nicknames for "smoother cultural integration" in New Zealand.
