Before we go to the moon...
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 18/12/2020
» On Monday, Anek Laothamatas, the minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, revealed that, by the middle of next month, a plan to send a spacecraft into the moon's orbit in seven years from now will be announced. According to him, Thailand will be the fifth Asian country to achieve this extraterrestrial feat, following China, Japan, South Korea and India. Khun Anek added that taxpayers' money will be used to yield tangible results rather than just more research and teaching, at the launch of a project to crowdfund locally-made vaccines against Covid-19 led by Chulalongkorn University.

Budget Rethink?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/04/2017
» Our dear cabinet recently approved a budget to buy 10 made-in-China tanks worth two billion baht while key members also seem keen on a plan proposed by the Royal Thai Navy to buy three submarines worth 36 billion baht. While I'm sure these dear sirs exercised their sound rationale before agreeing to such big purchases for the sake of Thailand's security, IMHO, with utmost respect, I would like to point out that there are other more beneficial ways the money could be used too.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/09/2016
» Pictures of Thai university students dressing up as Adolf Hitler and China's Red Guards were circulated online earlier this week. Apparently, they mimicked these historical figures lightheartedly while doing a Nazi salute during their faculty's activity.

What's in a (vaccine) name?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/07/2021
» While medical professionals and the public are urging the govt to provide mRNA vaccines as the main choice of inoculation to better fight the Covid-19 surge, there are also crazy claims about mRNA vaccines that express doubts over it. These claims are so cray-cray that I've decided to retell them for your entertainment.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: Covid-19 Edition
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/03/2020
» The C-word has us all worried, confused and clean out supermarket shelves. The televised address by PM Prayut Chan-o-cha on Monday didn't help much and the temporary closure of various venues until March 31 certainly does not. A few venues have taken extra measures and have temporarily shut shop, namely theCommons Thonglor, Beam and Demo. I'm pretty sure the list is going to get longer in the coming weeks.

Govt plans that sound like bad ideas
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/02/2020
» Pardon me, dear readers, for the headline betrays my inadequacy in wordsmithery. You see, I put as much effort into coming up with it as the following esteemed people perhaps with their "ideas". It seems you can always count on the government for questionable plans but these three recent examples take the cake. Read on for your entertainment (which may be tinged with hopelessness).

Loy Krathong and Other Thai Ironies
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 03/11/2017
» At the risk of sounding like a party pooper, Loy Krathong always comes across as a very ironic festival. You ask for forgiveness from the water goddess for polluting her all year round by dumping more things in her on one particular night. It's like asking your mum to do an extra big pile of laundry for you on the Mother's Day. Am I right?
