    #Traffic

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/05/2016

    » How has this week's traffic treated ya, now that the Thai kids are back in school? As a parent who has to endure the heart-tearing stress of being stuck on Sathon Road every morning and afternoon, I think I deserve a trophy for my patience, or a year's supply of Vicodin.

    A traditional tool for the non-traditional

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 17/02/2015

    » Separation is hard on the couple, but it can be even harder on the kids. They are labelled children of "broken homes". They are perceived as "troubled kids". People assume that they don't get enough love and are more inclined to turn out bad. The worst part is that if the society lets such terrible assumptions continue, the kids will start to believe they are true. That can't be a good thing for our society.

    Fashion industry gets a Thai Touch

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/03/2015

    » It is not that the local fashion scene needs a big boost — the industry has grown significantly against all odds over the past decade. But the Department of Industrial Promotion wants to retain that forward momentum.

    #LookThep

    » I was beyond relieved when those creepy lookthep dolls stopped making headlines. It was just too weird seeing people spending obscene money pampering a lifeless doll.

    Fit and fab

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 14/10/2014

    » It's not like TV channels today are devoid of reality shows. In fact, we have so many that the concepts are becoming quite redundant. It took a lot of courage for Fitness First to launch yet another reality TV show in the Asian market.

    #SchoolRules

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 27/05/2016

    » One of the things I hated most about school was lining up in the morning, as one of the teachers went on and on about things that didn't really matter. Or maybe they did -- I wasn't really listening.

    Contained and content

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/04/2016

    » Earlier this week, BMA's Public Works Department announced crackdowns on the illegal use of containers as homes, cafes, restaurants, and flea markets. The online mass panic that ensued, mostly by the owners of such buildings, made me realise one thing -- wow, there are so many of them.

    #Confidence

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 19/02/2016

    » If you went to a Thai school, you know that confidence is something highly discouraged. Confidence can lead to rebellion — or so Thai adults think — and must be suppressed from a young age.

    Some like it hot

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/12/2015

    » I admit that I find it difficult to come up with a way to convince my readers to find the idea of sweating attractive, especially because you are probably already sweating now, during Bangkok's so-called "winter". I mean, haven't we reached maximum sweat allowance just by existing in this climate?

    #PetStory

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/12/2015

    » I am not a pet person. I don’t hate animals, but the idea of being responsible for the life of a creature that cannot tell me what he wants kind of scares me. But by twisted fate, one day my sister brought home a puppy. And then we were stuck with him.
