    The wild old days

    Life, Published on 13/04/2017

    » As people prepare to celebrate Songkran, this year's festival sees a number of stricter road safety rules and regulations -- from the Section 44 edict requiring all car passengers to buckle up to the ban of water-throwing from the back of pickups along major roads and highways. But the spirit of Songkran has always been high -- and wild. Here we take a look at photos from the Bangkok Post's archives to see how Songkran revellers enjoyed the water war in the past with or without harsh traffic rules enforced.

    The 2020 Guru awards

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/01/2020

    » We know it's the last day of January -- and if you weren't aware, it's February tomorrow -- but as a tweet said, we'll consider January the free-trial period and start 2020 properly on the first day of February. A bunch of stuff has already happened, not all of them good, but before we move ahead and put the past behind us, Guru would like to take one last look at the year that was. "The Guru Awards" have been held for the past two years but so much has happened that we decided it would be best to do a full feature in 2019 instead of just a few paragraphs in the Editor's Note. Seeing that the Academy Awards are also coming up, we couldn't think of a better time to give out our snarky, passive-aggressive accolades. So, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome you the 2020 Guru Awards -- no monologues, no opening numbers from Neil Patrick Harris. Just pure unadulterated cynicism.

    Hazed to death

    Published on 26/09/2019

    » Hazing rituals, which are enacted as initiation rites in many schools, can turn viciously violent at times. These “traditional” rites, which trace their origins back to the beginning of the 20 th century in Thailand, usually entail subjecting freshmen to humiliating situations and inflicting various forms of corporal punishment on them, some of which are nothing short of torture.
