    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/09/2022

    » Over the past few years, American superheroes have dominated the movies in cinemas and series on various streaming services.

Guru thinks home-grown heroes need long overdue love from us, so here are some of the memorable ones for your reading pleasure.

    Politicisation of running in Thailand

    News, Published on 17/01/2020

    » Never before has the sport of running become so politicised in Thailand.

While running has become a popular sporting medium for social causes and business-related outings over the past two decades, its new role as an outlet for political expression is attributable to Thailand's pervasive and entrenching repression. The anti-Prayut run was matched by a pro-Prayut "walk to cheer uncle", as the elderly prime minister is also known by his nickname as "Uncle Tu", highlighting Thailand's longstanding polarisation and portends tension and confrontation that could spell more trouble ahead without some kind of compromise and mutual accommodation.
