#BangkokDriversSyndrome
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015
» I was about a few years short of being able to apply for my driver's license when they announced they would no longer be offering lifelong permits. That means, for the rest of my life, I'm required to visit the Department of Land Transport every five years to renew this little white card that I've never really used — for which I am proud, as it means I've never been flagged down by traffic police!
The message in the rain
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015
» Rain. The word fills Bangkokians with fear, especially in rainy season. It can lead to so many unhappy incidents — horrendous hours-long traffic jams, power outages, fallen trees, floods, rodents on the run or just plain getting soaked from head to toe.
#ILovePRPeople
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 03/07/2015
» As a part of my glamorous, coveted job, I am in contact with about 100 PR representatives per day. OK, maybe five, but still. While most of them are pleasant and send me food on a regular basis, I've had my share of traumatising experiences that I can't seem shake out of my pretty head. I'm not just talking about PR people exclusively — the young(er) generation of office workers can also drive office aunties like me up the wall.

» Eating is so basic and instinctive, yet modern-day crazies have made it oh-so-complicated. It's associated with health, wealth, manners, character, knowledge, karma — the list goes on.

Bringing back the memories
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 26/05/2015
» Nothing reminds me that I'm getting old (so are you, by the way) like seeing how much my former idols have aged, and the chances of realising this cruel fact has been quite high recently here in Bangkok, first with the Backstreet Boys' concert earlier this month, followed by Boyzone's performance on Sunday, soon to be followed by Blue next month. Should I also point out that some of these guys were popular when cassette tapes were still the mainstream medium?
