For those not in the know, this game for iOS and Android devices lets you to assume the role of a trainer who goes outside in real life to virtually capture cute monsters in different places with special Poke balls.
Let There Be (En) Light (enment)
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/07/2014
» Some of you may be feeling like you have to give up your weekend bar-hopping since today is Asarnha Bucha Day and tomorrow is Buddhist Lent Day (never thought these holy days would appear on our sin-filled pages, did you?). Instead of giving you tips for being ordained into monkhood or what kind of animal to release to gain the most merit, we want to help you nurture your spirituality with our selection of peace-loving havens that can be found right here in Bangkok. We also have other cool ways to make merit without having to get up super early to give alms to Buddhist monks. May the inner peace be with you.

» Shh! People, I have a secret to tell. I think I've a found a gem buried deep in a quiet soi in Ekamai. I want to share it with you but you have to go there to appreciate it for yourself. This thing is certainly a rare find.

» It was first established as Soi Dog Rescue by a British expat named Sherry Conisbee in October 2002. She brought a new concept in animal welfare to Bangkok - catch, neuter, release [CNR]. CNR is the only proven, humane strategy to bring diseases such as rabies under control, while also helping to reduce the number of stray animals.
Smallroom Big Music
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/02/2012
» Amid the hordes of K-pop clones, 15-minute stars from talent shows, and manufactured pop idols, indie music label Smallroom stands tall for making small players big in the Thai music industry. Gender-bending Gene Kasidit's solo debut Affairs ranges from electro rock to drum 'n' bass and disco, layered with personal verse. Slur has hooked many with their blend of rock and pop. The Richman Toy doesn't play around with their upbeat rock and roll and humorous lyrics. The label will host a free concert to celebrate its 12th anniversary titled "Til These Days" tomorrow (see Shows, P23). We talk to different roomies in the Smallroom to see how the label has enjoyed enduring success.
In the name of love
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/02/2012
» Love is indeed a strange and powerful force. It can make us do crazy things like stare at the phone willing our darling to call for the fifth time of the day. It can make us spend a year's salary impressing our khun noo girlfriend with an LV bag despite an unwavering credit card debt. It can drive us to hide in the bushes behind the object of our affection's house, going through their trash in the hope of finding a lock of their hair to use in a love spell.
