» It's almost time for the moment you didn't even know you were waiting for! This Sunday (Sep 21) is Bangkok Car Free Day 2014. Yes, in a day that will go down in history, every Bangkokian will receive a free car on this most special occasion! Yipee!
Finding a Traf-Fix

» This is the point where I imagine you feign horror and dramatically ask, "But why, oh Buddha, why?!", while you clutch your forehead in your hands. Yes, I like to think I have the ability to inspire such passionate reactions in my dear readers (but in reality, we all know I'm just setting up this column to sound more interesting than it actually is).
Dear newly-elected future Bangkok governor,
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 01/03/2013
» First off, heartiest congratulations on your imminent victory. I'm sure you've got the celebratory champagne ready to pop open... oh wait! I hope you aren't planning on consuming any alcohol till after midnight on voting day, since the rest of Bangkok has had to suffer through a drinking drought all weekend because of your election. You don't want to start your new term by breaking any laws, do you?

» Take a moment to remember how good you feel right now. Isn't it great to have a head that's not pounding, eyes that aren't bloodshot, and not to worry about any drunk dials you made? Alas, that's all about to be a distant memory as the weekend is upon us again. May the force (and your liver) be with you.
Infiltrating a roadside sex stall

» I recently spent a lovely evening strolling through Soi Nasty, which runs parallel to Everything Decent Comes Here to Die Street. I'm sure you guys are familiar with this area, as it's the perfect place to have a blessed family outing, propose marriage to your beloved, or reach enlightenment. In this culturally enriching district friendly strangers yell out to you, polite men grab your hand, generous women offer themselves like sacrificial lambs, and some motorcyclists even swerve to avoid making sidewalk squash out of you.
