Prohibition Est. 2015

» The problem with the alcohol ban debacle isn’t only the fact that 1) rulemakers haven’t finished eeny-meeny-miny-moe-ing around the actual number of metres away from schools that bars and clubs must be situated or 2) it’s going to send Thailand back to experience for itself the crappiest period of American history. Nor will the ban magically rid Thailand of its violence problems. We’re not taking sides, nor are we sympathetic towards fellow office workers who will have to say goodbye to humpdays and TGIFs after local watering holes are axed. Of course not. What we’re saying, though, is there are other bans we should be thinking about a lot more. And since it’s currently illegal to gather in crowds and hold up placards, we thought we’d present them in Guru instead.
Truth be told

» As Thailand prepares for yet another crackdown, it’s the false adverts this time that are on the chopping block. We’re proud supporters of the big clean-up regime — especially this one that involves the removal of (not so) little white lies that assume we’re all idiots and want ridiculous products like an armpit whitener.
The campaigns

» Recently, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha issued a 23-page policy statement on how he intends to get this country back on its feet. Of course, we’re not one to criticise his foolproof plans, nor suggest that he should come up with another song, this time collaborating with popular artists like Thaitanium or Joey Boy to keep the young’uns from switching radio stations every time the tune comes on. Instead, Guru enlists the help of aspiring change-makers from different industries to come up with their own political campaigns of what improvements they’d like to see, what laws should be implemented and even the lyrics to their own songs; so if the present and future PMs ever run out of ideas, they’ll know where to look.
