Do as I say...

» Being in a public position is a tough job. People expect you to say smart stuff and wield your knowledge responsibly. Even here at Guru we often get accused of defiling "jour-na-lism" (whatever that is) because we often write things based on the voices in our head. Luckily for us, the most we can ever do is ruin your bathroom experience (because we know that's where you're reading this).
Our Thai big brother

» Us Thais have it sorted. The system is working perfectly, there are no social issues of any real note and som tam is more delicious than ever! So how do we do it? How does a super city like Bangkok function so smoothly? Is it due to our impeccable manners? Our low sugar diet? And how come we are the only country in Asia to not have been colonized or affected in any way by the West?
Mix master Mayhem

» It's as easy as ABC to get tipsy in Bangkok. Go to any 7-Eleven and buy a bottle of beer or 100 Pipers. Visit a neighbourhood grocery store (if you can still find one) and pick up a bottle of lao khao. Ya dong stalls can help you numb your senses or obtain magical powers. In fact, sometimes it's harder to stay sober than get drunk living in this city.
