» Being the geeky, nerdy man-child that I am, I absolutely loved the first season of Netflix's Stranger Things, the original sci-fi horror series released last year. With all its reverence for geek culture, the 1980s aesthetic and excellent cast, Stranger Things was a love letter to everything I loved, and I loved it for that. It was also a masterclass in suspense, a show that knew how to make you desperate to find out what's next at the end of every episode.

» 1. Thursday marks the date of the royal funeral ceremony, the cremation of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Many department stores and convenient stores -- including 7-Eleven -- have come out to announce a temporary cease of operations on that day, in order to encourage all Thai citizens to mourn the loss of their great king. Various government agencies and district offices will also be holding remote ceremonies within their respective areas, to accommodate those who may not be able to travel to the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall, such as the burning of funeral flowers at various temples. You can visit kingrama9.bangkokpost.com (or kingrama9.posttoday.com for Thai site) for details such as dress code and travel recommendations to the ceremony site at Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimol Mangkhalaram, or call your local district office to ask about activities in your local area.

» To be fair, Kingsman: The Golden Circle -- the sequel to 2015's cheeky spy-parody Kingsman: The Secret Service -- manages to deliver on almost everything that made its original a surprise hit. The exaggerated sense of style, zany spy-gadgets and over-the-top fight choreography make their way from the first film, bolstered by an extended all-star cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Halle Berry and Pedro Pascal.

» As any honest Thai person can tell you, Bangkok is a city of dualities. Walk down one street and you'll find the most serene parks, bombastic high-rises and venerable temples. Turn down the wrong soi, however, and you're suddenly in a seedy alleyway filled with drugs, alcohol and questionable "massage parlours".
