Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/09/2012
» Bicycle-friendly Bangkok sounds like an oxymoron given how inhospitable the city's streets are.

And in case you want to become a part of this healthy cycle of change, here's our round-up of basic aspects of bicycling in the city you need to know.

» While we here at Guru mostly use Facebook to look at sexy pictures of hot strangers, and access Twitter to follow Lady Gaga, many social-conscious organisations and individuals have tapped into the power of social media to promote their causes and invite people to join their activities.

» I've been to Chiang Mai three times in my life. And while there are so many things to remember the province by - the nice weather, the low-roof song taew, finding Guru at All Seasons Chiang Mai, crowded but colourful walking streets, that media-whore of a panda, that vendor guy who scoops up sizzling fried chicken with his bare hands, and that guy who handed me his name card and told me he could procure young girls for my pleasure - the one aspect that stood out the most is the food. (Possibly because I'm fat).

» Not everything is what it seems when it comes to defining someone by their occupation. For example, Itthipat Kulapongvanich made some serious cash by selling online game items before he became the CEO of seaweed enterprise Taokaenoi. Pleum Leekpai is the energetic, funny and politically incorrect co-host of TV show VRZO but he also wore a tie and looked professional during his time as an assistant to a Ministry of Culture spokesperson. And even Superman works as a reporter named Clark Kent when he isn't fighting villains and saving the world.

» When you inevitably get fed up with working for "the man", the idea of being your own boss sounds appealing. But just like every young person dreams of owning their own bar, only to realise their friends will drink away their profits, does the reality of starting your own business match the dream? We've found four people who decided to pursue their passions and are currently at different stages of their entrepreneurship. Their stories may give you some ideas on how to take the plunge and run your own business (as you possibly achieve financial freedom).
The rice bran man
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/03/2012
» My dad was determined to build a plant that added value to Thailand's agricultural commodities, especially rice bran. However he unexpectedly died two months after starting it and, at that time, he had borrowed a large sum of money. His death brought us not only grief but also set off a crisis of confidence among the company's stakeholders.
