The "difficult" life of Bangkokians
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 06/03/2015
» Gosh, what a terribly hard week it has been! First there was the holiday on Wednesday, which probably threw off your whole schedule and made you wake up in a panic thinking you had to go to work. (Kudos to those of you who cunningly managed to score Thursday and Friday off too!)
Four behaviours that need to stop now
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 30/01/2015
» I don't fool myself into believing that anything I write in this space will transform an entire country. Of course, I'm not trying to start any revolutions here. All I've ever wanted is for certain people to stop annoying me with their bothersome behaviours. I don't think that's too much to ask, is it?

Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 26/12/2014
» Well, Guru has somehow made it to our last issue of 2014.

» 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!
Cutting the (cable) cord
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 15/08/2014
» It was just a regular day at work, and I was counting down the minutes until happy hour (also known as every Monday to Friday). When the clock on my computer screen read 5pm, I let out a high-pitched "Yipee!", grabbed my purse, and flashed an in-your-face look to Guru's overworked writers (it's good being the boss).
Chillin’ in style
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 11/07/2014
» It’s Asarnha Bucha Day today (Jul 11) followed by Khao Phansa Day tomorrow, which marks the start of the Buddhist Lent period. However, these days are probably better known to you as “Yippee, it’s a long weekend!”

Put your best selfie forward
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 14/02/2014
