#Change
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 22/04/2016
» If you are a regular Guru reader, you will (hopefully) have noticed a few aesthetic changes in this issue. If you are not a regular Guru reader, well, you've missed out on so much. I'm telling you. So. Much.
Knock on timber
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 18/03/2016
» If you have been out and about in Bangkok in the last few years, it would be safe to say you've laid hands (or bottom) on some of the works of Sutasnan "JJ" Pitakwong, whose designs -- from furniture to gadgets and tools -- can be found at Hyde n Seek, Bad Motel, Rocket Coffee Bar, Sugar Ray and Q&A Bar, to name just a few.

» Would you look at the calendar -- it's almost Songkran! Oh, long holiday, how I have missed you.
#FuneralTalk
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/01/2016
» My grandfather passed away when I was eight, and while I can’t remember much about his funeral, I remember thinking all of my aunties looked a bit odd without their usual make-up and hairdos. They told me they weren’t allowed to dress up while mourning.
Some like it hot
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/12/2015
» I admit that I find it difficult to come up with a way to convince my readers to find the idea of sweating attractive, especially because you are probably already sweating now, during Bangkok's so-called "winter". I mean, haven't we reached maximum sweat allowance just by existing in this climate?
Wrapping things up

» Gift-wrapping can make a big difference to your present, sort of like how clothes can affect your personality. While we're at that simile, putting a nice card on your present would be like adding cool accessories to your look. And we know that looks are (almost) everything these days.
Cracking the code to success
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 24/07/2015
» With so many fashion influencers in Thailand, it is easy to take success stories for granted. We view these people as stylishly dressed individuals who lead charmed lives, but sometimes forget the obstacles and struggles they have faced on the road to success.
#ILovePRPeople
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 03/07/2015
» As a part of my glamorous, coveted job, I am in contact with about 100 PR representatives per day. OK, maybe five, but still. While most of them are pleasant and send me food on a regular basis, I've had my share of traumatising experiences that I can't seem shake out of my pretty head. I'm not just talking about PR people exclusively — the young(er) generation of office workers can also drive office aunties like me up the wall.
It's a family affair
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 05/05/2015
» If there’s anyone who deserves extra pampering, it’s a new mother. She has to feed, rock, soothe, clean, bathe and entertain her baby round the clock, which can leave her feeling fatigued and depressed.
School's not out for summer
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 27/04/2015
» A few decades ago, after-school tutoring was just for children who really needed it — those failing classes and not keeping up with their peers. Summer holidays were spent relaxing at home, helping parents with chores, or doing other non-academic activities.
