Loy Krathong Like It's 2021
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/11/2021
» I don't think you really need to be reminded how ironic Loy Krathong is every year.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/06/2021
» At the risk of sounding nostalgic, I enjoy Googling things from decades gone by (exhibit A: Thai vintage ads in my past editor's notes). The Thai language version of famous Hollywood movie posters is another blast from the past I think is highly underrated, especially if you're a language nerd/film buff.

The Ministry of Science and Technology proposed that the date should observe the importance of the environment and natural resources to people's present and future, and raise awareness on conservation. The Cabinet approved it on Nov 12, 1991. However, what originally inspired the day was a speech by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Dec 4, 1989, in which he showed a great concern for the environment in Thailand.
