Optimistically dazzling
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/12/2024
» Last Wednesday night, the girls, the gays and their allies came out in shimmering attires, curve-showing dresses, mesh tops, cowboy hats and feather boas. They converged at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani for "Dua Lipa: Radical Optimism Tour — Bangkok", her second performance in Bangkok, following her Thailand debut in 2018 at GMM Live House (now called CentralWorld Live).
Capital By Any Other Name...
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/02/2022
» The Office of the Royal Society (ORST) recently announced the change of the official name of Bangkok to Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, with the former name still being recognised. The change is part of the Prime Minister's Office draft announcement on an updated list names of countries, territories, administrative zones and capitals, proposed by the ORST for the Thai people. The draft was approved by Cabinet, though the new official name will not come into effect as it awaits further vetting by relevant authorities.
Body Autonomy Is No Family Matter
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 05/11/2021
» Last week, a Thai musician got into scorching hot water for sharing pictures and a video clip of him being "affectionate" with his nine-year-old daughter via his Instagram and TikTok. I put the quotation there since the public promptly questioned his social media display of affection towards his daughter, to say the least. Warning, I'm about to describe what he did to show the extent of his actions and you may find it very unpleasant.
Sathon's mini park
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/11/2020
» A short walk into Sathon 12, Hide Park is on the corner that connects the soi to Silom 9. Use Google Maps to see what I mean. You can't really miss it though, as tall bushes and trees that spring out between buildings will definitely catch your eyes. Behind a wrought iron gate lies Hide Park, which occupies an L-shaped land that's filled with greenery, a waterfall and a bar in the back.

For the (curious) records
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/09/2019
» It seems like not a month goes by without Thailand being recognised on a global scale. Recently, Bangkok beat Paris and London as the most visited city in the world for 2018, for the fourth consecutive year, according to a MasterCard ranking. Thailand's capital hosted 22 million overnight travellers. In the midst of the flattering and not-so-flattering world titles Thailand has received, you may not be aware of the times we receive recognition for rather peculiar feats. If your curiosity is piqued, allow me to present the strange/cool world records in the Land of Smiles.
One on one with Eleven
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/06/2019
» A bazillion of suspicious rats. More of Eleven's nose bleeding and superpower. Mike smooching El. Will's ongoing connection to The Upside Down. Something that caused Dustin to go, "Holy Mother of God". A new mall where you have fun and also hide from monsters (as you do). And Billy's mullet. These are just some of the strange things coming to Hawkins in the third season of Stranger Things. (see what I did?)
Subjects for Real-life Use
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 07/12/2018
» Daily News recently reported that King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang has introduced an astrology course for engineering students as a general study subject, which has been well-received by students. The professors involved insist that it isn't about pure superstition as astrology involves statistics, data collection and calculation.
