» Hot on the heels of their historic six-day run at Singapore's National Stadium, British rock band Coldplay returned to Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium for two concerts over the weekend, marking their No. 131 and 132 shows in their ongoing sold-out, record-breaking and award-winning "Music Of The Spheres World Tour", which started in March 2022. A lengthy intro but I had to do justice to the world-class act.

A show of strength
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/09/2022
» Over the past few years, American superheroes have dominated the movies in cinemas and series on various streaming services. That is likely to continue since Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe consists of planned releases in 2023 and 2024, while DC Extended Universe also has at least five films to be released next year. Last month, a reboot of the Red Eagle, perhaps Thailand's best-known superhero, was also announced for a planned release in 2024. Guru thinks home-grown heroes need long overdue love from us, so here are some of the memorable ones for your reading pleasure.
Beam me up!
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/08/2019
» Interest in extraterrestrial things (and beings) make a comeback to the Thai collective consciousness, thanks to asteroid 2006 QQ23 flying by and a viral video in which a local man, who claims to be a medium of Pluto God, warns humanity of 2020 doomsday in an alien tongue. This got us thinking about the local interest in UFOs and aliens, and how Thailand is linked to alien stories in a way that you may not be aware of. We aren't saying we believe in Pluto God or trying to convince you one way or another but there are many pieces of evidence (of varying degrees of credibility) of alleged alien visits to the Land Of Smiles and they are too fascinating not to share.
Some cheer-you-up for those days
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 07/09/2018
» Everyone is allowed to have his/her off days. Maybe your presentation isn't as well received as you hoped it would be. You may forget your boss coffee. Or have a major writer's block that won't budge an inch like a traffic congestion on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road during an evening heavy rain (guilty).
