Getting around social distancing
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/04/2020
» Let's face it, people. We don't go out with a tape measure in our bag (next to a bottle of hand sanitiser, a pair of plastic gloves and a spare face mask) to make sure we all adhere to the recommended six feet of social distancing. Hopefully, we do the best we can in the given circumstances or find a way to protect ourselves even when we aren't sure we're six feet apart from one another. Here are a few real-life examples for your entertainment.
Uniquely Thai Logic
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 17/01/2020
» A school in Pathum Thani was recently exposed for having the controversial policy of gauging the loudness of students singing the national anthem. They were so serious about it that they divided the students into three categories, based on how loud they are: green, yellow and red. If a student is given green, then they pass. Yellow means they have to sing it twice. Red means they have to sing it thrice. WTF, you ask? This idea is supposed to measure how much students love Thailand. The louder they sing, the more patriotic they are. Simple logic. Of course, the school scrapped this unnecessary practice after receiving overwhelmingly negative feedback from the public. Simple logic, too.
