#PlasticBeauty
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/03/2016
» I was recently at a hospital visiting a friend. This particular hospital is famous for cosmetic surgery, so much so that I admit I was at first a little surprised my friend said she gave birth to her baby there.
#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.
#KeepOnFearing
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 30/10/2015
» We all had a lot of silly fears as a kid -- clowns, dogs, vegetables, certain relatives and even our own toys. As we grew up, most of those childish fears melted away, replaced by new, equally silly ones. Somehow, at age 30, we end up the same big scaredy cat we were as a five-year-old.

» About a week ago, I told my friend I didn't ever want my kid to grow up. She agreed, saying it's probably irresponsible to bring a new life into this kind of world. Our reasons were simple -- the ever-worsening traffic, people's deceitfulness, cruel climate change and just the struggle of life in general. Try getting through Friday evening traffic on payday when it rains on Sukhumvit Road -- you'll see what I mean. Or read this issue's cover story, which pretty much sums it up.

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.
Permanent scars of violence
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 27/01/2015
» It can be said that no one else in the world could ever love a child more than the parents. While that statement is usually true, on the flip side of the coin, it is often the child's own parents who inflict the greatest pain through acts of violence. After all, it always hurts more to be hurt by someone near and dear to you.
