» Today marks something important to both womankind and mankind - it's Bikini Day, baby! July 5 commemorates the introduction of the bikini in 1946 by a French automobile engineer/fashion designer named Louis Reard. Your mission for this special day is to celebrate it by wearing a bikini/watching girls in their bikini. Although boobies and booties alone are more than enough to make this our new favourite holiday, we've also decided to research Thailand's history with this two-piece wonder.

» Lakorn, popular Thai TV soap operas, are a national pastime enjoyed by many. Even if you're not a fan, you won't be able to escape them with your friends confessing their love for phra ek (male lead) on Facebook daily, or the recapping of last night's episode at lunch. There's no denying that lakorn are an unshakable part of contemporary Thai culture. Since you can't avoid them, we here at Guru have come up with some lakorn-inspired games that all can enjoy. We have also dug up some unbelievable facts and drama that surround the cultural staple.

» Romance and Valentine's Day usually conjure images of hearts, roses, chocolates, teddy bears, more roses, and all that lovey-dovey stuff. But in Thailand, love can also entail consuming weird stuff in the hopes of pleasing your lover in bed, asking supernatural entities to help you get laid, and carrying explicit-looking charms on your body. We take a look at some bizarre things people do for love in Thailand to get you ready for the upcoming Valentine's Day.
To catch a Thai thief
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 18/01/2013
» We often think the Thai police force suck at their job (but are productive when it comes to gimmicky initiatives such as Ja Choey 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0), but we guess sometimes it doesn't matter because criminals aren't such smart cookies themselves. (That's probably why they chose a life of crime in the first place.) To give police some slack, we've found incidents that show how hilariously some stupid criminals got nabbed by the authorities for your entertainment. Don't do illegal things and/or be this stupid, kids.
