Wake Up And Smell the Durian
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/05/2021
» You know it's summer when boob/moob sweat stains appear on your clothes when you go out for a quick lunch. You know it's summer when khao chae floods your newsfeed and 7-Eleven feels like a sanctuary from the sunlight. You also know the hottest time of the year has arrived when you smell the durian.
The rhythm of self-mastery

» Katsumi Sakakura is a world-renowned Japanese artist/performer known for his spectacular video projection performances. He syncs his martial arts movements perfectly with a projection of Japanese imagery on a screen, delivering adrenaline-pumping performances. His group ORIENTARHYTHM travels around the world to perform at various events and on TV shows but it has been a long journey for Katsumi to get to where he is today. When we learned that his group will fly to Bangkok to perform at the opening of the Asian Football Confederation Annual Awards on Nov 29, we couldn't resist an opportunity to talk to this fascinating man.

When fashion meets philosophy
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/08/2017
» Chardchakaj "Air" Waikawee is a multi-hyphenate who has received international kudos for his photography. Some of you, especially the hipsters, may already know him as the founder/owner of AIRLAB, a photography service which processes films in Sukhumvit Soi 81. He also founded his own production house and creative agency Waikawee, but he came into our radar because of TRULY (fb.com/trulybkk), a clothing brand that he started several months ago. We were so impressed by the thought that went into his unique products which lifts fashion up into something more meaningful.
Flippant reactions
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 09/06/2017
» You know how fun-loving and witty Thais can be. While I don't have issues with making light out of a serious situation, some of us go too far sometimes. The most recent flippant example is how some people have reacted to the ongoing saga of the karaoke girl murder. You probably have had enough of it by now so I won't go into details here.

» If you've pored over newspapers (in a desperate hope to find a story to base your editor's note) as much as I have, you can't help but notice the types of stories that make the front page or your Facebook newsfeed again and again. Here are nine Thailand-only headlines I've noticed from various news outlets on numerous occasions, along with my observations on them. Strictly for your entertainment.

» Besides NSFW content and LMAO memes, pages for online shops have probably caught your eye on your Facebook news feed.

This week, we talk to owners of budding businesses about the secrets to their success, as well as point you toward online marketplaces and tools designed for aspiring entrepreneurs. When you make it big, don't forget to send us a few (preferably expensive) tokens of gratitude!
Funny or flippant?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/03/2014
» Thais are sanook people. We like to have fun and don’t take things too seriously. Although we here at Guru all enjoy off-colour jokes every now and then, there’s a fine line between making light of someone or something and getting a laugh, or doing the same but drawing a big “boo”. This week, we examine five of the most controversial flippant actions that took place in Thailand. Judge for yourself whether they went too far.
Cuteness explosion
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 08/11/2013
» In this land of adults wearing slippers with cartoon heads, taxi drivers decorating their dashboards with dolls, Angry Birds-themed debit cards, and cute mascots representing serious campaigns, it seems Thais have a real soft spot for the adorable. We help you embrace you inner kawaii (and ease any stress brought on by the ongoing political tension) with our selection of so-cute-it’s-sick products.
