Sam yan's secret chamber
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/09/2012
» There's a door that opens to a mysterious place called Secret Chamber. It is hidden in plain sight in Sam Yan. But, unlike Hogwarts, which requires you to be born with magical aptitude to enter, all you need to do is hop on the MRT and get off at Sam Yan station to get into this place.
Draw Something

» While most of us have outgrown the "draw-on-the-wall-and-get-yelled-at" phase, Jirachai "Keng" Taweesarn is still there. The 27-year-old turned his family's house into a gallery of nightmarish cartoonish monsters, and he didn't stop there. Keng has drawn on everything from a toilet seat to a motorcycle, a water cooler, his own body and more.
School of life

» You don't have to be a Valedictorian to realise that the Thai education system is in shambles. If you just spent five minutes memorising the previous sentence, then chances are you may be a product of local education. But although experienced teachers and (apparently) tablet PCs are important to shape future generations, we think that our schools could fare better if they focused on subjects that are essential for Thais.
Off the beaten track
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 17/02/2012
» There are certain must-see attractions for first-time visitors to Thailand: Patpong, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Khao San Road, an elephant show, ladyboy cabaret, Hua Hin, a Full Moon party, some more beaches... But with all this distraction, visitors might miss out on the atypical attractions your average tour guide doesn't know about. To do our part in promoting the miracle that is Thai tourism, we have selected five lesser-known villages where visitors can discover Thais living in unique ways.
Urban picnic
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/02/2012
» Dining among nature in the centre of Bangkok isn't the stuff of fairytales anymore. No longer do you have to experience the tragedy of attempting a picnic lunch at Lumpini Park, and being attacked by pigeons, turtles and monitor lizards in the process. Break free from the shackles of a faux-flora-and-fauna joint, where views of the concrete jungle loom like a dark shadow.
