Not the news

» We think we aren’t the only ones who have been glued to our smartphone screens of late, following updates regarding #BangkokShutdown on Twitter and whatnot. Amid the cascade of information and misinformation, one item caught our attention, like a crystal-encrusted golden whistle under the midday light. It was an item about nightlife giant Ku De Ta closing its doors after a series of “bad circumstances” over the past few months that were bad for business with the shutdown being the last straw.
Recapping 2013

» New Year’s is time to look back at what has happened during the year that is about to pass. The media usually takes this opportunity to do a round-up of memorable moments. As an esteemed publication ourselves, we decided to do our very own recapping of 2013 (and because we’re too lazy to go out and find new stories). The year hasn’t been a thoroughly smooth ride but we were certainly never bored. Bye-bye, 2013!

» This year’s Halloween falls on Thursday (Oct 31), and we have already been celebrating by sending LINE Halloween stickers to friends for weeks now. Such antics have gotten us thinking about certain scary beings that have become synonymous with the day. For our own entertainment (and hopefully yours too), we compare six well-known Thai ghosts based on six criteria to find the ultimate mascot for Thai Halloween. Use our picks to inspire your costume, or just continue to be amused by the local fascination with spirits.

» The usage of Facebook in Thailand is getting stranger by the minute, it seems. Besides posting pictures of unfortunate people asking for "likes" to show "support", or scared entities promising auspiciousness to followers, some individuals have set up Facebook pages to promote things you wouldn’t think merit a Facebook following. We’ve selected 10 such pages in case you want to grow up one day and become a page administrator to promote something niche like your collection of belly-button lint (or dandruff collecting). Go ahead since you’ll probably find more followers than you think, like these strange Facebook pages.
