Political Art Toys
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/07/2021
» The frustration against the status quo can be expressed in several ways. If you're a hip-hop artist, you can rap and rhyme about it in a viral music video. If you no longer give a damn, you can put a certain uncle on blast in your Facebook post and mention his official page (you know who you are). Even if you're just a bystander, you can't dodge political illustrations and memes on your newsfeed.

Music Is A Weapon
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/04/2021
» Last Friday, singer-songwriter Trai "Boy" Bhumiratna released a song in support of the medical frontliners in the ongoing battle against Covid-19. He later said in a Facebook post that someone had criticised him for not reflecting on the government's shortcomings. He replied, in gist, that music isn't a weapon but is healing and consoling, and he doesn't think of politics with every breath he takes. This didn't sit well with netizens who brought up his past involvement with the PDRC movement that ultimately led to Prayut Chan-o-cha's premiership.

#BehindTheHashtags
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 06/03/2020
» Many student protests that were partly set off by the dissolution of Future Forward Party over the past two weeks has also ushered in new hashtags into the lexicon of Thai social media. At the time of writing, it has been reported that there are 28 hashtags associated with campus protests. Some are humourous while others carry strong political stances and sharp gibes. Whether you agree with these students who've chosen to make their voices heard, it's better to get used to their protest hashtags as more student flashmobs are on their way (but many speculate that the designation of Covid-19 as a dangerous communicable disease may be used as a tool to suppress them). Not to mention, an online campaign calling for people to wear black on Fridays as a symbol to oppose dictatorship began last Friday.

Dude, graab my car!
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/11/2016
» It seems no weeks go by without some talk of the cyber town, the latest being a video in which TV host Acharanat "Nott" Ariyaritwikol went berserk on a motorcyclist over an alleged hit-and-run on his Mini Cooper. He <i>grabbed</i> and dragged the rider by his windbreaker, punched him in the face and told him to graab, or prostrate at, his car. An onlooker shouted at Nott to stop the attack and Nott's friend replied that the driver hit his friend's car and tried to run away as if that justified it. The video was just awful and may cause you to lose faith in humanity a little. I also dread what would happen had Nott driven a Lamborghini.
