#Traffic
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/05/2016
» How has this week's traffic treated ya, now that the Thai kids are back in school? As a parent who has to endure the heart-tearing stress of being stuck on Sathon Road every morning and afternoon, I think I deserve a trophy for my patience, or a year's supply of Vicodin.
#LookThep
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 06/05/2016
» I was beyond relieved when those creepy lookthep dolls stopped making headlines. It was just too weird seeing people spending obscene money pampering a lifeless doll.
#Heat
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/04/2016
» I never see the point of saying something obvious -- it's a waste of time, like saying today is Friday. What good does it do? Nada. But how can one not talk about this extreme heat we're living with?
Heart and sole
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 22/02/2019
» For men with a soft spot for high-quality shoes, stepping into Winston Maison, despite its compact space, is a stroll in wonderland. Buttery soft suede loafers, gleaming Oxfords and dapper derbies line the walls of the olive green and oak haven, begging to be touched, worn and owned.
#PublicTransport
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 24/06/2016
» I grew up taking the bus on a regular basis. My school was walking distance from my home, but on lazy days, I would just hop on the bus and save myself maybe five minutes in doing so.
#FuneralTalk
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/01/2016
» My grandfather passed away when I was eight, and while I can’t remember much about his funeral, I remember thinking all of my aunties looked a bit odd without their usual make-up and hairdos. They told me they weren’t allowed to dress up while mourning.
#PetStory
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/12/2015
» I am not a pet person. I don’t hate animals, but the idea of being responsible for the life of a creature that cannot tell me what he wants kind of scares me. But by twisted fate, one day my sister brought home a puppy. And then we were stuck with him.
#MakingMerit #FakingMerit
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 06/11/2015
» As 2016 approaches, the mandatory stories on my Facebook feed concern next year’s lucky and unlucky zodiac signs, and what to wear to enhance your fortune. Isn’t that convenient? Wear a particular colour and you’ll be problem-free all year!
Lean, mean Pilates machine
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 04/09/2015
» Are those fetters and chains? A guillotine? A hospital bed? It might look like an instrument of torture, but it's actually the latest workout tool.
#BangkokDriversSyndrome
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015
» I was about a few years short of being able to apply for my driver's license when they announced they would no longer be offering lifelong permits. That means, for the rest of my life, I'm required to visit the Department of Land Transport every five years to renew this little white card that I've never really used — for which I am proud, as it means I've never been flagged down by traffic police!
