Do not pass
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/03/2012
» The recent fight between BTS security guards and an Irish man over his daughter's balloons at Phrom Phong station produced one good thing. It's now etched in people's minds (probably for the first time) that innocent balloons are forbidden within the Skytrain system because they are inflammable and, therefore, considered a threat to passenger safety. There goes our plan to suck in helium and talk funny to pass time on the train.

Yuu, Yes, Yuu

» There are two things Bangkokians apparently can't get enough of - shopping centres and yakiniku restaurants. Just when you think they have become passe, a new one pops up right before your eyes. And before you know it, one may be just a B10 motorcycle ride away from your home and your nightly pilgrimage to 7-Eleven will be less appealing all of a sudden.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/06/2013
» CentralWorld is buzzing with more people than usual at the moment because a fair dedicated to street food is being held there until Sunday (see Food, p20), attempting to cement Thailand as the hub of street food. The fact is we can celebrate street food all year round given the sheer number of food vendors in this city. However, for first-time visitors (or even some Bangkok khun noos) the street food scene may feel like unexplored territory. We are here to help with our very own guide to Bangkok street food.

Get active
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 18/10/2013
» Ademonstration against a controversial dam project in Mae Wong National Park will start at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre tomorrow. The dam plan has been criticised for its lack of transparency, questionable effi ciency in preventing future fl ooding and its threat to irreplaceable trees and wildlife. To deputy PM Plodprasob Suraswadi, forests can be regrown and wildlife bred, but an online petition against the project on Change.org has garnered over 113,401 signatures, becoming the biggest campaign of its kind in Asia (who knew that Thais are such environmentalists?!).

Change-makers
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/04/2014
» Recently the BTS launched a campaign to encourage Thais to start using escalators properly. Y’know, walk on the left side or stay on the right if you want to stand still. While we’re at it, we think they should discourage people from hugging the centre poles between their buttocks unless they’re strippers (go to fb.com/ohmysat to see what we’re talking about).

Outside-the-box accommodation
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/06/2017
» If you're the type of person who stays regularly at hotel chains, you'll know the overall designs can be pretty predictable. While there's nothing wrong with staying in a deluxe, premier, suite or a villa, do you ever wonder what it's like to stay in alternative types of accommodation?
