    #Sex

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 17/06/2016

    » Every newspaper I read in the last few weeks talked about sex. A teacher was accused of having sex with minors and posting videos of his dirty deeds. Nataree Massage Parlour was raided and police have pressed charges for human trafficking and prostitution. On a global platform, everyone was talking about the former Stanford University athlete convicted for raping a woman, or as his father put it, his "20 minutes of action".

    #NewsTrolls

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 09/10/2015

    » One of my extremely constructive hobbies, right up there with Candy Crush, is reading comments on public Facebook pages. Sources of my entertainment range from Drama-Addict to hard news pages. Usually, I find the comments more interesting than the news itself.

    #FakeItToMakeIt

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 04/09/2015

    » Online shopping is the latest addiction for today's women. And who can blame us? When we're browsing our favourite celebrity's Instagram accounts, shops make their presence known in the (irrelevant) comments. When we're spying on our exes on Facebook, the ads on the side provide a nice distraction.

    #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!

    E-bortion is not OK

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 17/10/2014

    » Every day I see disturbing things on social media. Sometimes it's something minor, like boastful friends posting pictures of their latest luxurious purchase, but from time to time, some really depressing things emerge on my screen, such as the recent forum discussing the prevalence of "abortion pills".

    The problem with financial trust

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/06/2014

    » A few months ago, a person whom I would have described as a “close friend” up until the incident I’m about to share, contacted me out of the blue with two sentences: “Can I borrow 10,000 baht? I will pay you back in three days.”

    Scientifically speaking

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 30/05/2013

    » Growing up, my grades in science were relatively mediocre. I didn't really like the subject, but now that I come to think of it, it was not science itself that I found boring or intimidating _ it was the way I was taught it. We didn't have a big science lab, and the experiments we did weren't really meaningful. The teacher would even tell us the results before we got into the lab and said that we should make sure our results were the same as hers. In other words, we walked into the lab with zero curiosity because we already knew what was going to happen.

    Skipping the unhealthy bad news breakfast

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/11/2012

    » Apart from coffee, my second favourite thing to consume every morning is news and information. The moment I wake up, I check my phone to see if there are new emails or messages, and proceed to check my Facebook and Twitter to see what everyone is talking about. While having breakfast I used to leave the television on to watch a popular morning news programme. I would also read some of the Thai newspapers that my family subscribes to.
