To markets, To (Indie) markets
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/09/2014
» You would think Bangkokians have their shopping needs fulfilled to the brim already, given the ever-growing number of malls out there.

This weekend alone there will be two niche markets – Million Bike Market for bicyclists and Pet Design Fair for dog and cat people. We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/03/2014
» Thais are sanook people. We like to have fun and don’t take things too seriously. Although we here at Guru all enjoy off-colour jokes every now and then, there’s a fine line between making light of someone or something and getting a laugh, or doing the same but drawing a big “boo”. This week, we examine five of the most controversial flippant actions that took place in Thailand. Judge for yourself whether they went too far.

Recapping 2013
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/12/2013
» 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!

Super solutions
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/08/2013
» Sometimes we can go a bit crazy while trying to solve a problem. For example, in order to deter office thieves, you may have to stick a note on your lunchbox with a message saying, "This belongs to [your name] and those who eat it will be cursed with impotency!". Some car owners might place plastic bottles filled with water to prevent soi dogs from marking their territory. Some walls have a sign that reads, "This is where dogs pee" to deter public urinators.

Spectrum, Angus Mitchell, Published on 21/07/2013
» Last week, we introduced you to the legal definition of medical malpractice, which is professional negligence by an act or omission of a healthcare provider where the treatment falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death of the patient. We outlined both the civil and criminal laws that govern medical malpractice lawsuits, and the possible compensation one could receive depending on the injury suffered. Today, we would like to delve further into what happens when medical malpractice occurs, as well as legislation currently before parliament that offers additional protections to victims of medical malpractice.
