    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.

    #TillDebtDoUsApart

    Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 12/02/2016

    » Unless you've been living under a rock -- or in a place with horrible 3G -- you'll have heard about the dentist who refused to repay a 30 million baht scholarship and is now living a supposedly hi-so life in the US. Her guarantors were forced to pay her debt. After the news became widespread, she made a promise to pay them back.

    #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.

    Reading between the lies

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 14/08/2013

    » I was watching a news programme the other day, and a headline captured my attention. The news anchor said that according to Unesco, Thais read four lines a year. Several years ago, I also heard something similar, only at the time it was eight lines, and that headline continued to circulate in our society, sparking debate and criticism about Thailand's education and people.

    Much ado about education

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 15/01/2013

    » One of the biggest worries for parents, and trust me there are many, is which school their child will end up in. When I was not yet a mother, a lot of people said, and I assumed it was a joke, that you have to start thinking about your child's school the moment you know you're pregnant. How ridiculous is that?

    When getting stopped does not stop

    Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 04/10/2012

    » I used to enjoy taking a stroll around the department store, when it was all about free air-conditioning, window shopping and walking aimlessly. All that had to stop when I had a baby because it just wasn't convenient _ what with diapers changing and uncontrollable wailing (my son's, not mine). Now that he is in school, I have some (albeit limited) free time to spend walking around my favourite neighbourhood department store.
