Stories that got blown out of proportion, thanks to social media
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/07/2018
» While I appreciate social media for being a multi-faceted tool for keeping up with friends (and frenemies), indulging in endless cat videos, stalking beautiful strangers and showing off what I ate or where I stayed (I'm only human), it's also an amplifier for some stories that probably don't need the attention of the entire country. Not sure what I'm getting at? Here are a few stories that, IMHO, are of little value, but, thanks to social media, we are drawn to care about.

Making a splash
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/03/2014
» A restaurant named Bath may make your imagination run wild. While we were secretly hoping to wade around in our birthday suits with food being served among floaties and rubber ducks, the new restaurant Bath doesn’t take its motif that far. Instead, the inspiration comes from public baths of ancient civilisations as places of gathering and socialising but leaves the parts about actual bathing and different levels of nakedness out. What lies behind the big wooden doors is an air of intrigue and mystery. The venue is divided into three parts. With a narrow pool in the middle and candlelight, the front building has a serenity that should suit those who want an eye-locking dinner. The second building should fit groovier occasions with a bar and DJ corner. The backyard is where to enjoy hookah and lounge about. The crowd consists of Western expats and Thai office workers looking to unwind after work.
