Chinese life Cycle
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/01/2012
» For non-Chinese people, Chinese New Year (Jan 23) probably conjures images of dragons, lions and ang pao. But there is much more than simply these things to the Chinese way of life. You really don't know what goes on in the life of a Chinese unless you're born one. And, as the resident Chinese-descendant of the Guru team, I feel it's my duty to offer insight into the different stages of Chinese life in Thailand so you can enjoy the upcoming Chinese New Year like a true Chinese no matter what age or ethnicity you are. Kung Hei Fat Choy, everyone.

It can make us spend a year's salary impressing our khun noo girlfriend with an LV bag despite an unwavering credit card debt.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 17/02/2012

» In a galaxy not so far, far away, there's a place where the mere touch of a finger will set off an electrical impulse and make food magically appear. A mythical joint where a tactile response allows you to order your meals with the least amount of human contact possible (and if there's one thing we could all use less of, it's interaction with people).

Animal magnetism
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/03/2012
» It was first established as Soi Dog Rescue by a British expat named Sherry Conisbee in October 2002. She brought a new concept in animal welfare to Bangkok - catch, neuter, release [CNR].

You're fired!
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 09/03/2012
» What's the riskiest thing you've ever done at the office? Stealing your boss's hair from his/her desk to use in a voodoo doll? Taking a secret nap in the meeting room? Coming to work unwashed after partying all night? Or just generally slacking off? We have all done a thing or two that management would frown upon (if they came to know of it). And you should be careful because, unlike esteemed MPs and high-ranking officials, Somchais and Somyings get fired every day for their mistakes and sometimes for causes you can't imagine. We've selected five cases of extraordinary sackings which, in hindsight, reveal tips to help you keep your job or at least give you some ideas to go out with a bang.
