  » Breathing the fresh air, punctual bus schedules, smooth and clean pavements and streets. Do you remember these simple joys when travelling abroad? I bet everyone entertains the thought of spending their last breath in a particular city that is not home. Within the span of few days, a Facebook group called "Let's Move Abroad" has become a viral online phenomenon as Thai netizens gather to discuss and share their aspirations to flee a place where they were born and raised.

Celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community throughout the world annually, June is when people can proudly carry a flag for diversity and visibility of groups of people, who have been mariginalised in daily life. While the LGBTQIA+ community in Thailand enjoys a lot of visibility, it doesn't mean they've never faced any challenges. Guru has gathered noted figures of the community to share their pride with us.

  » Stepping out into the world as a fresh graduate during a pandemic has been undeniably difficult. Transition into adulthood is tough enough without Miss Rona, who has caused the decline of job opportunities, an unstable political situation and loss of life experiences, to name a few on the tip of the iceberg. However, this is a reality that millions of young Thais face today. Guru speaks to a few to learn about their beginnings at adulthood and resources they can turn to for help.

The new milestone was marked on June 9, 2022, when growing and trading cannabis were no longer a crime in Thailand. Smoking gets a green light too, but puffing a joint in public is still prohibited. With a newfangled marijuana business popping up around the city, we list dispensaries in Bangkok for those who are curious. We also asked the weedness-owners about their backgrounds and basics for begin-stoners.

According to the Guinness World Records, many Thais have beaten world records in presenting Thai culture creatively and unexpectedly, which has made us proud. Guru has a small complication of what we have archived.
