#Traffic
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/05/2016
» How has this week's traffic treated ya, now that the Thai kids are back in school? As a parent who has to endure the heart-tearing stress of being stuck on Sathon Road every morning and afternoon, I think I deserve a trophy for my patience, or a year's supply of Vicodin.

Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 21/08/2015
» About a week ago, I told my friend I didn't ever want my kid to grow up. She agreed, saying it's probably irresponsible to bring a new life into this kind of world. Our reasons were simple -- the ever-worsening traffic, people's deceitfulness, cruel climate change and just the struggle of life in general.

#BangkokDriversSyndrome
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015

The fine line between teaching and cheating
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 06/01/2015
» When I was a second-grader, I remember being assigned by my art teacher to draw an image of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. What's an eight-year-old to do? I told my mother to help me out.
