    The Year of ...

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/12/2020

I'm sure the last 359 days have us thinking and rethinking about a lot of things in our lives and what 2020 would go down as in our personal history. Here is what 2020 means to me (and hopefully you, too).

It seems, however, that some people haven't yet received that message.

    Thinking outside the box

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/03/2012

    » Sometimes it's easy to get frustrated with Thailand's lack of logic when it comes to problem solving. For example, we're constantly warned about the threat of Bangkok sinking, yet developers continue to build hotels, condos and shopping centres, eroding the urban landscape. Ask a student a question that requires critical thinking, and expect a blank stare in response. Politicians go on about making society better, when in reality all they do is give themselves undeserved pay rises and free iPhones.
