Recapping 2013
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/12/2013
» New Year’s is time to look back at what has happened during the year that is about to pass. The media usually takes this opportunity to do a round-up of memorable moments. As an esteemed publication ourselves, we decided to do our very own recapping of 2013 (and because we’re too lazy to go out and find new stories). The year hasn’t been a thoroughly smooth ride but we were certainly never bored. Bye-bye, 2013!

Not the news
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/01/2014
» We think we aren’t the only ones who have been glued to our smartphone screens of late, following updates regarding #BangkokShutdown on Twitter and whatnot. Amid the cascade of information and misinformation, one item caught our attention, like a crystal-encrusted golden whistle under the midday light. It was an item about nightlife giant Ku De Ta closing its doors after a series of “bad circumstances” over the past few months that were bad for business with the shutdown being the last straw.

The latest cut
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 27/09/2013
» A place that only old men frequent and kids dread embarrassing crew cuts, old-school barber shops have been marginalised in the lifestyle hierarchy since lot of men, especially the metrosexual generation, have opted for unisex salons where speed and fashion meet. In recent years, however, the red-and-white barber pole, the nostalgic buzz of electric hair clippers, the thick layer of lather and the masterly handling of the open razor while the customer is on a reclining chair - all of these have made a trendy comeback.

» This year’s Halloween falls on Thursday (Oct 31), and we have already been celebrating by sending LINE Halloween stickers to friends for weeks now. Such antics have gotten us thinking about certain scary beings that have become synonymous with the day. For our own entertainment (and hopefully yours too), we compare six well-known Thai ghosts based on six criteria to find the ultimate mascot for Thai Halloween. Use our picks to inspire your costume, or just continue to be amused by the local fascination with spirits.

Strangebook
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/07/2013
» The usage of Facebook in Thailand is getting stranger by the minute, it seems. Besides posting pictures of unfortunate people asking for "likes" to show "support", or scared entities promising auspiciousness to followers, some individuals have set up Facebook pages to promote things you wouldn’t think merit a Facebook following. We’ve selected 10 such pages in case you want to grow up one day and become a page administrator to promote something niche like your collection of belly-button lint (or dandruff collecting). Go ahead since you’ll probably find more followers than you think, like these strange Facebook pages.

The man who sold the world
Life, Yanapon Musiket, Published on 30/05/2013
» Everybody deserves an escape, and my recent annual leave took me to London, a city where men know how to wear a suit with style. It is also the city of David Bowie _ the man whose persona seems to tease and provoke the boundaries of gender and whose five-decade career is one of the most spectacular in the music industry.

The singing nun
Life, Karnjariya Sukrung, Published on 18/06/2012
» It is quite unusual to see people calling themselves "fans" of a Buddhist nun. But so seemed the norm last month when Bangkok celebrated the 2,600th anniversary of Lord Buddha attaining enlightenment.
