Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 25/03/2016
» Earlier this month, our intern interviewed artist Nakrob Moonmanas. One of his quotes particularly resonated with me. "Look at us, we celebrate everything -- Songkran, Valentine's Day, New Year's, Christmas and Chinese New Year."

Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 25/03/2016
» Here are a few fun facts for you. The Parasaurolophus was perhaps the only type of dinosaur that could sing. The Argentinosaurus is the largest dinosaur ever known about, approximately 35.1m in length. The Stegosaurus, that dino with some 17 bony plates along its back, is thought to have been able to pump blood into its plates to change its colour, possibly to fool its predators.

Down to earth
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/01/2016
» There is something about having greenness in your home. No, we're not talking about propping up your Christmas tree a few weeks a year. Green is one of the most soothing colours (more so when it's on a traffic light) and, being in the centre of the spectrum, the colour of balance.

Baby, when the lights go out
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 05/02/2016
» I loved clubbing. I used to party a lot in my early 20s, until the ageing process deprived me of the ability to stay awake, much less active, past midnight. What I miss most about those days is dancing to fun (and ear-splittingly loud) music in dark places. It was just so exhilarating, knowing everyone around me was too drunk to care. I have often wondered, why can't someone bring clubbing forward to like 7pm?

» Unless you've been living under a rock -- or in a place with horrible 3G -- you'll have heard about the dentist who refused to repay a 30 million baht scholarship and is now living a supposedly hi-so life in the US. Her guarantors were forced to pay her debt. After the news became widespread, she made a promise to pay them back.

Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 19/02/2016
» Oh, how we all dream of having a flat stomach, toned arms and the endurance of Usain Bolt. The problem with making that dream come true is we have too many excuses. Signing up at a gym? No money. Running in the park? Too hot. Swimming? Too wet. Yoga at home? No time. Ice cream? Oh, yes.

Your summer home
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 19/02/2016
» OK, we might not be thrilled about “summer”, since the weather here is essentially summery year-round. But what makes Thailand’s summers great, however, is the number of holidays during the season — and the fact that it’s so early in the year we haven’t used up our leave or sick days yet.
