Game on
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 06/12/2013
» An independent game developer achieved momentary fame last week when his iOS game went to top position in the Thai App Store. His brainchild - called Thai Fight - allows you to pitch Yingluck against Abhisit (more on it later in this article) and appeared amidst this political tension. Since you’re practically glued to your smartphone 24/7 anyway, we’re giving kudos to the coolest made-in-Thailand games you can happily kill time with.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/11/2013
» Bangkok life comes with its fair share of first-world problems i.e. "What restaurant should I go to for my two-hour lunch break?", "How can I get a taxi when the condo's security guard is sick?", "Is the number of my champagne-gold iPhone 5s auspicious enough?", "How should I direct my chauffeur to avoid traffic?"

Cab connector
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/11/2013
» The smartphone app called Easy Taxi was originally developed in Brazil in 2011 to help people find cabs. Since then, it has rapidly expanded and is now available in 18 countries. Felipe Kasinsky, 31, is the young CEO of Easy Taxi in Thailand. He talks to us about how the app benefits both passengers and drivers (but most importantly, saves us all from face-to-face taxi rejection). Go to facebook.com/EasyTaxiThai, Twitter @EasyTaxiThai or www.easytaxi.com for more info.

Get smart?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/09/2013
» Last week Education Minister Chaturon Chaisaeng ordered officials to look into a report prepared by the World Economic Forum (WEF) that showed the Thai educational system was potentially left behind at the bottom among eight Asean countries surveyed (to be fair, the WEF surveyed 144 countries around the world and in certain aspects of education we're doing better than others). Our dad, the Bangkok Post, reported later in the week that the minister vowed to embark on efforts to improve the education system and that his ministry will make education reform a national agenda.

Bangkok songkran agendas
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/04/2013
» OMB! We have five days off in a row because the cabinet kindly declared that this year's "official" Songkran break starts from today until Tuesday. Say what you will about PM Poo, but she is so right in giving us a long holiday since we can't function properly during this kind of heat anyway. Anyhoo, that's over 7,000 minutes we're supposed to wisely spend relaxing before going back to the grind on Wednesday. And even though some shops and places in Bangkok may be shut during the Thai New Year, there are plenty more options for celebrating. Here's what we suggest you do and, hopefully, you may also find a deeper meaning of Songkran Festival (besides throwing water at strangers) along the way. Happy splashing, everyone.

You should be so lucky
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/01/2013
» We're four days into 2013, and no doubt you've already broken your New Year's resolutions by now. But who needs self-control and discipline when we live in Thailand and can rely on the art of superstition? Sure, some people subscribe to the belief that you should work hard to achieve your goals, but if you're feeling particularly lazy/have nothing to lose/down on your luck, then why not try some of these methods that people believe can help bring them blessings? Of course, Guru doesn't guarantee that any of these methods will work, but if they do, feel free to share some of your good fortune with us.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/12/2012
» There's a big fat jolly guy inside every one of us ready to come out. Wait, that sounds wrong for some reason.

But why not extend your generosity beyond your circle of friends and families to strangers too? We've found nine cool ways you can give and, at the risk of sounding like we have a soft heart, receive good karma and the joy of doing so in return.
