Geek out
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/07/2014
» If you’ve ever fantasised about sitting on the Game of Thrones’ Iron Throne, hugging a life-sized Rilakkuma, and/or taking a selfie with an army of Stormtroopers, you can make your geeky dreams come true at Bangkok Comic Con (fb.com/bangkokcomiccon, B150 per ticket), which runs from today (Jul 4) until Sunday (Jul 6) at Siam Paragon’s Royal Paragon Hall.

Facebook police
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/06/2014
» Haven’t we all used Facebook to complain about something we see as wrong at some stage? There are some Facebook pages created and dedicated to raising awareness on improper behaviour in public places that you may not be aware of. Check them out in case you want to share your frustration, see what not to do so you won’t end up on one of these pages, or at least get a laugh out of them.

Splish splash
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/04/2014

Like a motorcycle taxi’s seat pre-heated by the April midday sun, this prompted some Thais to be extra protective of what they considered exclusive to Thailand. However, we need not worry about anyone copying our Songkran since we have many elements that are so inimitable that no other country would be able to (or want to) recreate them. In honour of the upcoming Thai New Year, we present you with all the things that make Songkran uniquely Thai.

This week, to help you embrace your inner geek (we all have one — don’t be in denial), we present what you can expect from the pop culture event along with other ways to geek out in Bangkok.

Change-makers
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/04/2014
» Recently the BTS launched a campaign to encourage Thais to start using escalators properly. Y’know, walk on the left side or stay on the right if you want to stand still. While we’re at it, we think they should discourage people from hugging the centre poles between their buttocks unless they’re strippers (go to fb.com/ohmysat to see what we’re talking about).
