Environment Day, Every Day
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/11/2018
» A fun fact that you may not be aware of -- Dec 4 is Thai Environment Day and it has been for about 27 years. The Ministry of Science and Technology proposed that the date should observe the importance of the environment and natural resources to people's present and future, and raise awareness on conservation. The Cabinet approved it on Nov 12, 1991. However, what originally inspired the day was a speech by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Dec 4, 1989, in which he showed a great concern for the environment in Thailand.

Thai-Style Two-Sentence Horror Stories
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/10/2018
» To help you get into a spooky mindframe for Halloween, I would like to share a few Thai-style horror stories. But since people have a shorter attention span these days (who doesn't?), I have summed up the shortest stories that have been circulated online. If you get all of them, you are pretty well-versed in Thai culture. Kudos!

Food in mini forest
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 08/06/2018
» Contrary to its name, GISMO isn't techie, futuristic or gimmicky in any way. Instead, it's a low-key dining spot with a relaxed and welcoming ambience. You'll be sitting in a rustic warehouselike space with high ceiling and exposed beams. The floor-to-ceiling windows with thin frames amply allow in natural light to brighten up the place while pops of flora and leaves add life and softness to the space. Most of the plants are artificial but have a soothing effect on you nonetheless, making the space a little forest in the city. There weren't much to distract you from what's on the plate as the only background music is the fountain's trickling.

Change the world, one photo at a time
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/05/2018
» Theerachat "Tom" Potisit is a freelance photographer who's behind many iconic images that went viral in recent years. On top of countless fashion shoots, you may have already seen his work, which stimulates conversation on relevant social issues without knowing the man. In 2014, he saw an opportunity to raise awareness on marine life conservation when a Bryde's whale beached in Samut Prakarn and staged a fashion shoot there. Remember the "Anatomy 101" exhibition at Chulalongkorn Hospital in 2015? It was a photo exhibition where Tom and Surachai "Pui" Saengsuwan, a noted fashion photographer, took beautiful, haunting pictures of models and celebs in a hospital setting to raise awareness on organ donation. Most recently, he organised "Know-R", a photography exhibition to highlight livelihood of communities along the Chao Phraya River. It was staged on an old rice barge in February. Tom has also earned a reputation as a photographer/conservationist for his contribution to raising awareness on endangered species over the years. Guru spoke with this fascinating photographer whose works combine art, fashion and raising awareness.
