Curious vintage Thai ads
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/07/2022
» It's always fascinating to look back at print ads from yesteryears as they serve as a window into the past and what values and attitudes were acceptable back then. Even though I think you shouldn't judge work from the past with today's value (look up presentism), I'm going to do that anyway with some of the following vintage ads for your entertainment.

Rethinking Election Posters
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 08/04/2022
» The English idiom goes "Don't judge a book by its cover" but I'll say "Let's judge candidates running for Bangkok governor by how they put up their posters". It's a mouthful but I think it's a legitimate point to ponder.
Making Internship Count
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 18/03/2022
» A Facebook post by a Chula student went viral last weekend and sparked a conversation surrounding the state of internships in Thailand. The sports science student was told to complete his internship next year, following a dispute with a higher-up while interning at a hotel. Apparently, he refused to do what he was told and got snappy in his reply via Line to the general manager. He argued that the uni could have done more for him as he had secured another company to continue his internship there instead.

Hollywood Movies With Crazy Thai Titles
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/10/2021
» Have you been back to the cinema as yet? As I'm browsing through movies for my first flick to celebrate multiplexes reopening (I went with Shang-Chi because duh!), I can't help but notice the difference between Thai posters of Hollywood movies today compared to those from bygone years. While Thai posters of blockbusters today stay faithful by transliterating its English title with Thai letters and translating its subtitle almost verbatim (eg Shang-Chi With Mysterious Legends of Ten Rings), the vintage counterparts are more-is-more and over explained. Not only do they feature different designs that are re-created by talented Thai artists along with Thai titles that have nothing to do with the original titles but also spew several visual spoilers. Here are a few Thai posters of Hollywood movies with crazy titles and taglines for your entertainment.
