Road runners
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 18/02/2022
» Despite all of the comforts of living in Bangkok, we all wish for safer sidewalks and roads for pedestrians and motorists alike. A recent slate of tragic accidents serves as a wake-up call for us all. Guru asked a few Bangkokians to share their experiences on the road as drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians while gathering opinions from watchdog groups on what needs to be done so our roads and sidewalks can be safer.
Happy Belated April's Fool Day!
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/04/2021
» Sometimes I feel like every other day is April's Fool Day in Thailand given the sheer number of unbelievable news stories, for good or bad reasons, that happen. To belatedly celebrate April's Fool Day in a way that the authorities won't have any problems with, I present you with 10 news stories -- your job will be to discern which ones are genuine. Put T in front of the story you think is true and put F if you think it's an April's Fool Day prank, you know the drill. The answers are provided at the end so no cheating!
Expectations vs Reality
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/09/2019
» It's always a challenge to be in a new country because things may be done differently from where you come from. There are a few things you may think are universally accepted only to have your thinking completely blown into smithereens once you're in a new country. It's pretty much the same with living in Thailand.
A Uniformed Presence
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/01/2019
» Should schools still impose uniform on students? Earlier this week, pictures of students at Bangkok Christian College wearing their choices of attire to school were widely spread online. Kudos to the school for trying out a new approach to encourage student creativity and self-expression. Special shout out to the boy who wore Rillakuma onesie and the other one with a turban.
The Year That Was
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/12/2018
» 2018 has come and gone as quickly as motorcyclists swerve off the sidewalk when they see a cop. And it's been a whirlwind of a year -- the Winter Olympics, Harry and Meghan, Yanny and Laurel and the daring rescue of the boars. With the many, many events, it's hard to recap everything in one go. Plus, we don't want to make the same mistake YouTube Rewind did. So we decided to ask people from various walks to life to tell us what the year has been for them. Here's a look back at 2018 and here's us wishing you a Happy New Year!
