Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/08/2021
» On Saturday, the Department of Health warned against hook-ups with strangers as it could lead to another cluster of Covid-19, which could then spread to families and communities. Those who are considered at risk of contracting Covid-19, tested positive for it or waiting for the test results are also urged to refrain from sexy times.
Help at your fingertips
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 23/07/2021
» While some countries have seen early signs of bouncing back after the pandemic, in Thailand we're in the opposite situation with the number of new cases crossing the 10,000 mark daily (at the time of going to print). With the announcement of the latest restrictions, 13 provinces will be under lockdown until Aug 2 with tougher measures and a strict curfew in place. Don't feel depressed if you're bored, stuck and uninspired during these trying times, but do not let those feelings engulf you. Here are online tools with unique features that will make your life easier while being at home.
Dealing With A Covid-19 Side Effect
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/01/2021
» One side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic that you may have overlooked (besides amassing a vast collection of hand sanitisers and exposing govt inefficiency -- kapow!) is more waste, especially plastic. Inevitably, it is exacerbated by our appetite for food delivery while we're WFH during this quasi-lockdown. The first wave saw an increase of plastic waste by 60% in Bangkok due to the higher demand for food delivery as estimated by Thailand Environment Institute in May last year. Thailand Research Development Insitute also claimed that one such order can contain up to seven pieces of plastic waste (so opt-out of utensils when you order please).
Laughing in the face of Covid-19
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/03/2020
» Laughter is definitely not the best medicine for coronavirus, but perhaps, in difficult times like this, we all could use it the most. While we're all practising self-isolation, social distancing or working from home, I present you examples of people who find humour in the Covid-19 climate to brighten up your days.
The desolation of smog
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 25/01/2019
» The first month of 2019 has been completely obscured by the hazy descent of smog upon the Big Mango and while Bangkokians are no strangers to pollution, it seems that this may be worse than before. Each morning, we wake up to a smog-infested skyline and step out into the streets breathing in fresh pollution speckled with PM2.5 dust particles, which are dangerous and fine (size-wise, not hotness-wise). Pollution Control Department director-general Pralong Damrongthai said that this may last for another month or two -- with ups and downs -- and the PCD has admitted that spraying water into the air doesn't really help (but it's so much fun so let's continue). Expect Bangkok to look post apocalyptic for a while. But fear not dear readers, we are looking out for you. We've done our research (it's never too late) and we've got a few protips on how to survive the haze.
