Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 05/06/2020
» The phrase "new normal" has become the new cliché as Thailand eases restrictions on businesses and activities.

As we learn to live with new norms of everyday life, you may come across some that don't seem to make much sense. Here are a few for your entertainment.

The first week of "new normal"
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 08/05/2020
» Last Sunday, Covid-19 curbs have been eased as 13 types of businesses were allowed to reopen after a month-long halt while four airlines resume domestic flights to 14 provinces since last Friday. Markets, public parks, food shops, barbershops, pet groomers and more resume operations under safety conditions, giving us back a sense of quasi-normalcy. The silver lining is that more businesses may be reopened if the daily tally of Covid-19 remains low (keeping fingers and toes crossed). In case you want to head out this weekend, you can look forwards to this.

No-flipping required
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/02/2020
» What do you get when you cross UFO, Yanbian-style barbecue, no-flipping grills and a lot of wordplay? BADBQ in Siam Square Soi 9 is the answer! To the best of my knowledge, this casual joint is the first and only in Thailand to offer a Yanbian-style barbecue, Yanbian being the autonomous prefecture in China with a large number of ethnic Koreans. This has resulted in the cuisine being a fusion of Chinese and Korean.
