  #PrayForThailand

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 21/08/2015

  » About a week ago, I told my friend I didn't ever want my kid to grow up. She agreed, saying it's probably irresponsible to bring a new life into this kind of world. Our reasons were simple -- the ever-worsening traffic, people's deceitfulness, cruel climate change and just the struggle of life in general. Try getting through Friday evening traffic on payday when it rains on Sukhumvit Road -- you'll see what I mean. Or read this issue's cover story, which pretty much sums it up.

  #WhatsInAName

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 28/08/2015

  » I recently saw a magazine cover that featured a man who had an extremely strange and long name. I don't even remember the name, what he did or why he was on the cover. All I remember is that his name was really weird. It was the Thai equivalent of "Dsfjosoifandegfio". In other words, it looked like someone had spilled Scrabbles tiles and decided to use the resulting mess as a name.

  #DesignProblems

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 24/07/2015

  » The design industry seems like the fastest-growing, most profitable industry in the world. Or maybe the second, following the counterfeit industry selling the same products at shamelessly cheaper prices.

  #YouAren'tWhatIEat

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 26/06/2015

  » Eating is so basic and instinctive, yet modern-day crazies have made it oh-so-complicated. It's associated with health, wealth, manners, character, knowledge, karma — the list goes on.

  #ILovePRPeople

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 03/07/2015

  » As a part of my glamorous, coveted job, I am in contact with about 100 PR representatives per day. OK, maybe five, but still. While most of them are pleasant and send me food on a regular basis, I've had my share of traumatising experiences that I can't seem shake out of my pretty head. I'm not just talking about PR people exclusively — the young(er) generation of office workers can also drive office aunties like me up the wall.

  #BangkokDriversSyndrome

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015

  » I was about a few years short of being able to apply for my driver's license when they announced they would no longer be offering lifelong permits. That means, for the rest of my life, I'm required to visit the Department of Land Transport every five years to renew this little white card that I've never really used — for which I am proud, as it means I've never been flagged down by traffic police!
