Into the fog with memes

» I'm sure you're painfully aware of the smog that blankets Bangkok and its adjoining provinces (through your nose, eyes and throats), and have already learned from the experts on how to protect yourself from the harmful effects of PM2.5 particulate matter that has shrouded our city. There's no point in shedding anymore light on these topics, so here I offer another kind of relief -- humour through a few smog-inspired memes to get you through these foggy days. Take a deep breath (while wearing an N95 mask) people, this too shall pass.

» Refill Station (fb.com/refillstationbkk) is the brainchild of Supatchaya "Ann" Techachoochert, alternative energy engineer Chanin "Nammon" Srisuman and co-founder of Better Moon cafe Papawee "Pear" Pongthanavaranon. Ann, who studied biology for her doctorate degree and writes for green-living website Greenery (www.greenery.org), told us how they trail-blazed the zero-waste movement and are tackling the plastic waste issue in Thailand through their unique service, which recently turned one.
A Uniformed Presence

» 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.

» Iconsiam gives city slickers plenty of reasons to cross the Chao Phraya River. Besides its retail extravaganza of well-known brands and architectural wonders and art, Iconsiam's dining options across seven zones are impressive, too. I ate my way through them to give you some highlights.

» Christmas Day is just a couple of days away. While Santa is coming to town and you're unsure if you're on his naughty or nice list, there are many kind activities in Bangkok you can do to ensure you'll be in his good graces.
