Bangkok Guru

Nothing beats a good can of beer particularly when you’re in Thailand trying to relax in the stifling heat. Generally speaking, most beers are available somewhere in a bar but since you are unlikely to visit the same bar all the time, why not just discuss the most readily available beers in Thailand i.e. those [...]

About two weeks ago while cruising the web I stumbled across this Thai Stars website which claims to be showcasing the best sites on Thailand and I thought it was interesting. I was just checking out a couple of sites listed there and out of a sudden noticed that someone had also included Bangkok Guru [...]

Upon our arrival in the canteen at lunch today, I noticed it was absolutely jam packed with little walking space for all diners. All eyes were locked on TV screens with everyone cheering for our two Olympic boxing hopefuls. They were going literally mental. But I don’t blame them because I too was one of [...]

Today I had no energy to write a proper post but got this very casual post idea off Chris who also got it from Alitta, both of whom I enjoy spending time with at work. I slightly changed the title but the questions are all the same:

He confessed to repeatedly stabbing his victim, a 54-year-old man, to death because he wanted to find out [...]

Today at work while working on a project, I stumbled upon this news story of a transexual toilet in a Thai school which I found absolutely hilarious!

My mate says this story demonstrates a high level of tolerance and diversity in the Thai society but as far as I’m concerned this is diversity gone mad! According [...]

Like most young people in Bangkok, I enjoy going out for a beer or two after a long week at work. There’s one major problem that I’ve encountered though; it usually spirals out of control and ends up costing me more than what my nightly budget allows. And there’s a reason for this: a pub [...]

Everyone knows Thailand is a renowned Buddhist country, and rightly so in its own right. The vast majority of the population - about 95% - are in fact Buddhists. The rest are made up of Muslims, Christians, Hindus and a few other minor faiths.
