It is very hot standing in the sun where it is very crowded. Luckily I am standing in a place where it has less people plus I am standing in the front of those people. The bridge, where I am standing, is made from wood and I am not sure that it will …

I talked before about “Pok Deng” which is a card game that even young children can play. It is small time gambling. The bet could start from a few baht up to whatever you want. But really if someone wants to gamble with lots of money, they usually go to a higher level game which is more…

One of the first Thai bloggers in Thailand was Panrit “Gor” Daoruang who started back in 1997 when he was only 12 years old. He was blogging about his daily life at a time when people didn’t really know what blogs were all about. For him it started as a school …

Another chapter in the life of Panrit “Gor” Daoruang” has come to an end with his release from prison after serving his full three years for dug possession. Gor shot to international fame during his teenage years for his stories about…

Here I am with my girlfriend at a jewellery shop in Seacon Square. My girlfriend has come here to pierce her belly button. I have come to support her. She has been wanting to do this for a long time. I think ever since the first time she saw my navel ring. I think it is …

Have you ever gambled? If you said that you have never, even a little, then I am sure you must be lying. But if you really really mean it, you must be one in a million who has never gambled. I don’t think …

After I broke up with my first girlfriend I changed a lot. From a normal school boy into a naughty one. I started to hang out with those friends whom my girlfriend didn’t like. The reason she didn’t like them is because they were never serious with any girls. They just played around with girls and treated …

It has now been about five months since I got my motorcycle. I had lots of fun with it. I have also been through a lot of bad luck which has upset me very much. Now, I am back at the temple with the bike. I…

Back in 1998, when I was thirteen years old, it was the time I started to become a teenager and when I started to care more about myself and how I looked. Also, I started to feel love for the first time which is a normal thing for most teenagers around the world. I began to look for a cute girl…

Can you remember your first day at school? Can you remember how you felt when you first stepped in to your new classroom? If you can, you will know how I felt when I started my new life at BBC or Bangkok Business College. I remembered that day very well. It is the day that I started to grown up a little more and be…

For three days now my younger brother hasn’t gone to school. No-one in my family really knows what the problem is. Nor do I. But the last thing I want is for him not to go to school because of me. I hope that he didn’t copy my bad habits from the past. Now I need to find out the problem and fix it …

In the past, I always thought that being a teacher was an easy job. But I changed my mind when I became a part-time teacher for the first time at Sriwittayapaknam School. It isn’t that easy like I had first thought. There is more to it than just standing …

Have you ever been in a car for a long time when you have gone somewhere far? I am sure most people have done it before and I don’t think anyone likes it. For me, I don‘t just dislike it, I would say that I “hate” it. But now, after I went on a …

You know, my mum asked me to do something I really hate. She asked me to shave all my hair and eye browns off. She said I have to put on an orange robe and not wear any underwear too. Do you want to know why? She wanted me to become a novice monk for my great grandmother (on my father‘s side) who died recently. My great…

Here they go again, another new law to stop teenagers like us having our fun. The interior minister is bringing out a new law to stop people under 20 years old going in karaoke booths. They said that they are afraid about them doing something they shouldn’t do in the booth. Most…

The big day has come at last. The day I am going to have my own motorcycle. I rang my aunt to find out about the best day and time to buy a motorcycle. She said the monk told her that I could buy it any day but it has to be convenient for me, nothing …

Well, I am ready to buy a motorcycle now but there are a couple more things I need to sort out. One is what day and what time is the best to buy it. For this one, I asked my aunt to do it for me. She asked me about my birthday and what time I…
