Wedded to Facebook
Life, Catherine Faulder, Published on 14/08/2015
» If Facebook was a person, who would it be? My answer: he is my husband and we are in a dysfunctional marriage. Having never been married, you may be disinclined to read on. It was an arranged marriage. I didn't know what I was getting myself into 10 years ago, aged 15. I was too young to understand the weight of what I was signing up for. It's not even like we dated, I couldn't suss him out before my username and password tied me down to our contract. My vows? I do, Facebook, I do… even though I don't really know you!

Sweet-tooth Sundays
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 08/12/2017
» Right on the corner of Thong Lor 21 you'll find Viva Market Thong Lor, a delightful restaurant and grocery store to walk past in the very least, and sit in at the very most.

Mad about Marcel
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 22/07/2016
» You're stepping into the cozy abode of a Parisian hipster when you enter Marcel. The black and white chequered floor, the French blue walls, the light wooden tables and the sound of Prince all align together nicely, inviting you to stay. Books and newspapers line the bottom of the staircase, as do Polaroid photos of the restaurant's regular attendees, Marcel's extended family. This family has grown bigger in the last year since its opening.

Directing Twelve Angry Men
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 07/10/2016
» Loni Berry, the man behind Bangkok's multicultural, English speaking theatre, Culture Collective, is set to be putting on Twelve Angry Men towards the end of this month, the first of a string of plays the theatre will be staging this season. We're uber keen to see what he's got up his sleeve for this one, considering his Lisbon Traviata won Best Production at the 2015 Bangkok Theatre Festival. And personally, we did love his musically witty Death of Miss America. From Asian stereotypes and homosexuality, to nudity, Berry's performances always tackle prickly topics that make viewers stop and think. We thought it's wise to dig a little deeper into the artistic director who's making such great, mind-altering and risky moves for theatre in Bangkok.

Colours, layers and imagination
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 12/08/2016
» New York artist Gary Gagliano has been wowing Guru with his art for many years now, creating visionary pieces that make you forget about this reality and almost pull you to step into new dimensions. Think alien molecules, outer space and breathing goblets of funky colours. He recently joined forces with his American friend Chip Seven and they are currently exhibiting some pieces at Knock on Thonglor that you should totally go check out.

The Doggfather
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 12/08/2016
» Quite frankly, it's a surprise no one thought of opening this before. The stereotypical Thai street mutt we so often see snarling its teeth as it wanders the streets, used as a mascot for a hot dog? How could there have ever been such a thing as a hot dog in Bangkok had it not always been referred to as a soi dog?

Sweet, savoured flower power
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 15/07/2016
» If Cath Kidston opened a cafe and it had a Bangkok branch, this would probably be it. Flavors Cafe, a little darling of an eatery, opened up seven months ago on Thong Lor 20 right opposite the Cheesecake House & Restaurant. The cool grey walls, the Grecian arched windows, the flowered décor and the cute little garden out back make you feel as if you're sitting in a frightfully English country cottage. And the food's going for the uber home-cooked feel too.

This editor may just change the fashion world ... forever
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 04/11/2016
» Sienna De L'Orpaz is Editor in Chief of The Editor Magazine, an intercultural high fashion magazine that is set to be opening its pages — print, online and digital — to Bangkok and the world in January. We felt it necessary to catch up with Sienna as this will be no ordinary magazine, whatsoever. With the aim of removing the bars through which the fashion world has caged us, Sienna feels it's The Editor's responsibility to "break the norms traditional media has bound us by and set unconventional boundaries for beauty and fashion through diminishing all conformities and social norms by including all ages, sizes, nations and cultures". Seriously, wow. Read on, guys.

Collect/saves the day
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 09/09/2016
» Jay Sriyuksiri leads quite an interesting and full-on life. He's a part-time house DJ that goes by the name Sarayu, holding a residency at Beam and his newly founded night, UNST (UNST UNST); he's been "trying" to produce music for over a year now; he works with his family business like a good boy most of the time and he has also been involved with something a lot more interesting as of late. A project called Collect/Save, something he set up with his friends, aimed at helping Bangkok's local electronic music community become more knowledgeable in what matters to them most — music — through a series of workshops and production master classes led by industry experts and like-minded individuals.
