Dragged by the heals
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 17/03/2017
» We did it. We've gone where no other BKK lifestyle publication has gone before for a story. We went drag. Nope, we didn't just stand on the sidelines, ask questions and admire. We went in, literally, as far as you can go, and experienced it first-hand for ourselves. And who else would we entrust with all the hair glue, glitter and lip-overlining other than the one and only leading Thai drag diva extraordinaire Pangina Heals.

We didn't start the fire
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/03/2017
» People, it's not even April yet, and the city feels as though it's been chosen as the launch site for the opening of the gates of hell. Stay cool and hydrated. Make this your daily mantra. This, we're serious about. But as you sip your sweet ice coffee under some air-conditioned refuge, we offer you a light-hearted recap of a few funny, exciting or random bits of news that are theoretical and totally scientific explanations of why this country is so ******* hot right now!

Wine Me Dine Me Indeed
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 13/01/2017
» <B>The Setting: </B>Cantina Wine Bar & Italian Kitchen graces Ari with its first trattoria, a restaurant serving up true Italian comforts. Managed by Soho Hospitality, the group that has also brought us Havana Social, Charcoal and Above Eleven, it's no wonder the interior of this cozy and casual little Italian spot is so on point. Candle-lit for its evening opening hours, the best date seats are near the windows or against the rustic brick walls. Winos, however, will demand for the tables at the base of the glorious wine cellar in the middle of the restaurant. To reach the top of this bottle library, you'd have to climb the wooden ladder perched against it, or swing from the chandelier from the second floor. We recommend neither. You should just ask the staff, unless the owner of the establishment Matthew Milotich is already grabbing you some of the good stuff. But no matter where you sit in this intimate setting, you've got a view of the wine and of chefs hustling behind the counter. Pizza chefs work in calmer situations up at a baking station on a more private second floor.

Brilliantly Basic
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 27/05/2016
» As depressing as it sounds, basic clothing is like that one underappreciated friend who's constantly got our backs. It may be because, individually, basic pieces are so underwhelming, possibly even unattractive, that we don't worship them like those unique, glamourous friends who may end up screwing us over when the tides change. Basic would never do that though, so this week we recognise the simple items we need in our closet.

A Frame Has No Name
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 15/07/2016
» We're not unimpressed by the option of frames and shades spectacle labels have to offer this season. Oh no, not at all. Just the names of all their fabulous products are kind of a downer when getting round to ordering new glasses: "I'd like to get the RX4246V please" or "the SPR 56S". Geez, even typing that felt like accounting. Wouldn't it be added value to the consumer's experience to have more relevant and memorable product names to recite with enthusiasm at checkout? That's why we decided to rechristen some of our favourite designer eyewear from this season. You're welcome.

Karma's on our Side
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/03/2017
» Her name draws immediate intrigue. On one hand, it's just a damn cool and contemporary name. On the other hand, knowing that she's repping Thailand in an all-female group exhibition celebrating women for the occasion of International Women's Day, we're curious of what themes and images this clearly multicultural homie will bring to the table. We spoke to 29-year-old artist Karma Sirikogar to pick her brains about feminism and also learn more about her background and style of visual abstraction.

A true renaissance man
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 13/05/2016
» Passionate about the field of design and educated abroad extensively, Kompit Panasupon never thought he'd wind up back in Bangkok, much less become a key player in his father's serious business of academia. MAC Education, which started off as a tutoring school in the 70s, has become one of the biggest textbook publishers in the country and is understandably a big responsibility. We visited the busy 31-year-old (and his two cats) to talk about his work and views on education, but in the process, unlocked surprising facts that reveal that he never really quit being a man of the arts.

Trippin' on Travelling
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 31/03/2017
» Songkran break is coming around and you know what that means. Besides fatally high temperatures and a three-day water war, for a growing number of Bangkokians, any impending long holiday triggers a visit to the likes of Skyscanner and Expedia for their next overseas adventures. If you're a Bangkokian who lives to travel and you're constantly max-ing out your annual leave to breathe foreign (and hopefully less polluted) air, see if you can relate to the 10 traits we've identified.

It's not all about the pancakes
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/02/2017
» <b>The setting</b>: Get used to knowing what Siam Paragon's North Zone refers to because that's where many new and exciting restaurants have been popping up, one of them of course being the famous Clinton Street Baking Company. The Bangkok branch may not be located in ideal surroundings, compared to the original standalone in Lower East Side New York, but efforts to emulate the vibes as close as possible are commendable. The diner is open before the mall, at 8am, same as the New York one. There's direct access via the cobblestone road between Siam Kempinski and Siam Paragon, so you can avoid stepping foot in the mall altogether. The red diner couches are there and so is the iconic red ridged storefront. Even the table setting, complete with a bottle of Tabasco, seems to be doing something purposely to make us feel nostalgic for US diners.

Actual goals
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 20/01/2017
» Resolutions, smesolutions, am I right? Do you find yourself setting them superficially year after year, only to carry them on to the next one? Or not even bother anymore? At the same time, you know goals are essential to achievements. So maybe what we all need is to have a real and open exchange about them.
