Tanwarin's latest a delight, full of tantalising surprises
Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 26/09/2014
» There's a turmoil of emotions, daring and unexpected in Tanwarin Sukkhapisit's latest comedy-drama Love Sud Jin Fin Sugoi. This film (whose title is a linguistic potpourri, an English word mixed with Japanese and Thai slang terms) is packed with familiar faces (the Thai cast members) and also features an appearance by Japanese rock star Makoto Koshinaka. It focuses on the tangled relationships among a group of friends, most of whom seem to be harbouring a secret crush on another member of the group. Then there's the added complication of gender: in this film, gender is not an obstacle automatically preventing one character from being strongly attracted to another.

Sets to impress
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 26/09/2014
» And Bo.lan has a new home. The dynamic culinary duo behind the original incarnation over on Sukhumvit Soi 26, Duangporn "Bo" Songvisava and Dylan Jones, have transplanted themselves to Soi 53 and spread out into a more spacious (and stylish) premises not far from the Thong Lor BTS. While they had plenty of renovations to do, Dylan assures us, it seems the place has been there for decades with an already settled feel. Again, it's a house set among a well-kept garden — this time with a pool — that colour the main view and light source of the moodily-lit house. It seems they are enjoying the bigger space, particularly in the kitchen apparently, again creating a transporting effect through the portal driveway entrance to the secluded surrounds. There's enough room for 60 diners (80 at a push), with two private rooms available. They are pushing the environmental aspects of the place, (which is still largely overlooked in this city of appearances), reducing waste, installing LED lights and recycling organic matter and grey water. They are also moving towards being carbon-zero and hope to achieve this by 2018, which by then the city should have a better handle on such issues (and the real definition of words such as "farmer's" and "organic"). During our mid-week afternoon sitting, many local Thong Lor ladies were lunching with their well-dressed mums, but things get decidedly more moody in the evenings with all the mood lighting and timber, and the crowd morphs accordingly. Tunes sound like reminiscent of a molam Paradise Bangkok party, right in line with the other sensory stimulus.

Gastronomes & gamers
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/09/2014
» Game and burger buffs can have both of their appetites satisfied in one sitting at Game Over Lounge. The new "electronic playground" and cafe opened last month to serve gaming sessions via PCs, consoles, pool table and board games with a big side of famed burgers (because you know how tiring a virtual shoot-out can be). You see, the kitchen part of the place is called NERD and run by the beacon-of-burger food truck Daniel Thaiger. Your dream has come true, people! Finally a place where you can wait for one of their burgers and eat it in an air-con space! Anyone can eat at Game Over just like you do at a restaurant but, if you want a game on top of your food, you'll have to pay extra for membership and hourly rates. The impressive interior of Game Over is a far cry from your average internet shophouse where kids go to play games. It feels like you've walked into the man cave of a really cool guy who has games set up for friends. The patrons are gamers, expats and existing fans of the famous food van. And it turns out that Game Over takes both games and burgers seriously.
