Take a minute, change a life
Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 08/09/2017
» Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington -- a few of the high-profile names we've lost over the years due to suicide. But suicide is closer and more prevalent than many would expect, and it can happen to anyone.

Here are some of the mooncakes that shine the brightest in terms of flavour and packaging. *The following mooncakes are available until Oct 4 unless stated otherwise.

Thai-farang flavours intertwine
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 08/09/2017
» When I first reviewed Eat Me in 2011, the small eatery behind a stark greyish façade had already been in the business for over a decade. My initial impression then was on the fact that the homely establishment, which doubled as a restaurant and an art gallery, offered some of the city's tastiest dining experiences.

The dandy photographer
Guru, Published on 08/09/2017
» Whoever said you can't do it all clearly hasn't heard of this guy. Fashion photographer, humanitarian and now curator: Kanachai 'Kit' Bencharongkul is catching everyone's eye, and not just for his dapper style or envy-inducing IG account. Far more than a globe-trotting son of telecom tycoon Boonchai, Kit has proven himself to be a tireless and wholehearted worker. He has shot covers for magazines such as Lips, Monocle and E; hosted Who Are You on TV and launched his own sweater brand (@KitB_Brand) from which all profits go to charity. But that's not all. He is also the curator of the ongoing "King of Kings" exhibition at MOCA Bangkok, a photo exhibition in tribute to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. We asked Kit a few questions about his work, style and what curating this significant exhibition involves.

Anyway, here's Chimney Cake Wonderland
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 08/09/2017
» If you haven't heard, seen, or tasted chimney cakes, we don't blame you. But it's a completely different story in Hungary, where chimney cakes are basically everywhere and nothing new. However, Bangkok has been deprived of this European delicacy. Thankfully, Chimney Cake Wonderland is here to change all that.

Eat on. Game on.
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 08/09/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> It's a shame not a lot of people have heard about Hopeland. Within the offering of bars and restaurants at Thong Lor's 72 Courtyard, this one is at the very back on the the ground floor. At first glance, it seems to be your typical bar and restaurant. Lights in neon purple, steel tables, thumping music to get you going -- the usual. But don't judge a book by its cover. Hopeland does pride itself in its array of Korean dishes as well as its Tiki drinks, and we'll talk about that later. The thing that makes Hopeland special is its arcade games. And no, we're not just referring to those two arcade machines near the entrance and the kitchen where you can play games like Street Fighter and Tekken. There are also arcade games built into the tables. Yep, you read that right. While eating your food and nursing your drink, there's no need to get up from your seat; you can play some Pac-Man or Donkey Kong right there at your table. You can even take turns and play as two-players! You can game all you want, of course, but will you be feasting on good food as well? Or is Hopeland simply just another gimicky resto and bar? Read on.

Truly madly deeply from Italy
Special Publications, Published on 08/09/2017
» If you're the kind of cucina Italiana aficionado, like Luca Appino, who spurns anything inauthentic, you're likely already acquainted with the maverick restauranteur's eponymous "shop", or rather "Bottega" (level 2, The Terrace (Sukhumvit) 49, www.labottega.name / tel. 02 204 1731). After all, the awards-churning ristorante isn't a flavour of the month, but of a decade, having counter-intuitively thrived since opening just in time for the GFC in 2008.
