Bangkokian Phones
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/02/2017
» We're all familiar with the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover", i.e. don't judge people by their appearances. Well, we totally agree. It's 2017, so judge them by their phones instead!

The TT Diaries
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 10/02/2017
» Travelling over 3,000km in a car isn't that impressive. Travelling over 3,000km in an auto rickshaw, however, is something else entirely. This was exactly what the TT Ladies did. The three young women from Thailand — Bom Plengpanich, Aei Jinapuck and Helen Stettler — travelled to India to take part in The Rickshaw Run to raise awareness for domestic abuse in Thailand. The entire journey was filmed by the ladies themselves. The first two episodes are already online, with six more to be released. Guru was able to sit down with one of its members, Thai-Swiss Helen Stettler, to find out more about the experience.

Let's get freaky
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 17/02/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> A little way inside Sukhumvit Soi 39 lies this Aussie-born restaurant that opened its doors one month ago to the Bangkok public. Already having restaurants in Malaysia and Singapore, Pâtissez's location here in Bangkok gives off a very chill vibe the minute you walk in. With its homey décor and atmosphere, you can't help but settle in and just relax. You're greeted at the door with the words "#FreakShakes" which we suspect is a subliminal message to remind you later of what to order. The sign above the counter of the kitchen tempts -- nay, dares -- the restaurant's customers to do one thing: "Get your freak on". But really, we can't help but do just that when you see the spread that the restaurant has to offer.

I'm Batman (kind of)
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/03/2017
» This past month, we saw the release of what was possibly the best movie featuring the Caped Crusader: The Lego Batman Movie (yeah, move over, Christopher Nolan). While we everyday people don't have the skills nor the money to become the Dark Knight, these gadgets may bring us ever-so-slightly closer to being the masked vigilante Bangkok needs. Not included: Batsuit with batnipples and tragic origin story.

Let's get high
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/03/2017
» Many restaurants aspire to give their patrons an elevated dining experience, and in some cases, this has been taken literally. Bangkok is home to a vast array of rooftop restaurants and bars, some of which are well-known, go-to places for a dinner with a magnificent view of the city's skyline. This week, we have rounded up a number of relatively new rooftop restos for you to check out and enjoy. Protip: don't look down. Seriously.

Living the life
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 17/03/2017
» It's typical nowadays to hear about an up and coming young artist, and if you think Ananya Birla is just another one of those, then you are sorely mistaken. True, the 22-year-old from India released her single, Livin' the Life back in November. But that's not all there is to Ananya. At 17, she founded Svatantra Microfinance, all the while studying at the University of Oxford and playing gigs. She also co-founded two other companies. The artist/entrepreneur was recently in Bangkok working on the remix of her single which is now out on iTunes and Spotify. Guru sat down with her to ask her some questions, while simultaneously feeling guilty that we haven't done half as much with our lives.

Nerd haven, food heaven
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 17/03/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> The Setting Paradise comes with different names for different people: Heaven, Shangri-La, Krispy Kreme, you name it. But for Bangkok's gamers and nerds, it's called Game Over. Equipped with consoles, PCs, and a huge assortment of board games and party games, Game Over has been a cool hangout place for both gamers and noobs alike. Recently, it held a grand reopening and added some perks to its already impressive location. There's an extended "club area" for those who want thumping music to go along with their night as well as a playground area for the younger ones who don't really know their way around a PS4 yet. But the highlight of all these additions could arguably be the fact that they now have a bar and a kitchen that allows them to have a full-blown menu of utter deliciousness.

Of Churros and Ice-cream
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 24/03/2017
» When we first heard of Xugar Thailand's concoction of churros and ice-cream, the first thing that came to our minds was, "Why in the world didn't we think of this before?" It seemed like a no-brainer and an absolutely brilliant idea. Xugar Thailand brings it to life in a deliciously wonderful way.
