The Polish Japanese chef
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/09/2017
» Polish Pawel Viktorek moved to Thailand this year in February, joining Zuma Bangkok as the executive chef. The izakaya Japanese restaurant with a fine-dining twist is world renowned, with branches in major cities and the Bangkok branch recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. And you may be wondering what a Polish guy is doing in a Japanese kitchen. Originally from a small village where Japanese food was unheard of, the 33-year-old chef cultivated his passion, fascination and deep respect for the cuisine over years of travelling to Japan in search for the best ingredients. We talked to him about his culinary journey thus far.

When Ahoi meets Aroi
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/09/2017
» <B>The setting:</B> A restaurant can be the accumulative result of the life-long journey of its creator, who may fuse what they have experienced and the different cultures they have been exposed to into the restaurant's making.

Envision a vision in pink
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 29/09/2017
» Pinkplanter X Bonca Cafe opened its doors about three months ago and it sits on the third floor of the Matchbox store, a three-storey wonder already pretty decked out in pink, with cool clothes and accessories to purchase. The pinkness goes to a whole new level when you reach the top though. The cafe itself is even more pink; pink chairs, pink walls, pink kitchen counters and to balance it out, there are fairy lights and green ferns hanging beautifully from the ceiling and walls covered in cutesy quotes such as "You had me at Aloha"; "Tropical Vibes"; "I Love You Like a Fat Kid Loves Cake" and our personal favourite, "I Love You Matcha". When we build our dream house one day not so far away, the cafe's theme is kinda the look we want to go for. Oh, and did we mention the place is bursting with pink flamingoes?

Some like it Siam
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 29/09/2017
» New things to do in Siam!? What an obvious story, we hear you say, dear readers! Another one about what's going on in the square mile of Bangkok's beating heart, which has been the epicentre of the city's art, culture and fashion scene since the 70s. Well, actually, new developments have occurred which simply cannot go unnoticed! And while researching the new, we found ourselves re-igniting that old flaming passion we had many years ago for the square. Some things don't change, and other things do, but it's safe to say that if you spend a day here, you'll locate that pulse that gives life to all your inspirations, be filled with new tastes and colours and perhaps pull an all-nighter working on your next big project. Read on to see why.

The Thailand Child Abduction Act: legal recourse
Business, Published on 29/09/2017
» What can one parent do if the other parent kidnaps their child and flees to Thailand? The response to this question before 2013 would have been, "nothing, except try to negotiate for the child's return". Even though Thailand is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, there was no clear domestic legal framework in place to deal with abduction by custodial parents prior to 2013.

Ooh la la, the real McCoy
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 29/09/2017
» Many eateries in this tropical Kingdom call themselves a bistro because it sounds French, trendy and inviting. Those wannabes tend to focus more on portraying the ambience and visual vibes of a Parisian joint rather than providing the soul of the real thing.

Ensconced in silk
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 29/09/2017
» Jim Thompson's new flagship store at Siam Paragon looks good. Really good. Gone are the ugly brown interiors and unattractive shopping bags that no one wanted to be seen carrying. Gone are the loud shirts and dolls that only tourists would buy as souvenirs for their friends and family. Investing in a whole new team to completely transform the brand, Jim Thompson has stepped up their game and seeks to bring the Thai brand onto the luxury world stage within a few years time.
