Just chicken dinner
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/03/2018
» A favourite Thai street dish everyone loves is khao man gai or Hainanese chicken rice. It's simple and easily accessible thanks to the indomitable presence of Bangkok street vendors. The dish is also popular in Singapore and widely sold in food courts over there. It's a dish we see everyday and perhaps even eat regularly, but Sergeant Kitchen promises a premium version of the dish.

» Remember Nokia, the original sleek, cool and virtually indestructible mobile phone? The company that ruled the mobile phone industry in its heyday and gave us the game Snake right in the palm of our hands and also that memorable ringtone? For years after the smartphone came to being, Nokia disappeared from the radar. Now, they're making a comeback. The Nokia 8 is their most advanced model and though it may not match up with the likes of the latest releases of Apple and Samsung, it's a worthy and cheaper alternative.
I <3 Bangkok

» Ah, Bangkok -- the city where road laws are more like suggestions than laws, where the traffic is horrible, the air is polluted, where that Rolex you bought stops working the next day and where a "ping pong show" isn't a game of table tennis. There are many weird and sometimes downright horrifying things we experience living in Bangkok, like being stuck in a taxi with a perverted driver. But despite the many, many things we complain about, Bloomberg's Misery Index (which is a thing, you can Google it) has named Thailand "the least miserable country". In light of that, we've compiled a few reasons why we love living in Bangkok (we are aware we're focusing on Bangkok and not Thailand. We see you rushing to troll us, haters) to remind you to look at the brighter side and forget the fact that the elections are postponed again... Oops.
Taxi tales

» Ah, taxis. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Unless you live along the skytrain or subway station or you have the capacity and willpower to survive riding a bus, then taxis are the vein of your existence in terms of transportation. Sure, there are alternatives now like Grab and Uber (legality undetermined but hey, this is Bangkok), but for the longest time before those apps came to save us, we depended on good ol' taxis. Knowing that, we thought that each of us probably had a few interesting taxi rides and we decided to ask you to send us some of yours. You didn't disappoint. Here are some of our favourite Taxi Tales sent in by you.
Life cycle
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 23/02/2018
» Exercise is considered painful and off-putting for some people. In a city like Bangkok where stress can run high and traffic can eat away at your "me time", people find it hard to put a round in at the gym or are too tired at the end of the day. The cheap food all over the city doesn't help either. But Absolute Cycle is set to change your perspective on exercise with rhythm cycling, a fun and energising way to shed kilos. A special treat for Bangkokians is that Sunny Walters, a New York native who has instructed SoulCycle sessions in the US and has worked as a professional dancer for the likes of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, as well as appearing in the musical film The Greatest Showman, is serving as guest instructor for six months at Absolute Cycle. Guru asked her a few questions on rhythm cycling and what she's looking forward during her time in the City of Angels.
Let's get kark-y

» In the smog-filled, traffic-ridden city of Bangkok, things can get a little hectic in the lives of us, city dwellers. Crowded trains take a toll, being stuck on Sathon Road for what seems like days on end is infuriating and the daily grind of going to work can be tedious. Thankfully, there are places like KERK that offer Bangkokians a respite from stress-filled days.
