Have food, will travel
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 19/07/2019
» Simplicity would be the best way to describe Herringbone on Sukhumvit 53. It calls itself a café most likely because it doesn't have that big of a space though it's comfortable to sit and move around. Inside are a number of small tables two people can dine at, as well as a beautiful wooden long table if you've got more company. But if the weather is nice, their outside seating is perfect, providing a peaceful garden aesthetic. You don't have to worry about cars either as there's little traffic on the soi. Now sit back and prepare yourself for a culinary journey.
Tea riffic

» Tea aficionados have a lot of places to choose from to satisfy their cravings and that's a good problem. Whatever variety you're looking for, there's a good chance that you're going to find it somewhere in Bangkok. Tea Stand 7 has jumped into the tea fray but surprisingly, they're offering stuff that I haven't seen before.

The AI game
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/06/2019
» Arthit Suriyawongkul has got a pretty impressive list of achievements that seems to destine him to be an AI expert. An alumni of Thammasat Univeristy, he got his Bachelor of Science in IT then went on to study Cognitive Science and Natural Technology at the University of Edinburgh. He returned to Thailand after the 2006 coup and was one of the people who lent his voice to help protest the Computer-Related Crime Act of 2007. He also got a Masters degree for Anthropology from his alma mater. Now, he is the AI Research Engineering Manager at Wisesight and is one of the people that helped develop a new social media analytic tool called "Social Seeing". With his degree and vast experience in IT, as well as being well-versed in all things AI, we didn't just talk to him about the new software he helped develop. We also talked about privacy in the social media stage and if it's at all possible that we'll be slaves to our AI overlords in the next few years or so.
The new gold
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 21/06/2019
» Ah, Bangkok -- the city of traffic, dangerous sidewalks, delicious street food, scammy taxi drivers and jumping-on-the-bandwagoners. Bangkokians love getting on the latest trend and craze, so when the salted egg phenomenon hit, it was only a matter of time before we were swimming with all things kai khem. Lo and behold, we are now living in the age of the salted egg. Everywhere you look, there seems to be a special salted egg dish or snack that you can try. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I get you. If you're wondering how the heck salted egg is a thing, I get you, too. I wasn't entirely sure myself. But in the spirit of top-notch investigative journalism that we are known for at Guru (wot?!), I decided to embark on a salty journey. For the sake of you, dear readers, and so that you don't have to gorge yourselves on everything salted egg, we present salted egg delicacies the city has to offer, with the real question answered: Yay, Nay or Meh.
Cool off!

» The rainy season may have already begun but when the sun comes up, it's the same old Bangkok heat that's beating down on us. Now we can all complain about how hot it is or look on the bright side instead: it's always a perfect time for ice cream. That's where Two and a Half can help you out.
The breakfast club
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 07/06/2019
» You've heard it countless times: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But most of us are content with having Mama noodles or a simple congee to start the day. Hey, I don't blame you. Some of us don't have the time or if you're like me, we just love our bed too much to wake up early. But here's a question: who said breakfast had to be limited to mornings? It's a bit confusing to think about it because if you have breakfast during lunch or dinner, doesn't that just make it lunch or dinner? Don't overthink it, you get what I mean. Eggs, pancakes, coffee and other breakfast dishes are great anytime of the day. Fortunately for us Bangkokians, there's a number of places all around the city serving up great brekkies. Slather on that maple syrup, dig into those waffles and chug down that coffee. It's breakfast time, people.
Get freaky

» The PS4 exclusive Days Gone has joined the fray of numerous zombie titles out there. But upon its reveal at E3 2016, it was pretty evident that it was trying to set itself apart from the pack, or should I say horde (wink wink). Question is, does it succeed?
Art architecture
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 24/05/2019
» To celebrate Central Embassy's 5th anniversary, New York-based design studio Snarkitecture has set up a minimalist yet fun art installation on the shopping mall's Ground Level. Dubbed Tilting Forest, the second installation by Snarkitecture after The Beach in 2017, it places a number of blue-and-white towering cones where people can wander about, get lost and even push the cones to move them as if they are swaying trees. Benjamin Porto, a partner at Snarkitecture, spoke to Guru about the project.
Quick & easy

» Mexican cuisine isn't new to Bangkok. It's pretty accessible and there are a number of different restos to choose from so it's not exactly something you have to search for. Bowlito sits comfortably in the middle of the cheap Mexican fast food eats and the expensive ones.
