The spaces between us
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/04/2017
» No doubt, Bangkok has its fair share of issues that hover over the urban landscape. From developers chasing out communities to make way for even more condominiums to the lack of greenery -- and don't get us started on the state of footpaths and the Jackson Pollock-inspired electrical wires we have proudly exhibiting all around town -- there's clearly a lot for our eyes to take in.
Hunting for rice bowls
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 17/02/2017
» For those of you familiar with poke, you'll know that this rice bowl trend has been fast and hard-hitting the East and West Coast of the US, as well as Australia. It's no surprise that this healthy option is quickly becoming the next big thing. After all -- what with the rise of clean-eating and the guilt-trips that we continue to inflict on ourselves every time we see those skinny b**ches in yoga pants -- this certainly makes sense.
Late-night nibbles

» Being one of this year's most talked about bars (and not just because finding the entrance proves to be rather difficult especially if you've pre-gamed elsewhere before), Rabbit Hole has without a doubt garnered much credit from cocktail-lovers. Thanks to the talents behind the bar that continues to deliver fantastic beverages and consistent service.
A feast for foodies

» Whether you're a burger fanatic who is frustrated over the use of processed cheese on top of your Wagyu patty, a steak lover whose blood pressure rises every time you have to explain what you meant when you ordered your rib-eye "bleu", or just an ordinary foodie who appreciates good food and good wine, the World Gourmet Festival (WGF) is truly an unmissable event.
Tipple your fancy

» Bangkok's nightlife has always enjoyed an abundance of variety. Whether you prefer sipping an overpriced cocktail on the 60th floor, sampling craft beers with the cool kids or getting trashed with backpackers on the kerbside at a 7-Eleven, this city's got you covered. Recently, though, BKK has stepped it up a notch, with brand new joints that offer a whole lot more than “black and coke” as a house special. This week, Guru takes a look at six of these watering holes and reveals what sets them apart from the rest.
Create a scene

» Maybe that secret bar, your favourite hideaway known only to a lucky few, is turning into a Thonglorite mosh pit. Or perhaps your eyes are finally giving in after an intense, five-hour competition with a blank Word document.
Find & dine
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/11/2014
» If there’s anything Bangkokians know a lot about, it’s shopping and eating. Now, there are places where you can actually do both (and no, we’re not talking about glitzy malls). We’ve rounded up mixed-use places where you can go to snack, and if you feel like it, browse and snap up cool finds — whether it be a designer dress, a vintage armchair or even a hipster bicycle.
Dining-in directory

» Spoiler alert: It’s rainy season; it’s chucking down like there has been a drought for two years and the traffic is just as painful to watch as it is to be stuck in. The chances of leaving the office by car and actually making it to dinner at 7pm on the dot is close to zero. And unless the new PM decides to add cars to his next ban list (along with shisha/hookah), commuting in Bangkok city is a painful experience that one must simply suck up and face (yes, weekends included). So to make life a little easier, and to help you continue to have the best eating experiences you’ve been accustomed to, we’ve compiled a list of places that deliver culinary treats and drinks for every occasion.
Hitting the 30s
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 15/08/2014
» Three sois in the heart of town have filled up with so many new restaurants and cafes we decided to designate it a foodie zone. It could be the fact that there’s no more space on Sukhumvit Soi 31 (if there was a Thai version of Monopoly, this would be Park Lane) and with Appia, Bella Napoli and Isao reigning supreme, diners can be seen queuing for dinner at ridiculous hours like 4:30pm. So what are new restaurants to do? Scooch down a couple of sois, it seems. We’ve compiled a list of new eateries in Sukhumvit Sois 31, 33 and 39 so you’ll be able to plan your whole day and night around this area and avoid having to curse and honk your horn at the non-moving traffic. Hurry on down before everyone decides to migrate to Sukhumvit Soi 41.
