The year ahead
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/01/2021
» 2021 is finally here and we can finally put "The Year That Must Not Be Named" behind us! Though we're not entirely out of the woods yet, the fact remains that a new year means we can turn a new leaf and look forward to the things yet to come this year. Here is a list of things that are in store for us, which hopefully -- fingers crossed -- may actually take place this year.
The (sand)wiching hour

» It eludes me why many think sandwiches can't be a meal. Perhaps it's because the sandwiches we know are the ones bought at a convenience store, which have been refrigerated, then squished under a toaster for a maximum of three minutes and voila, you've got yourself a "sandwich" with barely anything in between. Notice the quotation marks? These "sandwiches" are a sorry excuse of a "sandwich". Fortunately, Bangkok is home to a number of places that does sandwiches properly -- sandwiches that will not just have you filled and satisfied but also have you coming back for more. If you want to get away from the usual rice and noodles, it may be time to jump on the bread wagon. Here are a few of the best sandwich places around the city.
Golden delicious

» The sweltering heat of Bangkok is becoming more and more unforgivable and we are seeking ways to relieve us from the hellish temperatures. Enter The Mango Garden, a dessert place in Siam Paragon to help us cool off in the most refreshing and delicious way. While this branch has been around for a year and a half, its first branch was on Phi Phi island. The brand also has shops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
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.
