Words behaving badly

» If the politicians and people of power here do anything well, it's finding the right euphemisms to spin "bad" terms into, well, "not so bad" terms.
Breaking tradition
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 15/07/2016
» Just when you think the golden soi has had enough of Japanese eateries -- who are we kidding, Thong Lor will never get over its obsession with sushi. Be it the traditional omakase-style or the fusion places where the chefs try to stuff as many artery-clogging ingredients as possible into a roll. Oh yeah, goose liver, fatty wagyu beef, caviar -- they're not trying to kill you or anything. One thing is for certain; if you've got raw fish and wasabi, Bangkokians will eventually find their way to you.

Ooh la la

» Do you know what it's like walking around EmQuartier with a hangover? It's like everything in there is trying its hardest to prolong your throbbing headache. You've got blinding bright lights, speakers blasting the sort of dance tunes that are way too chirpy for a weekday. And to top it all off, the overly-enthusiastic Uniqlo staff pushing you to take a goddamn leaflet.
Phuket On Point
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 01/07/2016
» Planning an itinerary for a modern-day traveller is no easy feat. One minute they expect to be thrilled and swept off their feet with adrenaline-filled activities and in the next, they expect to be lying in the sun doing absolutely nothing, exerting minimal energy, deciding which cocktail to have next or reapplying sun cream.
To health and delicious possibilities

» Gin was what came to mind when I first heard of Tonic. And as ironic as it sounds, I was rather glad to find healthy food on the menu instead of some strange infused-beverage crafted by a good looking bearded hipster. And 11am seems a bit early to start drinking on the job, even for me.
Bird of all feathers

» Last month, when Guru decided to check out an icy summer drink at a dainty eatery in Ekkamai, we didn't know that our attention would be completely diverted from the incredibly photogenic beverage to the amazing collection of curiosities that were on display inside.
Cruising through the jungle
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/05/2016
