Of art and alchemy

» If there's anybody in Bangkok who knows how to make a good cocktail, it's Vesper. Testament to this is not only the seemingly obvious, that they achieved 17th place in Asia's 50 Best Bars 2016, but the fact that they almost always find themselves completely packed out on a Tuesday night.
Brunch on the bright side

» Goodbye Rocket Coffeebar. Hello Siwilai Cafe. Although the swanky spot on the 5th Floor of Central Embassy hasn't exactly shed its skin -- having kept the cool interiors and casual vibe -- it has however, been given a new life in the kitchen.
Sibling power

» Paopanga "Pao" Siddhigu and Bussabhawan "Pook" Siddhigu are the founders of FITCRAZE (www.fitcrazeth.com), an online store for fashionable sportswear. But don't let their sweet-looking faces fool you — they have every intention of building their start-up into a sportswear empire. Pao ingeniously combines her experience in e-commerce with Pook's extensive knowledge of the high-end fashion industry and together they have created an online community catered to those who like to shop and share their passions for their active and fashionable lifestyle. Guru chats to the siblings to find out more about their business, the latest trends and which IG accounts to follow for some fitness inspiration.
Brain freeze

» Like that ice cream pandemic Bangkok was hit by a couple of years ago, the City of Angels now just can't seem to get enough of frozen yoghurt. With new stalls popping up everywhere and renowned brands planning for further expansion, Bangkokians can pretty much now get their froyo fix from every corner of the city.
Tea for me (and you, maybe)

» Afternoon tea in Bangkok often brings to mind posh hotels, an uptight atmosphere and a price tag that could have easily bought you three decent meals. And as decadent as they come, sadly not many are able to replicate the ambiance of classic British tea houses, nor have they found a remedy for the plague of crappy clotted cream and bland sandwiches.
Art on a plate

» If you're guilty of binge watching Chef's Table on Netflix or you like to indulge yourselves in watching food-related documentaries, shows and films, then perhaps we can all agree that food on screen looks seriously appetising. If you've watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi, The Great British Bake Off or that god-awful attempt from Bradley Cooper to play a badass chef in Burnt, then you'll understand.
Of rice and ramen

» The setting: Silom isn't shy of Japanese restaurants and ramen joints. Laden with hole-in-the-wall izakayas, tonkatsu dens and ramen stalls, you could do a Japanese food crawl just walking inside Thaniya Plaza. While office workers in other parts of the city enjoy their bowls of boat noodles, the Silom ones are probably tucking into piping-hot ramens during their lunch breaks.
Triple threat

» These three happy faces you see are the founders of TRIBE, the spanking new indoor cycling studio located in the bustling Ratchadamri neighbourhood. Business partners, they may be, but this trio have been friends since childhood. Their shared passion for spinning led them to create a totally new workout concept that was not only focused on exercise but also on building a community of like-minded individuals who share an interest in fitness, fashion and music. We caught up with Ploy Bhinsaeng, Pasu "Luang" Liptapanlop and Natapa "Joy" Sriyuksiri to find out more about the studio and what the best track is to spin to right now.
It's sunny-side up in Nana

» When I tell people I live on Soi 11, I usually get one of two reactions. It's either "Oh my god, how can you live there?!", or "So -- you can actually walk home from Cheap Charlie's, that's awesome." All in all, it's not a bad area. There are plenty of kebabs around and witnessing the walk of shame around 10am on a Saturday morning is always a treat. What is missing though is a decent place to grab brunch.
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.
