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.
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.

» 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 political roast

» The last few months left of the year usually welcome numerous dinner parties and gatherings with friends and colleagues. That is, if you're not stuck at the office finishing off all that work that's accumulated and sadly won't magically disappear. Head to another party and maybe it'll all blow over?
A scrub of coffee

» I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who can't function in the morning (or anytime of day for that matter) if I haven't had my daily cup of coffee. It's that caffeine kick that allows me to actually converse with my colleagues like a normal human being as opposed to a zombie that only grunts when it feels hungry.

» <b>The setting:</b> The opening of Habito Mall has encouraged many Bangkokians -- whose preference for dining destinations usually won't extend far beyond Thong Lor's reach -- to actually venture a tiny bit further down Sukhumvit Road. This spanking new community mall is basically a melting pot of various cuisines -- albeit all relatively familiar to our palate -- where you're guaranteed to find something for everyone.
Froyo on fleek

» Living in a city like Bangkok is a wonderful thing. Not only does the City of Angels bestow the divine gift of sweltering temperatures that result in constant sweat patches but she also allows the perfect opportunity for ice-cream and frozen treats-makers to try out their markets. After all, it's not like we're craving a hot bowl of soup whilst walking around in this sort of heat.
Muscles, measured

» I recently checked out BASE's signature group class "BASECAMP" which integrates both HIIT and strength training into each of their circuit-style stations. Getting the right balance between the two means burning fat, improving your cardio, building and sculpting muscles. Perfect for someone like me who enjoys the occasional run (and probably too much chocolate cake) but would probably never voluntarily pick up a dumbbell in the gym.

» From a food blog, to a cooking studio. Nhoi Ouypornchaisakul has eaten her way through America, written about everything from family recipes to local street vendors, worked in prestigious kitchens such as Nahm and Bo.lan, and co-founded Bangkok Bold Cooking Studio (503 Phrasumen Road, Fb.com/BangkokBoldCookingStudio) with Supanut Khanarak, the former head chef at Spice Market. Together, they teach Thai cooking classes and host private dinners in a chef’s table style that’s becoming extremely popular among the foodies crowd. She shares with us some of the misconceptions people (yes, even us Thais) have about Thai cuisine and if there’s really such a thing as “authentic” Thai food.
