Mum's not the word
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 23/12/2016
» They say the eyes eat before the stomach. That's probably true, seeing as you most likely wouldn't feel the urge to tuck into something that looks like it's been spat out of a horses' mouth. Food that look great on camera have the ability to draw in hordes of people to try it out, even when it's the most mundane of things - like pad thai or a croissant.
Not your usual lunch ladies
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/09/2016
» Anyone who has ever worked or is currently working in the F&B and hospitality industry knows that the word "easy" is not a part of the job description. And anyone who says otherwise, is probably not doing it right. From dealing with difficult customers and unreliable suppliers to spending long hours on your feet in the kitchen working under tremendous pressure, there are a myriad of reasons that make working in F&B sound far from a dream job to most. But there are those few out there who welcome these challenges and manage to do it with a smile still intact.
Kayak through khlongs

» As adventurous as I like to think I am, paddling up and down Khlong Saen Saep is definitely not on my bucket list. The coal-black water brings back nightmares I used to have as a kid, about a man-eating Leviathan residing beneath its surface. Having said that, I do have a soft spot for water sports and discovering new places.

» Lo and behold, brunching is still proving to be a popular pastime for Bangkokians.
Stall standing
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/06/2015
» Following the heartbreaking news concerning the removal of food stalls on Sukhumvit Soi 38 (Bangkok's foodie paradise), many are distraught, with not a clue as to where our favourite food vendors (whom we love to hit up after a long night of fist-pumping) will relocate. As humongous malls and super-ultra-luxurious condominiums continue to expand and occupy every square metre of the city, it won't be long until we're digging into a B200 som tam on the 60th floor of some lacklustre, air-conditioned, concrete tower.
All aboard to stomach satisfaction
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/03/2015
» Bangkokians love two things: Instagramming daily meals and avoiding traffic-clogged roads. So we’ve decided to combine these two passions by hopping aboard the BTS to embark on an epicurean ride. Sure, the Skytrain is often freezing cold and overcrowded, but we appreciate the fact that it’s the most efficient way to chomp through town. Use our concise guide to eateries and hang-out spots that can be accessed by BTS, which every urbanite should visit at least once to get beyond the usual Thong Lor and Silom nests.
Winter pop-ups winter
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 28/11/2014
» Noticed something different about Bangkok? No, it’s not the traffic-free roads or that Thais have stopped taking photos of their meals before eating (ha! Don’t be ridiculous). We’ll give you a clue: it’s in the air and it’s making us a little less miserable. It’s the beginning of winter, or, as we know it — the extremely short period of the year when the whole country gets giddy over a two-to-four degree dip in temperature. Nevertheless, we’re going to take full advantage of this and guide you to this winter’s best seasonal pop-ups.
