» New kinds of work are created in society all the time, but few are as intriguing or bizarre as being a rent-a-person. To be very clear, this job only requires the person to accompany their client for a portion of the day and does not entail any kind of romance or physical contact. Guru has spotted three individuals engaging in such work and asked for their views on being a rent-a-person.

» Nestled inside a residential village off Rama IX, the whitewashed two-storey house gives the impression of a Greek restaurant that is fresh and contemporary-looking. Inside, the gleam of brass light fixtures against bleached stone walls creates a classy feel; while dark wooden furniture and granite floors tone that down a little for a casual, homey vibe. The scheme of ocean blue runs throughout the place in the form of comfy cushions and blue glassware, which help bring a touch of flair to the rather neutral-toned dining room. The restaurant is spacious, with space for 100 diners. However, this doesn't mean reservations are not needed.

Over the recent years, such places have been popping up more and we hope they continue to. Guru has scoped out some of Bangkok's most admirable, century-old homes to discover the stories behind them.
