Guru, Published on 04/10/2019
» Many Latin-themed bars have popped up across Bangkok in the last few years, but Flamenco sets itself apart with an eclectic design that looks like an upper-class Spanish house.

There's also a greater focus on music with live-performances by different bands nightly. Check their monthly calendar to see if it's either swing, jazz or blues that'll take the stage the night you're planning to hit the club.

He's 20 now, and his aptitude and fine penmanship served him well during the 18 months he served in juvenile prison. He'd pen letters for prisoners and guards -- a skill and a favour earning him "an edge" in a place where edges save you.

» Without the beach the heat in Goa can be oppressive. But for us, there was no respite. We were hemmed in at Vagator, the venue of the second edition of India Bike Week, surrounded by ocher-coloured mounds on two sides and the closest beach many kilometres away. The dust and gravel festival grounds made it that much worse.
Publish and be damned
