» Brisbane is generally not the first city that comes to mind when people think of Australia. Tourists may even skip it altogether for a busier metropolis like Sydney or the artsy Melbourne. But a recent trip to this capital of Queensland became a revelation of what we've been missing out on.

After the shell is peeled, it reveals the thick, succulent pulp. The fruit is juicy and sweet, and the black hard seed is small. This longan is called phuang thong. It is the famous variety widely grown in the Ban Phaeo district in Samut Sakhon.

» Nakhon Nayok has long been a popular destination for day trippers due to its proximity to Bangkok. Waterfalls remain all-time favourite attractions among tourists. Yet, there have been some changes. The sight of many teenagers and low-quality tourists talking and singing loudly and heavily drinking is no longer common due to stricter regulations, including a ban on alcohol in the national parks like Khao Yai. Another change -- many more tourists opt for going to farms and reservoirs to enjoy stunning views, cycling amid nature and visiting temples to seek spiritual solace.

» Hooray. It's that time of year again, when we once more get to throw gallons of water around and cause talcum powder-induced asthma attacks on as many tourists as we can. To make Songkran more fun, Guru has come up with a definitive guide on the different types of hydrophobes you'll see — and the ways to get them (after all, it's more entertaining than hosing down someone who's already soaked from head to toe). Lock 'n' load those water pistols and fill up them buckets, dear readers — we're comin' in hot!
