» Every chocolate lover's dream sits right on Rama 4 Road, in central Bangkok, as a tempting siren of indulgent calories, glorious unctuous fat and nutrient rich cacao, beckoning passersby into its velvety rich, uniquely decorated vices.Chocolab is cleverly at street eye-level, right next to the entrance of the chic, still relatively new Sofitel So Bangkok, and sets a proposition that is nigh-on impossible to refuse. All of its elements conspire to invite you in and keep you submissively captive, in its meltingly sensational choco-experimentation. Part cafe{aac}, part laboratory, all chocolate, Chocolab is a veritable chocolate cornucopia of the naughtiest, highly tempting kind.

Life, L. Bruce Kekulé, Published on 30/01/2012
» As the sun starts its daily ascent from the eastern horizon, the early morning air is crisp and cool. It's November and not a single cloud is to be seen in the clear blue sky. Heavy dew blankets everything in Mae Lao-Mae Sae, a wildlife sanctuary situated in the northern province of Chiang Mai. Mist rises from the forest as the morning heat builds. The scent from pine trees, some hundreds of years old, is refreshing. A sea of fog covers the lowland valleys and the view from the mountaintop is truly breathtaking.
Chinese life Cycle
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/01/2012
» For non-Chinese people, Chinese New Year (Jan 23) probably conjures images of dragons, lions and ang pao. But there is much more than simply these things to the Chinese way of life. You really don't know what goes on in the life of a Chinese unless you're born one. And, as the resident Chinese-descendant of the Guru team, I feel it's my duty to offer insight into the different stages of Chinese life in Thailand so you can enjoy the upcoming Chinese New Year like a true Chinese no matter what age or ethnicity you are. Kung Hei Fat Choy, everyone.
