Concrete jungle

» Living in Bangkok is like eating a durian — you either love it or hate it, but it's usually smelly. There are those who are Bangkok-born and bred and those who have travelled thousands of miles to live in the so-called City of Angels (or #CityofSelfies, which seems more appropriate nowadays). Don't be fooled by the beautiful temples and overpopulation of 7-Elevens, as living here is not easy and it takes a lot more than an ability to eat spicy food and knowing the BTS map by heart to be called a Bangkokian. Here are some tell-tale signs that you have what it takes to survive the city.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/12/2013
» New Year’s is time to look back at what has happened during the year that is about to pass. The media usually takes this opportunity to do a round-up of memorable moments. As an esteemed publication ourselves, we decided to do our very own recapping of 2013 (and because we’re too lazy to go out and find new stories). The year hasn’t been a thoroughly smooth ride but we were certainly never bored. Bye-bye, 2013!

» Bangkok life comes with its fair share of first-world problems i.e. "What restaurant should I go to for my two-hour lunch break?", "How can I get a taxi when the condo's security guard is sick?", "Is the number of my champagne-gold iPhone 5s auspicious enough?", "How should I direct my chauffeur to avoid traffic?"
Get smart?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/09/2013
» Last week Education Minister Chaturon Chaisaeng ordered officials to look into a report prepared by the World Economic Forum (WEF) that showed the Thai educational system was potentially left behind at the bottom among eight Asean countries surveyed (to be fair, the WEF surveyed 144 countries around the world and in certain aspects of education we're doing better than others). Our dad, the Bangkok Post, reported later in the week that the minister vowed to embark on efforts to improve the education system and that his ministry will make education reform a national agenda.

» EuroCave of Lyon, France, was the first to develop a refrigerated wine cabinet able to replicate the natural conditions of a chateau wine cellar, the Utopian environment for any wine. The advanced technology and hand-craftsmanship that go into every EuroCave are second to none, as is the uncompromised protection your wine receives. The result is superior taste, for both short- and long-term storage.
