Loud and proud
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 14/06/2019
» We've finally hit the half way mark of the year -- June and if you've been out and about, you may have noticed rainbow-coloured decorations (or at least rainbows on your Facebook newsfeed ) because we are in Pride Month. The month in which the LGBTQ+ community promote and express themselves and celebrate gender diversity and sexual identity. The gay pride movement is celebrated throughout the world ever since the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in Manhattan, New York, a pivotal event that led to creation of the movement for LGBT rights. Prominent figures in the community tell GURU what pride means to them and what are they proud. We've also compiled a few pride celebration events around the city that are worth everyone's attention.
On a sugar high

» I'm no stranger to cute cafes with their sweet treats and adorable aesthetics, and while I'm not exactly the target demographic for such places, I don't mind enjoying a dessert or two while I soak in the kawaii vibe and atmosphere. Therefore, as I stepped into Cotton Clouds with its pinkish charm and fluffy cotton cloud lamps, I was in for a very sweet treat.

Real Life Fantasy
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 31/05/2019
» When you were a kid, you probably have read countless fairy tales with magical lands and wondrous kingdoms. As a child, you would have dreamt of living in places that were possible only in the imagination -- beautiful gardens, charming castles and serene lakes. While you may not exactly live in an actual castle on a faraway land, Khao Yai's Hotel Labaris is the next best thing to living in an idyllic, fairy tale world. I visited this magical place to give you the lowdown on becoming king of a faraway land.
Meaningful Journeys
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 24/05/2019
» Tourism can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can generate profit for the economy while on the other it can exploit natural resources. This problem is all too relevant in Thailand but there are niche travel companies that offer unique experiences providing positive benefits to our culture. If you're bored of going to the typical Thai tourist spots and long to do things more than the average tourist, then look no further. Guru complied a list of travel companies making a difference in the country.
Hotel happenings
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 26/04/2019
» Looking to escape the summer heat? In need of a vacation from all the troubles you face at work? But where should you spend your next vacay? There's a boatload of hotels popping up in the country but even then one might feel overwhelmed with all the pre-planning, booking and packing you have to do. I mean, you might be bored of the same locations and recommendations given by friends and family or perhaps you are just indecisive and clueless about where to rest your weary head next. Fret not, as Guru has sought out the newest and upcoming hotels worth your attention. So mark your calendars. Holiday times are a go! You got less than 250 days this year, so there's plenty of planning to be made.
Hop Til You Drop
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 12/04/2019
» Established by the folks behind the Craftpital bar at W District, Hoppy HRS lies just past the open-air food court between BTS Phra Khanong and Ekamai, on the even side of the road. Inspired from their trip to Chicago and their love for street food in the region (namely hot dogs), owners Sahachol "Micky" Chairat and Phatphitcha "Minnie" Suksangwarn decided to create a bar that could serve as a casual hangout spot where their friends can gather after work and enjoy locally crafted beer and sodas, as well as hot dogs. The small and cosy space gives customers a chance to relax on the couch near the DJ booth and sing their hearts out to 80s-90s alt rock. Anybody up for some karaoke to songs by Oasis?

All You Need Is Scone
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 15/03/2019
» What better way to enjoy a scone than fresh from the oven? These small biscuit-like cakes have always been a staple in the UK afternoon tea sets and have been ingrained in my travelling and studying experiences there. So, of course, being back in Thailand, if there's one thing I miss, it is a good scone. Located in the busy streets of Ari, Witty Ville aims to give customers what they want -- a well-made scone.
