» Working in a traditional office setting is a thing of the past. Co-working spaces are on the rise and it has begun to change the way people work.

» Floral cafes seems to be on the rise (look no further than our cover story on floral cafes a few issues ago) and Too Good For You seems to be the next flowery destination for cafe hoppers. Of course, cafes such as these are not without its gimmicks and Too Good For You is, quite frankly, too good for us to be situated in a location where anybody can find it. Yes, this cafe is hidden deep within an old office building, namely the Mukda building in Sathon.
Come for the hooters, stay for the wings

» On the corner of Soi Thaniya on Silom Road is the newest branch of Hooters, sitting in what was once Flann O'Brien's Irish Pub. The American sports bar franchise, with its famous buffalo wings, beers and of course, Hooters Girls, is no stranger to the country as this newest outlet is the third in Bangkok -- the sixth overall in the country -- to be established. Curious customers who have yet to set foot in one of the eatery chains can do so now with ease as this branch is a few steps away from BTS Sala Daeng and a five-minute walk from MRT Silom.
Hidden in plain sight

» There is no doubt Thailand's nightlife is booming with bars and drinks with unusual names and concoctions. And speaking of which, for every new bar that opens, there has to be a gimmick of some sort to attract bar patrons. Which brings us to this week's cover story for which we went around the city looking for bars with hard-to-spot entrances. After constantly getting lost and double checking Google Maps on our phones, we managed to list four hidden (well not-so-hidden now that we're writing about them) bars for the adventurous bar hoppers who would like to do a bit of effort in getting a drink. Half the fun is discovering them on your own so we included an elusive metre in terms of difficulty finding each tavern, as well as providing a few hints to help guide you on your way. Whether you have already discovered them (shush!) or in need of a change of setting and have a sense of exploration with friends, then Godspeed!
Soft serve please

» With only a few minutes walk away from the BTS Ari station, Empty Tasty's small cafe is tucked within soi 1 of the Ari neighbourhood, between the local eateries and shops. Walking into the small-scale, black-and-white space, customers are greeted by owner Wachira "Pond" Laongtep, who invites customers to relax and enjoy low-fat, soft serve ice-cream after a long day of work or as a place to gather and chill out with friends and family.

Biker brunch
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 18/05/2018
» Food and vehicles may seem like an unlikely collaboration, but if prior efforts are of any evidence, it's that automobile/motorcycle cafes are no strangers to experimentation. From Ducati's concept restaurant a few years back in Thong Lor to Honda's recent collaboration with Greyhound at CUB House in Ekamai, these hybrid eateries are where diners have a meal while attending a casual motorshow. Sathorn's brunch cafe Luka has collaborated with BMW Thailand dealer MF Motorad to bring their second branch named Luka Moto, a cafe that aims to accommodate those with a lifestyle that relies on the need for speed. Having opened in March, the two-floor motorcycle-centric brunch spot is on the ground floor of The Taste Mall on Thong Lor 11, and is a haven for motorbike enthusiasts and brunch fans alike.
The aloha spirit

» After setting up booths in EmQuartier's gourmet market section and Mahidol University last year, Summer Bowl Hawaiian Cafe opened up their shop last month, a mere five weeks as of this publishing. Having met each other in Hawaii in 2016, founders Jean Patavinthranond and Tyler McGee wanted to bring a piece of the islands to Thailand, where Hawaiian food is a rarity. It is because of this that they gained inspiration to open up a Hawaiian cafe in Thong Lor.
