Celebrating sisterhood
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 08/03/2019
» Festival du feminin is a growing global-awakening sisterhood festival, the 4th edition of which will be held in Bangkok on March 15-16. Founded in Paris, this festival is held in cities all over France and in French-speaking countries (Canada, Belgium, Morocco). It is rapidly expanding internationally (India, US, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong) with new projects commencing in Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya and the Middle East. Festival du feminin is a journey of self-discovery that allows women to feel, access and reconnect with the multiple facets of themselves, breaking away from the rigid expectations of peers, parents, colleagues, partners and society at large. Guru speaks to Sylvie Baradel, the Asia coordinator for Festival du feminin.

Life in plastic
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 22/06/2018
» Earlier this month, a whale was found dead in the southern province of Songkhla after coughing up more than 80 (count 'em! 80!) pieces of plastic bags. We pay the price for being heavy users of single-use plastic items at the cost of a life of one poor, innocent mammal that made national and international headlines around the world. It's a huge wake-up call for us to take immediate action and change our behaviour with the way we do away with our rubbish.

Outside, it is surrounded by a garden with mountains in the background, making it feel pleasantly faraway from life beyond the resort.
