» In lieu of the opening of the Bangkok City Library (a four-story library that -- ironically -- is currently struggling to fill up its shelves with books), it's only fitting we celebrate the city's efforts to provide the public with something more useful than another condominium, shopping mall or public transport filled with new rail lines that don't interlink.
Samui's extreme escape
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/04/2017
» Some holidays should be spent being active and exploring new places, while others should be reserved for extreme relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. If you're after the latter, there's no need to look any further than here.
Taking the plunge
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 31/03/2017
» Isawan "Oil" Sutthinark may be a familiar name in the circle of Thai designers. And although we're huge fans of her super sleek handbags, recently we've been more drawn into her other new project, Suntan Tour (fb.com/Suntantour), a boutique travel company dedicated to free-diving. You may have seen some of her diving pics on Instagram and wondered how she got into the sport? Well, Guru's got you covered as we sat down with our favourite thalassophile to find out more about her unique tour and where, in her opinion, the best places are to free-dive.
For fusion's sake

» <b>The setting:</b> There are two types of sushi restaurants in Bangkok. Ones where they serve up omakase in a setting so fancy you're probably too scared to let a cough slip out; then the casual ones where you can pretty much rock up in flip-flops ordering salmon rolls stuffed with goose liver, with no one blinking twice. Yuzuki is all about the latter.
Rika, uncaged
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 03/03/2017
» Those familiar with the MMA scene in Thailand may have already heard of Rika Ishige. Her nickname, "The Smiling Assasin", should already give you a clue as to who she is. This chika isn't just another pretty face, she's also the first Thai female MMA fighter that will be competing at the ONE Championship (fb.com/ONEChampionship) happening next week. She talks to us about what it's like to date and train with her other half, what she thought of the Rousey-Nunes fight and the common misconceptions people have about MMA. Knock 'em out, Rika!
Ruck & Roll

» Now that the Super Bowl is over and Six Nations is back on, it's time to get stuck into rugby. You know, it's the sport where they pass the odd-shaped ball backwards and -- oh yeah, Dan Carter.
Hunting for rice bowls
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 17/02/2017
» For those of you familiar with poke, you'll know that this rice bowl trend has been fast and hard-hitting the East and West Coast of the US, as well as Australia. It's no surprise that this healthy option is quickly becoming the next big thing. After all -- what with the rise of clean-eating and the guilt-trips that we continue to inflict on ourselves every time we see those skinny b**ches in yoga pants -- this certainly makes sense.
Flip the health switch
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/01/2017
» The new year brings about so many idealistic goals and changes -- and from our own past experiences, let's just say that it's fairly likely that not all will be achieved by February. So we figured, instead of completely cutting out sugar or carbs from your diet, how about making a few healthy swapsies instead.
Hey, soul sister

» When Lezlie Harrison sings, she captures the attention of the whole room. We've had the pleasure of listening in on one of the nights she was performing and we fell head over heels with her sound and bubbly personality. Hailing from New York, she has returned to our beloved city and graced us with her original take on jazz, blues and soul music at The Living Room. Guru chats to her as she lets us in on her favourite artists, what she thinks about the jazz bars in Bangkok and a few of the non-touristy must-do's if we ever find ourselves in the Big Apple.
Moly says Moo
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 20/01/2017
» Dainty-looking gourmet pies probably come to mind when you mention the name "Holy Moly". And although we love their savoury and sweet offerings that are neatly packaged in delicious puff pastries, our recent visit to their new stall in Siam Paragon had us drooling over a new (albeit surprising) range of treats.
