Stay In, Stay Safe

» Everyone would agree that staying in is the best policy at the moment given that the current surge of Miss Rona in Thailand is most severe, yet. In good conscience, we don't want to encourage you to go out. But fret not, as Guru has once again saved the day with ideas to help spruce up another bout of self-isolation during this quasi-lockdown.

» Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa is a piece of tropical paradise truly realised. With its spacious villas, beach-side location, private and untouched beach, several F&B outlets, a spa, lush surroundings and various on-site activities, it has all the ingredients to make you want for nothing during your stay here.
No sugar, no cry

» Bangkok has seen many alternative diets. You can go vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free and now you can add ketogenic diet to the healthy/picky bunch. Ketogenic or keto for short, is high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrates. The diet is used to treat epilepsy but it's also known for forcing the body to burn fat for fuel rather than carbs. If the ratio between fat, protein and carb of the diet is a bit much to wrap your head around, then you should consider a visit to Club No Sugar for an introduction. It's not just a keto-centric restaurant but feels more like an institute of sort. Launched in April, Club No Sugar stands where Green Republic restaurant was and the structure remains pretty much the same (Rama III is my turf).

Cafe with a good cause

» It's not everyday that your meal comes with a healthy helping of social awareness. To my best knowledge, Dine In The Dark at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit hires blind staff, while KFC employed deaf staff at three of their branches several years ago.

Swiss It up

» The word "Pattaya" may conjure up images of debauchery and a less-than-pristine beach, but that doesn't have to be the case. Take Movenpick Siam Hotel Pattaya, which is located 15 km south of Pattaya on Na Jomtiem Beach, as an example of a breezy, parent-approved getaway. We check out the recently-opened hotel to tell you 10 things you need to know before checking in.
Tasty Trivia

From protective hand to mouth

» You probably already know Silom as Bangkok’s CBD, or central business district. But the area is also a strong contender as the city’s CFD — central foodie district. Think about it, people. On this very same street, you can eat fermented pork spicy salad from an auntie hawker, chow down on a street-side khao man gai, take a coffee break at a fancy cafe, sit down at an international hotel buffet, undertake a hearty bout of drinking at a bar or dine in style at a rooftop restaurant. And that’s not including the variety of options in neighbouring Surawong and Sathon.
Healthy without hassle

» Between work, hitting the gym, checking Facebook, taking selfies, visiting malls and countless other activities in the life of a Bangkokian, you may be simply too busy (or exhausted) to make an effort to eat healthily. Also, who cooks these days anyway, right? If you find yourself in this situation, it might be worth your while to look into deliverers of healthy meal plans as the number of them seems to be on the rise.
