Feelin' the physical format

» If you're a vinyl diehard in this city, then you probably know of Vinyl Die Hards record store - if not have already busted your bank account there. Located on Srinakarin Soi 44, the shop belongs to 25-year-old Saipin Korpenjawan, who pretty much does everything there, including melting scrap vinyls to save costs on light shades. (True story. Don't forget to look up.) As vinyl enthusiasts ourselves, we were more than thrilled to immerse ourselves in Saipin's world for a good browsing session and chat.

» What you don't know can't hurt you, but what you do know can lead to the finer things in life. This week in Guru style, we provide men who find themselves a little out of touch with style with a simple wardrobe checklist for catching up. Because the mere seven items of clothing on this list represent all you need to pass for "knowing something about dressing up".
Mad burgers

» In passing, you may mistake Street Mad for just another generic burger stand trying to emulate Murican fast food as authentically as possible. However, a good look at the menu and a little bit of insider knowledge will reveal this street burger brand's charm and sophistication.
Modern natives

» In Japan, a young person dressed in full traditional kimono in the big city on a regular day is no spectacle. Nor does there need to be a special occasion in India or Bangladesh to don a vibrant saree. So why in a country that far from lacks traditional culture and a city that loves fashion, have we shied away from the beauty and uniqueness of Thai fabrics and traditional style? I mean when was the last time you wore a proper pha nung or chong kraben?
Roads, actually

» Tests are supposed to measure what we know, or, more accurately, what we don't know but should know. That's why it's problematic when we're passing exams but failing in the real life situations those exams sought to mimic. This could easily be alluding to the shape of our national education in general, but we're directing our frustration to a specifically aggravating application of skill in this country: driving.

Hollywood hits home

» Hollywood is a truly fascinating global phenomenon. Just take, for instance, The Oscars. Every year, the whole world, so to speak, actively tunes in to ardently agree or disagree with America's ruling on the best factors of American movies.
In the swim
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 11/03/2016
» To look on the bright side of the perpetuity of Thailand’s “summer”, it’s always a good time to go for a swim. With such constant opportunity to soak in the sun, whether it’s at the rooftop infinity pool of your Bangkok condominium or on the beach of a beautiful Southern island, you don’t want your Instagram to make it seem as if you own only a stingy one or two swimsuits. Even more than that, you should want your swimwear to make a statement. Here are four homegrown swimwear brands with designs that will do just that.
Boteya's got soul
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 11/03/2016
» The quiet end of CentralWorld is making a comeback, with the renovation of Isetan's supermarket and the opening of a few new Japanese chains such as Boteya. Located right outside Isetan on the mall's third floor, this ready-to-eat teppan restaurant is quite secluded from the main hub of eateries at CentralWorld, but nevertheless catches your eye with its edgy, dark interior. As a stylish yet commercial diner, the layout is refreshingly simple. Through the large, open front, you can see that there are just two neat rows of tables leading to an open kitchen in back. No dividers, no mirror illusions or cheesy symbols of Japan --just clean, chic and modern simplicity.
