» Akkarin "Rung" Puri spent almost half of his life behind bars. Instead of hiding his dark past, he's open about his ex-inmate status and uses it to inspire convicts to change their way and campaign for understanding and, more importantly, second chance for them to be part of society again. A guitar maker (Be Light Guitar; fb.com/belightguitar) and speaker at prisons, Rung talked to us about his long road to redemption.

When Ahoi meets Aroi
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/09/2017
» The setting: A restaurant can be the accumulative result of the life-long journey of its creator, who may fuse what they have experienced and the different cultures they have been exposed to into the restaurant's making. This is the case of Pirate Chambre, which is owned by Na-chanok Ratanadaros, aka chef Pirate G. He's the CEO of G Enterprise & Co. but you may know him more as the man behind Chingcha Charlee restaurant and the now-defunct nightclub Fallabella.

Guru's guide to street food
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/06/2013
» CentralWorld is buzzing with more people than usual at the moment because a fair dedicated to street food is being held there until Sunday (see Food, p20), attempting to cement Thailand as the hub of street food. The fact is we can celebrate street food all year round given the sheer number of food vendors in this city.

» Romance and Valentine's Day usually conjure images of hearts, roses, chocolates, teddy bears, more roses, and all that lovey-dovey stuff. But in Thailand, love can also entail consuming weird stuff in the hopes of pleasing your lover in bed, asking supernatural entities to help you get laid, and carrying explicit-looking charms on your body. We take a look at some bizarre things people do for love in Thailand to get you ready for the upcoming Valentine's Day.
What's the big Idea?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/10/2012
» We're increasingly sure that becoming an adult in Thailand doesn't require passing any tests in common sense. The number of grown-ups we've seen come up with a plan to achieve something through flabbergasting means is more flabbergasting itself (doubling the flabbage factor). With all due respect, here are our picks of the most questionable ideas ever cooked up in the Kingdom. (If nothing else, they should make you feel good about your plan to get off work by rubbing your face with a sick kid, or something equally silly).
