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.
Moly says Moo

» 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.
Handpicked hamper

» If we had it our way, the government would reconsider its stance on free speech and developers would stop building so many bloody malls. But since that's not how the world works (or at least Thailand anyway), we think it's probably a better idea to save our breaths, shut our gobs and indulge in the finer things in life instead. After all, it is the holiday season, which automatically means that calories don't count and three glasses is a perfectly decent number of vino to be had.
Sugar, ice and everything nice

» Good news, people. The National Research Department of All Delicious Things That Are Apparently Bad For You has made a new scientific discovery: low-calorie diets are actually bad for you. It is, in fact, better to consume fatty, sugary, carb-loaded foods, such as doughnuts, ice cream cake and chocolate frappes. Y'know, like how the Neanderthals were doing it for thousands of years before the vegans took over the world with their quinoa and chia seeds?
Bangkok food fight
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 08/05/2015
» As with the sweltering -- and constantly rising -- temperatures, Bangkok's culinary scene continues to expand (in direct proportion to the size of our bellies). You've seen the queues at snack shops currently on everyone's must eat" list. With so many of them around, it's a surprise we ever get anything done. But starve not dear readers, Guru has scoured the city to put some of the most raved about food items to the test.
All aboard to stomach satisfaction
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/03/2015
» Bangkokians love two things: Instagramming daily meals and avoiding traffic-clogged roads. So we’ve decided to combine these two passions by hopping aboard the BTS to embark on an epicurean ride. Sure, the Skytrain is often freezing cold and overcrowded, but we appreciate the fact that it’s the most efficient way to chomp through town. Use our concise guide to eateries and hang-out spots that can be accessed by BTS, which every urbanite should visit at least once to get beyond the usual Thong Lor and Silom nests.
Winter pop-ups winter
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 28/11/2014
» Noticed something different about Bangkok? No, it’s not the traffic-free roads or that Thais have stopped taking photos of their meals before eating (ha! Don’t be ridiculous). We’ll give you a clue: it’s in the air and it’s making us a little less miserable. It’s the beginning of winter, or, as we know it — the extremely short period of the year when the whole country gets giddy over a two-to-four degree dip in temperature. Nevertheless, we’re going to take full advantage of this and guide you to this winter’s best seasonal pop-ups.
