Breaking tradition
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 15/07/2016
» Just when you think the golden soi has had enough of Japanese eateries -- who are we kidding, Thong Lor will never get over its obsession with sushi. Be it the traditional omakase-style or the fusion places where the chefs try to stuff as many artery-clogging ingredients as possible into a roll. Oh yeah, goose liver, fatty wagyu beef, caviar -- they're not trying to kill you or anything. One thing is for certain; if you've got raw fish and wasabi, Bangkokians will eventually find their way to you.
Winter Wonderlands
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/11/2015
» Can you feel that? The winter breeze is finally passing through Thailand. Well, either that or you’ve just walked through 7-Eleven’s doors. Nevertheless, it’s nearly December, and what does this mean? Scouring Uniqlo for fleeces on discount, “sick” day planning, last-minute reports, fantasising about what to do with your year-end bonus and, of course, checking which parties are worth hitting up. To save you some time, Guru has compiled a guide to festivals and fairs that will take place before the new year arrives. Sobriety, of course, is not guaranteed.
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.
