» We are a few weeks into 2022 and I suspect many of us are still trying to grapple with the events of 2021. Heck, some of us may still be dealing with 2020! Time, however, waits for no one. We’re almost to the halfway mark of January (gasp) so we need to prepare ourselves for the rest of the months to come and if you don’t know where to start, Guru has you covered. From fun games that chillax you to getting the living daylights scared out of you to apps that could help your productivity, your health and even your love life, here are a few things to help you get on track.
To the extreme
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 26/11/2021
» Video games that are based on extreme sports seem to be scarce these days, a far cry from the days of the PS2 when titles like SSX and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater were common. Ubisoft's Rider's Republic seeks to bring back the adrenaline-filled, death-defying tricks into the lives of gamers. Though there are a few things that could be improved, the game does a great job of making players addicted to the rush of racing downhill at high speeds and could hopefully be the first of many extreme sports titles in the coming years.

» Cinemas are back! After another semi-lockdown that forced cinemas to close, we can finally enjoy a proper movie-going experience again. Sure, it might be capped at 50% capacity and you can only sit with one person beside you instead of the classic cinema experience of having your girlfriend on your left while a dude who munches popcorn loudly is on your right. Sigh, nostalgia! But we'll take what we can get for now. Though it's easy to simply go to the nearest mall to go to the cinema, we're spotlighting places that offer a different experience. These indie cinemas deserve as much love as any of the multiplexes do. After losing iconic places like Scala and Bangkok Screening Room, we should do what we can to keep these cinemas alive. Get the popcorn and settle in. It's time to go back to the movies.
From Italy with love
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 07/02/2020
» It seems a little odd when you first glimpse the exterior of the resto because you would think it was a legit Italian osteria found on the side of a cobbled road. But then you take a look around and realise you're in CentralWorld. Walking in, the resto does a great job of making you feel as if you are in Italy. While they do sell pizzas and other things to go at the entrance, going inside for a proper meal is where it's at because not only does the ambience transport you but so does the food.
Casually Italian
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/11/2019
» When people mention Italian dining, there might be a certain image that comes to mind: perhaps it's a little hi-so, maybe even fine dining and something that's saved for a special meal where you dress up all nice. Gigi wants to do the complete opposite.
A little wining and a little dining
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/09/2019
» Within Thong Lor 13 lies 13 Wine & Dine, aptly named due to the soi it's located in, as well as the fact that it was founded by 13 people who are passionate about food and wine. The dimly lit resto, which gives off seriously romantic vibes, is designed with a touch of subtle elegance in sleek black, almost pulling off a fine dining sort of atmosphere though they don't consider themselves fine dining. The bar on the first floor is beautifully lit and bathed in light while the second floor offers a quieter and private dining area, all while instrumental versions of songs from legendary bands like The Eagles fill the air. Now that the scene is set, onto the food.
Don't rain on my parade
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 19/07/2019
» The rainy season is in full swing and downpours are becoming more and more common, so us Bangkokians are either being rained upon or being beaten down by heat, so yay! While the rain (or the heat) tempts us all to lock ourselves up at home, that doesn't have to be the case. Rainy days don't necessarily mean bingeing Netflix shows (nothing bad about that though, you do you). But if you're getting a little bit of cabin fever and think that the pesky rain is keeping you from fun and entertaining stuff, think again. Guru has listed a number of indoor activities during the monsoons.

Pizza pundits
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/03/2019
» Who doesn't love pizza? If you say "me" then kindly be aware that everyone is judging you. Pizza is one of the most loved comfort foods and honestly, this circular pie of goodness and love brings such a smile to our faces every time we see it. Fortunately, Bangkok isn't short on restos selling pizzas and Bangkokians have a pretty wide selection of where to satiate our cravings. Whether your taste buds are wanting some traditional Italian pizzas or perhaps you want to feast on a full one-metre rectangular pizza with your buddies, you can get all these right here in the Big Mango -- you just have to know where to look. And that's where we come in. Rest easy, readers -- here are our picks of the best pizzas around the city.
New York style goodness
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/03/2019
» Authentic New York-style pizzas are in short supply here in the Big Mango. However, they're slowly but surely making their way into the market. Soho Pizza is one of the few places where you can get your NY-style pizza craving satisfied. Located on Sukhumvit 11, Soho Pizza is making the 18-inch pizza even more accessible to Bangkokians and we are eternally grateful.
