Let's Get Down to the Nitty Gritty
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 26/04/2019
» Going to music festivals may not be so easy as 1-2-3, a lot of prep is needed to get the most bang for your buck, especially when you have to handle travel expenses, accommodations and knowing what to pack for these festivities. While working as a sales executive by day and going to music festivals by night, Charlotte Houareau has taken it upon herself to set up The Nitty Gritty Guide To Festivals, an informative website where she provides detailed survival guides to music festivals across Asia to help out fellow music lovers and travelers be fully prepared when they attend and get the most out of their festival experience. We get down to the nitty gritty with the Bangkok-based French-British content creator, who quit her job to do this full time, on how she produces such helpful content.
Uplifting Journey
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 29/03/2019
» After DJing at friends' parties and weddings, John Budh, better known as Jonnie B, went on to become the founder of Trance Lovers Thailand, a community where DJs, fans and promoters can gather and share their love for the music genre. He, along with fellow local trance DJs have been responsible in organising trance events and booking international DJs to play at clubs and festivals. In addition, Jonnie B also manages Pure Decibel Academy, a music production studio that offers courses in DJing and electronic music production. He is developing the upcoming Dontri Festival, a music festival with seven stages that showcases the best Thailand has to offer in terms of electronic music — from electro, progressive, trance, to hip-hop, trap, hardstyle, etc. He talks to Guru about his love for the genre.

» Those who appreciate the world of art will find themselves busy in the next few days and weeks (and perhaps in many months time) as there are numerous art festivals and exhibitions around the Big Mango to pique your interest. Thailand is a melting pot of creativity and self-expression, with local and foreign talents displaying various works of arts from the use of simple objects to the more abstract. Without further ado, let's take a look at these creative exhibitions and highlight a few.

There is a lot of art to be seen and admired by just what these talented creators have produced, giving those who are interested an incentive to explore the Big Mango. The event, which took off on Oct 19, will end on Feb 3, 2019.
Beyond the ropes
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 19/10/2018
» In Bangkok's Charoen Krung area, tucked within an alley lies Maison Close, a dark bar/art gallery and home to some of the more uncommon tastes in art from abstract calligraphy to ero guro. However, as you enter the venue on some nights, art isn't the only focus but a blindfolded woman hung in suspension with ropes. The ropes have been tied up by a rope artist and her model serves as a canvas for elaborate and intricate patterns. Despite looking uncomfortable, the model, dubbed a rope bunny, is in a state of stillness and relaxation, with the ropes symmetrically wrapped around the curves of her body -- something beautiful or mesmerising. This is shibari or the art of Japanese rope bondage. Enter at your own risk.
Back in da club

» Attention, party people and night owls! Bored of the same old venues week after week? Wanna break the monotony from your usual hangout hotspots? Wish you had more choices rather than the usual clubs around Sukhumvit, RCA or Khao San? Fear not, Guru is here! I went around the Big Mango to find the newest clubs that are sure to keep your night full of dancing and drinking (responsibly)... for a fresh change.
