Real Life Fantasy
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 31/05/2019
» When you were a kid, you probably have read countless fairy tales with magical lands and wondrous kingdoms. As a child, you would have dreamt of living in places that were possible only in the imagination -- beautiful gardens, charming castles and serene lakes. While you may not exactly live in an actual castle on a faraway land, Khao Yai's Hotel Labaris is the next best thing to living in an idyllic, fairy tale world. I visited this magical place to give you the lowdown on becoming king of a faraway land.

» Looking to escape the summer heat? In need of a vacation from all the troubles you face at work? But where should you spend your next vacay? There's a boatload of hotels popping up in the country but even then one might feel overwhelmed with all the pre-planning, booking and packing you have to do. I mean, you might be bored of the same locations and recommendations given by friends and family or perhaps you are just indecisive and clueless about where to rest your weary head next. Fret not, as Guru has sought out the newest and upcoming hotels worth your attention. So mark your calendars. Holiday times are a go! You got less than 250 days this year, so there's plenty of planning to be made.

» 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.
Celebrate Life
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 31/08/2018
» The Nikki Beach group of hotels and resorts has long been a holiday destination for people looking for fun and relaxation, with locations all over the world, including the USA, France, Spain, Greece, the Caribbean, Monaco, Turkey, Italy and Thailand. In Koh Samui, the high-end beach club has been labelled as "The Sexiest Place On Earth", where Nikki Beach combines music and entertainment with privacy, delectable food and drinks and stunning sunset views of Lipa Noi beach (assuming it doesn't rain). Last month when the resort held a special event, I decided to get a taste of Nikki Beach's celebration of life.
The co-working movement
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 10/08/2018
» Shared workplaces or co-working spaces, have changed the way people work and collaborate with each other, offering flexibility, opportunities, networking and even relaxation in ways a traditional office cannot. There is no doubt that there has been an abundant amount of such communal spaces in Thailand (look no further than our cover story on co-working spaces a few issues ago), which means that various start-ups and businesses have begun to change the way they operate. JustCo, headquartered in Singapore, is a leading provider of co-working spaces and opened their first co-working centre in Thailand in May. Their first space, which is two-storeyed and is within the AIA Sathorn Tower office building, has attracted potential clients with their vibrant setting, casual and cosy ambience and creative lighting designs. We chat with Kong Wan Sing, founder and CEO of JustCo, on why such spaces are in demand and expansion plans.

» Brunch on a hot Sunday doesn't have to be a boring affair in the blistering heat. It can be poolside while you sip on white wine as the DJ plays breezy tunes.

» The latest in a long line of hotels and resorts from Holiday Inn has arrived in Hua Hin, having opened its doors on Dec 6 last year. Known for being the tallest building in the district, as well as being Asia's first waterpark resort, Holiday Inn Resort Vana Nava Hua Hin is a destination that is filled with relaxation, swimming activities and of course, astonishing views -- a definite highlight. A two- or three-hour drive from Bangkok is what it takes to reach this fun-filled resort.
Sip sip hooray

» With the first month of 2018 over, we hope that your year has not been chaotic. Therefore, a celebration is needed and drinks are in order. Sure, you can call up friends and chill out at your usual hangout spots this weekend, but perhaps it's time to find new places. Fret not as I have visited five of the newest bars around Bangkok for you to check out, get some nibbles and of course, sip on unique cocktails.
