General Admission
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 15/02/2019
» It's only February and we're already bombarded by tonnes and tonnes of announcements for concerts and festivals, spelling out doom for our wallets and putting our time management skills to the test. To celebrate the occasion, Guru has compiled simple survival tips for concert and festival-going needs in order to have the best time. What good would it do if you're not prepared?
Talking heads
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 28/09/2018
» In most countries, negativity towards mental health and depression still looms large, casting doubt and uncertainty for those who suffer from the common yet complicated mental illnesses to talk about it. "Crazy" or "insane" are words often used for such people, and because of the shame and stigma attached to mental health, it prevents most from seeking professional help. However, several groups and projects have been established to help gain a better understanding of what such people go through, and to raise awareness. Knowing what to say to someone who is depressed may be difficult, but these groups have provided a platform for those wanting to help and more so for those who need help.
Smart up

» Here at GURU, we love our smartphones. As we live in an age where one wonders what would we do without our handheld devices, people in the technology world are constantly developing apps to make our lives easier -- with our phones. We've saved you the hassle and created a list of free-to-download apps that are useful in the Big Mango -- kind of like a Swiss Army knife for the techie (okay, so maybe your phone can't cut things).
Bangkok checklists

» Bangkok can have its own quirks and idiosyncrasies when you decide to do something. Let's just say that things work a little bit different here when you encounter certain situations. Whether it's deciding when to hail a motorcycle taxi or designing your new restaurant, there are a few things you need to know before going all guns blazing. As we are not called GURU for nothing, we have created a handful of checklists for the uninformed to get you prepared to navigate the Big Mango.
Concert peeps
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 16/02/2018
» Concerts are awesome. Here at Guru, we have been to a fair amount of live shows of our favourite artists and bands, despite the ridiculously expensive tickets. And with every concert we attend, we see and meet the same kind of people. From the fans that seem to know the lyrics of every song to the ones who just can't seem to put their phones down as they record every moment of the show. We took the time to list our favourite (or for some, least favourite) types of concertgoers in Thailand. All in good fun.
