Seaside staycation
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 09/04/2021
» With no shortage of comfort, a stay at the seafront retreat of Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa is as uplifting as ice cream on a hot summer's day. Having just celebrated five years of being in operation, the resort continues to soar in popularity among families despite the pandemic. Solo vacationers and couples will also have an experience that is as sublime as the experience had by the kids doing cannonballs into the resort's pool.
Comfort given a mining twist

» When one pictures mining, the words luxury, refinement, beauty and utter relaxation are certainly not the first ones that come to mind. But these words aptly describe this tin mine-themed resort along Phuket's Nai Yang shoreline. Trust me: you can wear your whites here with no fear of them getting covered in soot.
City getaway

» More often than not, when one thinks of Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park, one thinks of a prime site adjoining a leafy square that is Benjasiri Park in the city centre, within walking distance of numerous attractions in Sukhumvit Road. Bangkok foodies, however, would picture Goji Kitchen + Bar, which features a quality international buffet and Akira Back, an American-Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant.

» The inability to travel has left us hungry for adventure and what better way to satisfy the longing for exploration than tasting new cuisines? Whether it's momos that brings to mind Himalayan snow-capped mountains or feijoada that takes you to a beach in Rio, there's something for everyone. Guru presents a list of restaurants that are your tickets to flavour town.
Destination: Wellness
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 18/09/2020
» Built around a cave temple that once served as a meditative retreat for Buddhist monks, Kamalaya Koh Samui manages to top many other wellness retreats that I have been to. This is largely because its focus isn't only to provide you with a peaceful sanctuary that is an escape from the rest of the world but also to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself. The thoughtfully prepared food, great service and the company of the people there make Kamalaya overshadows a regular beach holiday to no end.

» With international flights still banned and travel bubble arrangements likely to be delayed, many local tour operators have reimagined tour experiences that they provide, with the local traveller in mind. They aim to offer new perspectives of places that locals might already know of.
Blast from the past
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 10/07/2020
» Bangkok has witnessed a myriad of old, surviving buildings turned into retail and hospitality spaces, especially boutique hotels and guesthouses. For every whimsical, stylish opening, these historic buildings still hold very much of their past and retain original characters behind their revived, new looks. Guru hits a few cool places.

Home improvement
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 17/04/2020
» There are many services and products that we are used to using outside our homes, which we no longer have access to. However, people adapt to changes and most of those services and products can be enjoyed in the comfort of the great indoors. They include absolute essentials, such as hardware needed for work and items to entertain yourself like VR headsets, as well as beauty services. Guru has listed a few such things.
