Unapologetic Sam
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 09/10/2023
» Let's get straight to the point first, pun intended. Even casual fans of music can't help but notice the drastic change in the public image of Sam Smith. The multiple-crown award-winning British singer-songwriter has gone from a clean-cut melancholy crooner to an unholy provocateur with body-positive attitude, gender-bending attire, non-binary identity and unapologetic messages.
A show of strength
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/09/2022
» Over the past few years, American superheroes have dominated the movies in cinemas and series on various streaming services. That is likely to continue since Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe consists of planned releases in 2023 and 2024, while DC Extended Universe also has at least five films to be released next year. Last month, a reboot of the Red Eagle, perhaps Thailand's best-known superhero, was also announced for a planned release in 2024. Guru thinks home-grown heroes need long overdue love from us, so here are some of the memorable ones for your reading pleasure.

» Kimpton Kitalay Samui, the second Kimpton in Thailand and Kimpton's first resort in Southeast Asia, lives up to its Thai portmanteau -- kita for music and (ta)lay for sea -- as it sits right next to a secluded and unspoilt stretch of Choeng Mon Beach, Koh Samui. Not only you can hear the sound of waves rolling ashore during your stay but also the buzzing of cicada.

A staycation for pawrents
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/10/2021
» Standing 40-storey tall amid leafy surroundings, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok celebrates its first anniversary this month. An oasis in the city where you (and your pet) can escape to for a green respite.
Stay In, Stay Safe
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/04/2021
» Everyone would agree that staying in is the best policy at the moment given that the current surge of Miss Rona in Thailand is most severe, yet. In good conscience, we don't want to encourage you to go out. But fret not, as Guru has once again saved the day with ideas to help spruce up another bout of self-isolation during this quasi-lockdown.
Oasis in the city
