A show of strength
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/09/2022

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.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/02/2020
» What do you get when you cross UFO, Yanbian-style barbecue, no-flipping grills and a lot of wordplay? BADBQ in Siam Square Soi 9 is the answer! To the best of my knowledge, this casual joint is the first and only in Thailand to offer a Yanbian-style barbecue, Yanbian being the autonomous prefecture in China with a large number of ethnic Koreans. This has resulted in the cuisine being a fusion of Chinese and Korean.
