The year ahead
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/01/2021
» 2021 is finally here and we can finally put "The Year That Must Not Be Named" behind us! Though we're not entirely out of the woods yet, the fact remains that a new year means we can turn a new leaf and look forward to the things yet to come this year. Here is a list of things that are in store for us, which hopefully -- fingers crossed -- may actually take place this year.
Green recovery
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/07/2020
» The streets of the city have roared back to life, rush hours are a thing once more and the busyness of Bangkok has returned. On one hand, it's great that everything seems to be coming back to normal.
Easy living
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/08/2019
» Living in Bangkok has its share of ups and downs. Then again, what city doesn't? We know we complain about living in the city in every issue we publish (we have plenty more) but that doesn't mean there are people who share the same grievances, but unlike us who just whine, have decided to do something about it. Sure, there are plenty of things to be improved upon or done away within Bangkok and we're pretty sure we all can write a long list. But we're sincerely glad to see that there are services like these that make not just living in Bangkok a little easier, but also living a greener, more-eco friendly life in the city more viable. And who's going to refuse a greener and easier lifestyle? Here are a few services to try out.
The indie experience
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/03/2019
» Sarinya Manamuti, Nicholas Hudso-Ellis and Wongsarond Menn Suthikulpanich, who designed the space at Sala Daeng, are the founders of Bangkok Screening Room. The contemporary cinema aims to serve as a platform for local independent filmmakers and films, as well as making non-blockbuster indie films and classics accessible. Having just concluded the Fem Film Festival, which screened movies highlighting struggles and accomplishments of women in honour of International Women's Day, Guru sat down with Sarinya and Hudso-Ellis to talk about Bangkok Screening Room.
Get some grub
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 30/06/2017
» It's pretty difficult to find a good cheesesteak sandwich here in the Big Mango. If you scour the whole city and look in every hidden nook and cranny you might just get lucky. But Grub Bangkok is bringing cheesesteaks to you. The food truck that serves the iconic sandwich, as well as burritos, pops up in events all around Bangkok, but more importantly, they also deliver to 13 districts in Bangkok. An order on FB or a phone call and they'll bring a cheesesteak right to your doorstep. However, the question remains: are the cheesesteaks any good?
