Welcoming a new decade!
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/01/2020
» For those of you who may have missed it, we are in a new decade. Yes, you read that right. No, you are not hallucinating. Yes, we are all old. Welcome to the beginning of the 2020s where films like Back To The Future and Blade Runner are not just classics but the future worlds depicted in them are now effectively in the past; where years like 2050 and 2060 no longer sound ridiculous like they did back in the early 2000s and where those born in 2000 are 20 years old. It's a lot to take in, that's for sure. With every new year also comes the declarations of "New year, new me" posted all over social media and vocally announced at dinner tables everywhere. Resolutions are made and kept for a good two weeks or so before being thrown out the window. So instead of trying to expect things to happen that we aren't even sure will happen, let's take a look at the stuff that we're fairly certain will happen this year. Here's a couple of things to look forward to this 2020.

Co-developed between Siam Piwat, Magnolia Quality Development Corporation and Charoen Pokphand Group, Iconsiam is the biggest retail complex in Thailand, featuring majestic architecture and global stores with luxury brands to provide a shopping experience unlike any other (minus the heavy traffic that comes with it).
Livin' La Vida Mocha
Guru, Lydia Bilton, Published on 10/03/2017
» Here's a Friday fun fact for you. Did you know that Starbucks (that world-famous green and white coffeehouse you Bangkokians love) failed miserably in Australia? In 2003, the American coffee giant opened eighty-four stores Down Under, and eight years later, sixty of those closed.
You're just a big kid!
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/01/2017
» It's okay to be a kid every now and then. By that, we don't mean asking your parents for permission to go out, throwing a tantrum when you don't get what you want or picking your nose and eating the booger either. Eww.
The mustachioed Italian plumber makes iOS debut
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/12/2016
» It's been a long time coming, but Mario -- the crimson-clad, mustachioed, Japanese/Nintendo-born Italian plumber -- has finally hopped his way onto smartphones in the form of Super Mario Run, the mushroom-chugging, fireball-flinging coin maniac's debut feature on touch-screen devices. Downloadable for free now on iOS and next year for Android, the game's simplistic touch-based platforming is great, losing none of the precision of control and inventive level design synonymous of Mario games.
