Around the clock

» Imagine this scenario: it's late at night -- really late at night. It's so late that even the street food vendors have gone to bed. You're not sleepy. In fact, you actually don't want to sleep.
The Thailand Files
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 02/08/2019
» Everyone loves a good conspiracy. There's something deliciously entertaining about the possibility that something could be true and we could spend hours and hours just reading and watching documentaries about the numerous conspiracies out there. Of course, there are others who are at the far, far end of the spectrum, who believe all conspiracies and consider themselves "truthers". Get stuck in a room or a car with these guys and they'll go on and on about how mobile phones are brainwashing you, the CIA knows your every move and how the Illuminati controls the world. Of course, there are also those simply want to have harmless fun like, you know, the nearly 2 million people, as of the writing of this article, who want to storm a certain top secret US government facility on Sept 20, as well as the lesser popular plan to storm Bangkok's Democracy Monument, which would have passed by the time this is published and will most likely involve less aliens. Nevertheless, don't think for one second that Thailand is spared from conspiracies! We've got a few right here. Remember, as a great TV show once said, "The truth is out there".
The breakfast club
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 07/06/2019
» You've heard it countless times: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But most of us are content with having Mama noodles or a simple congee to start the day. Hey, I don't blame you. Some of us don't have the time or if you're like me, we just love our bed too much to wake up early. But here's a question: who said breakfast had to be limited to mornings? It's a bit confusing to think about it because if you have breakfast during lunch or dinner, doesn't that just make it lunch or dinner? Don't overthink it, you get what I mean. Eggs, pancakes, coffee and other breakfast dishes are great anytime of the day. Fortunately for us Bangkokians, there's a number of places all around the city serving up great brekkies. Slather on that maple syrup, dig into those waffles and chug down that coffee. It's breakfast time, people.
Not your mama's movies
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 02/06/2017
» It's that time of the year when summer blockbusters are about to invade the cinemas. And while we're stoked to see superheroes swing into action or travel the open seas with an inebriated pirate, there are times when we just want to get away from all the CGI-ness of big budget films. Enter Bangkok Underground Film Festival, a place where you can enjoy local indie films, short films and discover new filmmakers. The films screened here are not necessarily the typical ones you'll be used to watching. Therefore, if you're after mainstream films, then perhaps you should go watch some lifeguards running in slow motion instead. Go figure.
