Guru has gathered a list of interesting workshops and private classes for you to never stop growing (metaphorically).

» Since Phetchaburi and Songkhla have an abundance of sugar palm trees, people recognise these two provinces for their palm sugar products. When local ingredient expert Anusorn Tipayanon and community architect Jantrarat Jantaratippalukit visited Pattani, they were surprised to see the palm sugar production process there. After trying wak or krachae (liquor made from palm sugar) in Panare, Anusorn came up with the idea to create the exhibition "Soul/Sweet" which depicts products made from palm sugar.

» Nam pak sathon is a condiment from the Dan Sai district of Loei province.

Thus, when TCDC Commons at Seacon Square Srinagarindra held the workshop "Nam Pak Sathon", 15 participants learned about the condiment and how to use it in dishes.

A sight for sore eyes
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 02/07/2021
» Art has been and still is a vital part of our life and history though it has evolved over the years. The Renaissance gave us legendary works of art like Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's David. Fast forward to the present and we still view art regularly albeit in different forms -- now on a 55in. OLed TV. Hey, Netflix movies and shows are still work of art, don't judge. I understand that there is a vast difference between sitting on your couch and going to a gallery or an exhibition. Guru provides you, dear readers with refreshing breaks like a list of new galleries that are worth your time.
