The minimal movement
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 31/03/2017
» Minimalists take pride, because this season, whether it's with clothing or accessories, the freshest style items out there are making even the most embellished of fashionistas want to go back to basics. But calling these confidently cut-down designs basic is actually an insult. To arrive at such pleasing and eye-catching sleekness, designers easily spent double the time and effort considering how to say the most with the least. So let's take the time to appreciate a few brands who are leading this hot trend.
Trippin' on Travelling

» Songkran break is coming around and you know what that means. Besides fatally high temperatures and a three-day water war, for a growing number of Bangkokians, any impending long holiday triggers a visit to the likes of Skyscanner and Expedia for their next overseas adventures. If you're a Bangkokian who lives to travel and you're constantly max-ing out your annual leave to breathe foreign (and hopefully less polluted) air, see if you can relate to the 10 traits we've identified.

Wine Me Dine Me Indeed

» <B>The Setting: </B>Cantina Wine Bar & Italian Kitchen graces Ari with its first trattoria, a restaurant serving up true Italian comforts. Managed by Soho Hospitality, the group that has also brought us Havana Social, Charcoal and Above Eleven, it's no wonder the interior of this cozy and casual little Italian spot is so on point. Candle-lit for its evening opening hours, the best date seats are near the windows or against the rustic brick walls. Winos, however, will demand for the tables at the base of the glorious wine cellar in the middle of the restaurant. To reach the top of this bottle library, you'd have to climb the wooden ladder perched against it, or swing from the chandelier from the second floor. We recommend neither. You should just ask the staff, unless the owner of the establishment Matthew Milotich is already grabbing you some of the good stuff. But no matter where you sit in this intimate setting, you've got a view of the wine and of chefs hustling behind the counter. Pizza chefs work in calmer situations up at a baking station on a more private second floor.
Pina Palooza

» A fact about pineapples: did you know that pineapples are actually berries, or more accurately a fusion of berries? This is just something you'd know if you were crazy about the fruit, and if you are cray-cray about pineapples then you should also be aware of the new dessert spot in town specifically catering to your love of the succulent yellow fruit.
You an Elf or a Grinch?

» There are two types of people in this world: those who live for Christmas lights, ugly sweaters and an endless airplay of We Wish You A Merry Christmas; and those who seek to hibernate through the "winter" and wake up only when times are sane again. Here are signs that you're either straight outta Santa's workshop or the spawn of Scrooge.
Pink drinks and sunny dishes

» <b>The setting</b>Palm fronds, good music, and a pink neon sign mark this little open-air oasis in Charoen Krung's industrial Soi 28. Little Market is what happens when the creative minds and laid back personalities of Ce La Vie's former executive chef Chet Adkins, photographer Jason Lang and Speedy Grandma's Thomas Menard join forces. What was once a drab single-room stall has been transformed into a colourful diner with a personality ten times the size of its dimensions. There is so much to describe, from the crazy hand-painted walls and the checkerboard floors to the hot pink bar stools, oversized hanging lightbulbs and a really old school pinball "machine" just sitting there in the back. But even with eyes closed, there's the glorious sounds of Bowie and The Beatles pulling you in.

» There's one food that no one ever needed to learn to love, and that's pizza. The universal appreciation for pizzas means that every once in a while duty calls for us to sacrifice our hard earned bikini bods to try all the new pizzerias in town. So appreciate these findings from our piggish pilgrimage. We've got everything from the highly competitive to harmlessly light-hearted. Enjoy and follow our footsteps, with caution.
