Charles-Alexis Guenard, also studying at ABAC but in the faculty of communication arts, is a half-Thai and half-French 20-year-old who was born in France. Together, they form a charismatic magic duo known as "Charles The French and Tada" who perform all over the country in major hotels, shopping venues and occasionally on television. We had a chat with the pair and it was everything one could hope for in an interview — reeking with personality.

Spirited away
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 22/07/2016
» Meet Minway Chi. Born and raised in New York, he has dabbled in pretty much every aspect of nightlife as a DJ, lighting designer, bartender and now a spirits importer. Having been settled in Bangkok for the last 12 years, Minway now runs Bootleggers Trading Co., a company actively moving forward Bangkok's cocktail culture. Guru visited the "Consulting Boozologist" — no really, that's what it says on his card — at Raw Bar on a regular night to watch him shake and talk about Bootleggers, change and a smidge of his upbringing.

» Considering the number of micro-schools in Thailand for teaching English, and yet our notoriously low proficiency in the language, there is clearly a disconnect between what's on offer and what we need. An online-based start-up by the name of Globish Academia, however, is staunchly determined to break the stalemate.

We catch up with one of the founders, 25-year-old "Juice" Chuencheewan Wongsaeree, to talk about the new kind of English that could finally make a difference for this nation.

» Earlier this month, a mysterious green flash fell from the heavens, for a few seconds turning the night sky into day. As dash-camera footage of the phenomenon surfaced, a frenzy of questions erupted -- questions that were, unfortunately, met with shrugs and bewilderment. So the people turned to Guru for answers.
