Roads, actually
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 20/05/2016
» Tests are supposed to measure what we know, or, more accurately, what we don't know but should know. That's why it's problematic when we're passing exams but failing in the real life situations those exams sought to mimic. This could easily be alluding to the shape of our national education in general, but we're directing our frustration to a specifically aggravating application of skill in this country: driving.

Grunge princess all grown up
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 13/05/2016
» Before we dive into today's style story, let's take a short quiz. At one point in your life, did you ever consider Avril Lavigne a style icon? Have you ever dyed your hair a colour that wasn't just brown or blonde? Do you approve of tattoos, piercings or a partially shaved head? Do you still listen to punk rock music?

Please label us
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 26/02/2016
» Multi-label retailers have been popular for a long time in progressive urban cultures such as Los Angeles, Melbourne and Tokyo, so where has Bangkok been? Obsessing over high-rise luxury malls housing tonnes and tonnes of single-label shops. But at last, it seems we are evolving, refining our tastes to prefer low-key, even local splendours. We're also becoming lazier. Wouldn't we all rather visit one cool little store that conveniently brings together the best items from the best labels?

Flower rearrangement
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 04/03/2016
» Floral for spring? How refreshing. Honestly though, have we ever seen a season without it? There's a good reason, however, that flowers -- in fashion, at least -- will never die. They're historic. Go back way before mass-produced Forever 21 tunics, even before floral-print pin-up dresses of the '50s, and think about the most typical pattern on the centuries-old kimono. Or how lace, an invention from the 15th century still popular today, is indeed a needle-point interpretation of blooms.

#CNY
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 05/02/2016
» Despite the fact that most Thais born and raised here aren’t dual citizenship holders, many like to tack on “Chinese” when asked by foreigners their nationality. No one can tell you your great-great-great-great-great grandparents on your father’s side weren’t Mainlanders, but is a small percentage of blood significant enough to call someone Thai-Chinese? Not really. We give people more credit if they can prove knowledge of their heritage. Since Chinese New Year is a huge cultural celebration observed annually by Chinese descendants worldwide, we are putting you to the test. How many CNY customs on our list apply to you?

When 80% is an A+
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 12/02/2016
» A new nighttime eatery, owned by a pair of couples, has opened next to Charoen Krung's hip youth hub Old Town, sharing the enthusiasm for Bangkok's old town vibes. Its name, 80/20, is stylised on the facade in several ways. Searching for the restaurant at dinnertime, you'll first notice a small light box with the numbers in Thai digits, then "Eighty Twenty" in old school, golden lettering above a heavy set of wooden doors.
