    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 28/02/2014

    » So it turns out that Bangkok does have some old warehouses to convert into cool stuff. The latest is Sheepshank Public House, fashioned out of an old shipbuilding yard right on the river at Phra Athit (just a stone’s throw from Khao San). For the conversion, they’ve tacked on a new river-facing facade in the theme of the old factory with pretty good results. Inside, the slender-but-lofty room adorned with industrial light fittings, exposed bricks and some old machinery is space for around 30 pax, who can enjoy the river and sunset views. It’s intimate while being spacious enough, with just enough rustic authenticity to work.

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 28/06/2013

    » If you're looking for a quiet spot to coffee up in Thong Lor, then track the rabbit down to the hidden and homey shophouse burrow of slow coffee bar Casa Lapin x49. Although a little culturally muddled (mixing Spanish and French words), the place gets seemingly everything else right and takes up the mantle the first branch in Thong Lor Art Village (Sukhumvit Soi 55) established, this time with more confidence and deeper pockets.

    The definite

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 07/06/2013

    » Call us grammar geeks, but it's amazing the difference a single article can make when put in front of a name. We considered calling ourselves "The Guru" for this edition, in sympathy with the restaurant up for consideration here, but decided against. But while The District brazenly insists its own definite article, it has reason to be confident.

    Going all in

    » Two realms of our universe that you thought may never meet have been fused together by Lenovo in its new IdeaPad Yoga 13 ultraportable. The ability to flex is not something you want to associate with your technology too closely, but the Yoga 13 _ Lenovo's little pun _ is very flexible, and the name reflects both the versatility of the screen and indeed the functionality of the device itself.

    Bringing back the beat

    B Magazine, Richard Mcleish, Published on 09/12/2012

    » It was always only a matter of time before the famous boombox of 1980s New York street corners made a comeback. But since many people carry much of their personal music library around in their pocket on a smartphone or MP3 player, is now the right time to stage a comeback?

    » It was only in 2010 that Apple dropped its iPad bombshell on the world, changing the way people approach and use portable technology. Two-and-a-half years on, and with a new CEO at the helm, the manufacturer has garnered far less hype with its recent release of the iPad mini and iPad with Retina display.

    » Much to Apple's fear, Samsung has boomed in the high-end smartphone market this year. It topped smartphone sales last quarter, with more than double Apple's share, with its strong armoury of releases spearheaded by the Galaxy S III.
