Loud and proud
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 14/06/2019
» We've finally hit the half way mark of the year -- June and if you've been out and about, you may have noticed rainbow-coloured decorations (or at least rainbows on your Facebook newsfeed ) because we are in Pride Month. The month in which the LGBTQ+ community promote and express themselves and celebrate gender diversity and sexual identity. The gay pride movement is celebrated throughout the world ever since the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in Manhattan, New York, a pivotal event that led to creation of the movement for LGBT rights. Prominent figures in the community tell GURU what pride means to them and what are they proud. We've also compiled a few pride celebration events around the city that are worth everyone's attention.

Without further ado, let's take a look at these creative exhibitions and highlight a few.

Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 14/09/2018
» Attention, party people and night owls! Bored of the same old venues week after week? Wanna break the monotony from your usual hangout hotspots?

The co-working movement
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 10/08/2018
» Shared workplaces or co-working spaces, have changed the way people work and collaborate with each other, offering flexibility, opportunities, networking and even relaxation in ways a traditional office cannot. There is no doubt that there has been an abundant amount of such communal spaces in Thailand (look no further than our cover story on co-working spaces a few issues ago), which means that various start-ups and businesses have begun to change the way they operate. JustCo, headquartered in Singapore, is a leading provider of co-working spaces and opened their first co-working centre in Thailand in May. Their first space, which is two-storeyed and is within the AIA Sathorn Tower office building, has attracted potential clients with their vibrant setting, casual and cosy ambience and creative lighting designs. We chat with Kong Wan Sing, founder and CEO of JustCo, on why such spaces are in demand and expansion plans.

Steak out
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 10/08/2018
» In the neon-lit entertainment district that is Patpong, a steakhouse is probably the last place you would think of dining in for quality meat. And yet, as my friend and I walked into a small alley off Silom Road, past through rows of booths and stores selling touristy souvenirs, The Steakhouse Co., a contemporary bar and grill steakhouse lies in stark contrast with the go-go bars nestled further within the alley.

Flowers, lattes and toast
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 22/06/2018
» Floral cafes seems to be on the rise (look no further than our cover story on floral cafes a few issues ago) and Too Good For You seems to be the next flowery destination for cafe hoppers. Of course, cafes such as these are not without its gimmicks and Too Good For You is, quite frankly, too good for us to be situated in a location where anybody can find it. Yes, this cafe is hidden deep within an old office building, namely the Mukda building in Sathon.

Biker brunch
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 18/05/2018
» Food and vehicles may seem like an unlikely collaboration, but if prior efforts are of any evidence, it's that automobile/motorcycle cafes are no strangers to experimentation. From Ducati's concept restaurant a few years back in Thong Lor to Honda's recent collaboration with Greyhound at CUB House in Ekamai, these hybrid eateries are where diners have a meal while attending a casual motorshow. Sathorn's brunch cafe Luka has collaborated with BMW Thailand dealer MF Motorad to bring their second branch named Luka Moto, a cafe that aims to accommodate those with a lifestyle that relies on the need for speed. Having opened in March, the two-floor motorcycle-centric brunch spot is on the ground floor of The Taste Mall on Thong Lor 11, and is a haven for motorbike enthusiasts and brunch fans alike.

Parts unknown
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 20/04/2018
» Named after the house number and the road where it is located, 100 Mahaseth serves North and Northeastern Thai cuisines with a modern twist. Those who frequent the Charoen Krung area or work in Sathon or Silom may have walked past 100 Mahaseth's metallic rust-coloured front with a warehouse-garage looking facade a few times, as the restaurant opened last September. Originally opened only for dinner, 100 Mahaseth has expanded their opening hours to include lunch. And for those who haven't dined here, prepare to have an unique dining experience -- nose-to-tail.
