    Breaking bad news

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/01/2017

    » Now that 2016 is finally over, we can rest assured that all the bull**** and f**kery it brought with it will never be repeated. Right? RIGHT?! Bleh, who knows what the future has in store for us. Let's face it, this time last year the thought of Trump becoming the 45th President of the United States probably made you spit out your coffee or, if you're a hipster, choke on your kale juice. But then again, never say never, right?

    Not your usual lunch ladies

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/09/2016

    » Anyone who has ever worked or is currently working in the F&B and hospitality industry knows that the word "easy" is not a part of the job description. And anyone who says otherwise, is probably not doing it right. From dealing with difficult customers and unreliable suppliers to spending long hours on your feet in the kitchen working under tremendous pressure, there are a myriad of reasons that make working in F&B sound far from a dream job to most. But there are those few out there who welcome these challenges and manage to do it with a smile still intact.

    Knock-out cocktails

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/07/2016

    » There's something about a cocktail. Whether it's the instagrammability of how they're presented or the vigour of hipster-looking bartenders using Boston shakers like jackhammers to make them -- whatever it is, they're rather easy to love.

    » If there's anything this country hasn't quite got a grip on, it's coming to terms with the truth and censorship. Oh sure, ban the Daily Mail and pornographic websites (nothing ruins a country like coitus), and blur out taboo subjects all you want -- we still know what nipples, guns and cigarettes look like. Instead of letting citizens think for themselves, the censorship nazis have decided to put a PG filter on anything that may conjure the slightest spark of controversy.

    Prohibition Est. 2015

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 21/08/2015

    » The problem with the alcohol ban debacle isn’t only the fact that 1) rulemakers haven’t finished eeny-meeny-miny-moe-ing around the actual number of metres away from schools that bars and clubs must be situated or 2) it’s going to send Thailand back to experience for itself the crappiest period of American history. Nor will the ban magically rid Thailand of its violence problems. We’re not taking sides, nor are we sympathetic towards fellow office workers who will have to say goodbye to humpdays and TGIFs after local watering holes are axed. Of course not. What we’re saying, though, is there are other bans we should be thinking about a lot more. And since it’s currently illegal to gather in crowds and hold up placards, we thought we’d present them in Guru instead.

    V-Day Playbook

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/02/2015

    » Ah, the most romantic (dreaded) day of the year is back, and how lucky for couples who have already planned a luxury getaway to Paris or stocked up on gallons of wine and whipped cream (not that we’re suggesting anything). Then there are those of us who completely forgot and are trying to force a bunch of leaves into the shape of a rose bouquet. All this pressure and frustration, it’s surprising why we haven’t converted Feb 14 into something more meaningful, like Cockroach Unappreciation Day. But fear not, Guru is here to give you a rundown on how to get through Valentine’s Day this year, whether you’re a lover, a player or a stay-at-home loner with 10 cats.

    Thong Lor's Spanish star

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/02/2015

    » The Thong Lor strip is already filled with high-end Japanese restaurants but what many residents don't know, is that a Japanese expat has branched out on his own to open up an authentic Spanish eatery. Hidden right under our noses, it's tucked inside a sub-soi that you would only venture in if your Merc decides to break down. Don't let the huge Spanish flag out front fool you, tapas is not the star of the show here. Instead, the focus is on hearty and hefty Spanish dishes, packed with exciting and authentic flavours that will have you demanding seconds. The decor is modern and comforting, with bright yellow and red tablecloths spicing the place up. Diners include Japanese expats and the area's residents.
