Tasty island treats
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 31/01/2014
» With a name that means island in Thai (in case you missed it), a big element here is, you guessed it, the tranquil and tropical surrounds that Samui is now world-famous for. Designed by the famous Bensley Design Studio, the restaurant and bar is perched high up at the deluxe resort so takes in all the villas and jungle right down to the beach and beyond. It's definitely distracting enough to abandon any monetary sensibilities for a meal. The deck is open-air, exposed to the elements to maximise the scenery, and the gentle breeze lets your big-city worries recede quickly into the background. Most people are too distracted by the view to notice the design of the structure with its natural timbers and black marble. The space is big enough for about 70 diners, mostly of which stay in the resort even though its open to outside visitors (tick).

In Print
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 01/03/2013
» Although it sounds like either a journalist watering hole (moths to the light), or a disused printing factory, Thong Lor newcomer print bar is both neither and a lot more. The first child of ex-hotel-F&B-man David Stanton instead utilises the motif of the print media industry - the world of graphic icons, where image is everything, surface reigns supreme - to lure us in. But the laidback Kiwi has also tried to put a neighbourhood spin on things as well (albeit in one of the biggest bridge-and-tunnel destinations of the city). The result? A luring but slightly confused bar on the bustling Thong Lor watering strip, located both geographically and conceptually in the middle of big players Gossip and Soul Food Manahakorn. Intrigued? So were we.

» The festival season is upon us, and the jam-packed gig guide reads accordingly. There are plenty of big names through the city this week, with the highlight being local electro monolith Culture One, edging out dubstep pioneer Skrillex and Berliner Dave Vega - no slouches either - while Beach Fossils provide a solid indie rock option. Spoilt, we are, this week. Go forth.

» And the festival season is under way, which means that the Kolour Sundays crew are emerging from hibernation. Good news. On Sun (Nov 25), they will host their one-year anniversary. But there are a host of parties both indoor and outdoor to get to as well. Just try and get that overdue work done before the end of the month. Just try.
