    Pattaya delights in Bangkok

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 16/09/2016

    » Devarana Spa is offering a new "creative spa retreat" package, Pattaya Delight, consisting of little elements that remind us of the unique seaside town not too far from Bangkok. We know, of all the places one could pick to base a two-hour spa treatment on, we also wondered why the high end hotel spa decided to choose Pattaya as a source for its inspiration. Before entering the room, you are offered a welcome drink to calm and cool yourself from the Bangkok heat -- some hibiscus juice or nam krajiab. We had two cups of the stuff it was so good.

    Directing Twelve Angry Men

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 07/10/2016

    » Loni Berry, the man behind Bangkok's multicultural, English speaking theatre, Culture Collective, is set to be putting on Twelve Angry Men towards the end of this month, the first of a string of plays the theatre will be staging this season. We're uber keen to see what he's got up his sleeve for this one, considering his Lisbon Traviata won Best Production at the 2015 Bangkok Theatre Festival. And personally, we did love his musically witty Death of Miss America. From Asian stereotypes and homosexuality, to nudity, Berry's performances always tackle prickly topics that make viewers stop and think. We thought it's wise to dig a little deeper into the artistic director who's making such great, mind-altering and risky moves for theatre in Bangkok.

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 03/06/2016

    » In case you didn't know, there are 197 countries in the world. And Johnny Ward has now visited 193 of them. Guru was lucky enough to meet the Irishman, a hugely successful and famous travel blogger (www.onestep4ward.com), whose mission for the last 10 years has been to visit every country, while making millions and never working a 9-5.

    The sound effect

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 08/09/2017

    » With the number of independent films being made and an increasing number of recording artists taking the leap into the unknown without a label, knowledge about sound and how and where to best capture it becomes key. Luckily you're in the right country. Thailand is a production hub for Southeast Asia when it comes to film and now even more so, music. So, if you've written music for a video, a movie, a music album or you've got this song in your head that you always dreamed of recording... where do you go to turn such far-fetched notes into reality? You could of course do it yourself and start off at home! All you'd need is a condenser mic, a laptop and a few other bits of hardware (e.g. an audio interface, headphones, a MIDI keyboard) and software (Logic Pro or Ableton are some of many) and you'd be well on your way. Or you could go to the professionals, who would have all the gear at your disposal as well as the know-how to see your visions turn into reality. We decided to investigate some of the city's existing recording studios to see what they have to offer in the way of making music.

    Simply sweeter in Singapore

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 09/09/2016

    » Chang recently launched its first global initiative to bring Thai food to the world. LUCKY world. "Chang Sensory Trails", curated by LA-based Chef Jet Tila, Thailand's Culinary Ambassador to the USA, featured a selection of mouthwatering dishes triggered from memories of his time spent in Thailand. The inaugural event was held in Singapore at the Bay Front Event Space last month and was set in a multi-sensorial playground amid music, lighting and what else, of course, but copious amounts of Chang beer. Guru was more than happy to join in on all the festivities and flavours.

    Let's piazza and chill

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 27/05/2016

    » The sister of Antonio's Italian restaurant has finally been born. Her name is La Piazza and she is a gorgeous establishment located in the heart of Sukhumvit 24. It'll be hard to not turn your head when you drive past her. And, she is what Bangkok has been in dire need of for so long.

    All about that jazz and glitter

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 29/04/2016

    » The second volume of The Iron Faries' fairytale is upon us. We all know how much of an impact the first bar and restaurant had on Bangkok's nightlife; Thong Lor has never been the same. The Iron Fairies Dragonfly at Central Eastville is definitely going to be another game changer, methinks. It may seem far out but hey, there's more to Bangkok than Thong Lor.

    Boarding for Banh mi

    Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 20/05/2016

    » We adore Vietnamese food and there never seem to be enough restaurants in this city offering this glorious cuisine; seriously, there are more Vietnamese eateries in Shoreditch than there are in the whole of Bangkok. And why don't we have a Viet Town?
