    The art of being a Bangkokian

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/04/2016

    » Despite the common perception that Bangkok is one of the most exciting and convenient of cities to live in, surviving this concrete jungle requires its inhabitants have far more than thick skin and a love for shopping malls. This entails a certain know-how, a knack of knowing-how-to-get-s***-done, or as we like to call it, the art of being a Bangkokian.

    Pumped-up pedalling

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/01/2016

    » Last week, I lost the love of my life: my Bluetooth headphones. They were no longer playing music the way they were supposed to, only blasting out incoherent sounds from one of the buds. Sure, I tried turning them on and off, charging them, hitting them against the wall a couple of times. But it was too late -- my best gym buddy was dead.

    Let's roll

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/01/2016

    » Not to sound like an uncivilised Bangkokian, too uncouth and ill-groomed to fit in with the well-mannered hi-sos who ever-so-graciously provide our city with such sophistication and class, but I've found myself, on various occasions, without the time to sit down and enjoy a proper lunch. I've actually become incredibly adept at eating on the go. Literally. I can speed walk while enjoying a 7-Eleven sandwich with ease, and I've even mastered the eating-and-driving manoeuvre. Is it safe? Probably not. But when you're living in this traffic-clogged metropolis, you learn to multitask.

    Bothersome Bangkok

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/09/2015

    » Bangkokians’ got 99 problems -- and we’re still counting. Sure, there are perks, such as having the safety net of motosai drivers when we’re running super late, a 7-Eleven at every street corner so we’ll never starve to death -- even the persistence of luxury malls, which keep popping up so we’ll never be without brands at which to throw our hard-earned cash. But the reality is us city-dwellers don’t always have it as easy as others might think. Bangkok is a tough city to live in, but know this, Dear Readers, you are never alone -- all 6.3 million of us have, on more than one occasion, also found ourselves in these face-palm-worthy situations. Forget first-world problems, here are 10 common struggles Bangkokians regularly face.

    (Deep) Fried and tested

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 24/10/2014

    » <b>THE SET-UP:</b> Unlike their loud and overbearing neighbour Carl's Jr., Mono+Mono quietly squeezes itself in the middle of two restaurants with a maximum capacity of only 24 diners. Think New York loft-style cafe with high ceilings and hints of industrial decor here and there. Opting for the middle ground between a fast-food joint and restaurant, diners have to order at the counter but the food is served at your table. With only one or two staff around, service can be slow during busy hours (possibly on purpose to make customers work up their appetite) but the advantage of being able to park in a shaded car park is definitely a bonus. Diners include students, residents and office workers who are based around the area.

    Fit, Firm, Fun

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/08/2014

    » We're all guilty of finding every excuse to cancel our morning jog with a friend, whether we're too hungover or the prospect of running in this heat is just too much to handle. Now, we know that going to the gym is pretty darn boring; the floor usually smells and the treadmill is always being used by fit seniors running at a much faster pace than you. So to help you stop making excuses, we've scoured the city searching for fun alternative sporting activities — apart from jogging and sit-ups — that will get you fit and firm with the fun.
