  » Being one of this year's most talked about bars (and not just because finding the entrance proves to be rather difficult especially if you've pre-gamed elsewhere before), Rabbit Hole has without a doubt garnered much credit from cocktail-lovers. Thanks to the talents behind the bar that continues to deliver fantastic beverages and consistent service.

  A southern pearl with personality

  » Forget the usual beach huts and bland hotel buildings you've seen on your previous visits to Phuket. Instead, imagine an eye-popping destination set on a lush and tranquil beachfront where the sand stretches for miles and the sea is made up of 20 different shades of blue. Welcome to The Slate.

  » <b>The setting:</b> The opening of Habito Mall has encouraged many Bangkokians -- whose preference for dining destinations usually won't extend far beyond Thong Lor's reach -- to actually venture a tiny bit further down Sukhumvit Road. This spanking new community mall is basically a melting pot of various cuisines -- albeit all relatively familiar to our palate -- where you're guaranteed to find something for everyone.

  Mouth-watering Mediterranean

  Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/03/2015

  » Mediterranean food often causes Bangkokians to rub their ears and raise their eyebrows in total confusion. Like any other cuisine, understanding its geographical origin is key, and several countries — Greece, Spain, Turkey, Italy, France — have coastlines along the Mediterranean Sea. With an increasing number of restaurants in Bangkok willing to venture beyond steaks and pizzas, our palates are beginning to expand, meaning there's no time like the present for a Mediterranean restaurant like Garibaldis to open in the heart of the city. With a spacious indoor and outdoor dining area, an open kitchen and a huge bar, the venue is perfect for a casual lunch. As night falls, the place buzzes with good vibes and funky jams. Who knows, you just might feel obligated to do a little salsa dancing (under the table with your feet). Free parking is provided — a huge bonus for anyone dreading the short stroll from Asok BTS station.

  Of art and alchemy

  » If there's anybody in Bangkok who knows how to make a good cocktail, it's Vesper. Testament to this is not only the seemingly obvious, that they achieved 17th place in Asia's 50 Best Bars 2016, but the fact that they almost always find themselves completely packed out on a Tuesday night.

  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.

  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.

  Phuket On Point

  » Planning an itinerary for a modern-day traveller is no easy feat. One minute they expect to be thrilled and swept off their feet with adrenaline-filled activities and in the next, they expect to be lying in the sun doing absolutely nothing, exerting minimal energy, deciding which cocktail to have next or reapplying sun cream.

  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.
