    Together at home

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 27/03/2020

    » Staying home, barely going out, staying in your PJs for the majority of the day, taking them off to shower some time in the afternoon only to change into fresh cleaner PJs -- welcome to the new normal. I forgot to mention the part where you work from home but let's be honest, are you really working from home or did you just breeze past one season of a TV show you're now re-watching for the fourth time? Nevertheless, we all seem to be confined to our homes for the foreseeable future. You may be the introvert of introverts but even you may get bored and stir-crazy being stuck in one place for a long time. Here are a number of things to give some levity to your lockdown.

    The AI game

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/06/2019

    » Arthit Suriyawongkul has got a pretty impressive list of achievements that seems to destine him to be an AI expert. An alumni of Thammasat Univeristy, he got his Bachelor of Science in IT then went on to study Cognitive Science and Natural Technology at the University of Edinburgh. He returned to Thailand after the 2006 coup and was one of the people who lent his voice to help protest the Computer-Related Crime Act of 2007. He also got a Masters degree for Anthropology from his alma mater. Now, he is the AI Research Engineering Manager at Wisesight and is one of the people that helped develop a new social media analytic tool called "Social Seeing". With his degree and vast experience in IT, as well as being well-versed in all things AI, we didn't just talk to him about the new software he helped develop. We also talked about privacy in the social media stage and if it's at all possible that we'll be slaves to our AI overlords in the next few years or so.

    Bibliophilia: Five havens for bookworms

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/06/2018

    » Did you know that Thailand was named the World Book Capital by Unesco in 2013? Maybe we should instead ask : can you believe Thailand was named the World Book Capital by Unesco in 2013? Whether you believe it or not, it's true. Now bookstores are a common sight in malls but we usually know them by a Japanese name and another name that specifies a continent of the world. However, those aren't the only places a bookworm can find refuge at. There are a number of places right here in the Big Mango that book lovers will absolutely adore. This week, we have picked out some of our favourites.

    Let's get geeky

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/04/2018

    » Whether you like it or not, geek is in. That's obvious from the plethora of superhero movies reigning at the box office and the TV series we follow and binge faithfully. And Bangkok isn't an exception. Geekiness is alive and well here in the Big Mango. That's pretty evident with the "letter" Major Cineplex released a few weeks ago that employees could use to give to their bosses to ask for the day off to watch Avengers: Infinity War (ours is already printed out and ready to go as well as our escape plan in case our boss chases us out of the office). Aside from that, Bangkok is going to show off its geek pride with a couple of events in the city. So ignite your lightsabers, produce 1.21 gigawatts, step into the Tardis, have your wands at the ready and sit in your captain's chair. Here are five events in Bangkok where geeks will thrive and fanboy/fangirl to the max.

    Encapsulated

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 24/11/2017

    » Hotels are not in short supply in the Big Mango, and there are different kinds to choose from. Conventional hotels are great, but a new trend is starting here in the city: capsule hotels. A concept originally from Japan -- and we all know Japan comes up with awesome stuff -- these capsule hotels foregoes the rooms and offers guests something simple: a space to sleep for the night. These hotels are ridiculously cheap, each having a unique vibe, and we're really excited that this is now a thing here in Bangkok. Here are five capsule hotels in the city for you to stay in, whether you're spending a few days here or maybe just want to sleep in a capsule... You know, as one does.
