Sporty does it
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 03/07/2015
» How many times have you shown up at a hangout in your workout get-up because you’ve hit the gym before or plan to after?

Wear it with pride
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/07/2015
» For the past two weeks, you've probably had a very colourful experience on your Facebook newsfeed, if not on your own profile picture. But let's be honest — at some point you've probably asked yourself how you can go back to your normal profile without looking like you don't support the cause.

Surf the brunch wave
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 21/08/2015
» For a moment, the use of the words "Japanese" and "brunch" together had me tilting my head. From my experiences and, well, heritage (I'm half-Japanese), my idea of what Japanese people eat for their morning meal is the epitome of culinary minimalism -- a hot bowl of rice, topped with natto, ume or pickles, or a raw egg and miso soup -- is not something that would be served at award-winning hotel restaurants.

Graduation checklist
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 02/10/2015
» There's one part of higher education in Thailand we can confidently say is more impressive and challenging than that of any other country -- our graduation ceremonies. It's every Thai parent's dream to see their grown kids suffer through at least two full days -- dress rehearsal and the actual commencement -- of outdoor photo shoots while dressed in elaborate uniforms, plus the gown, props and an inhuman amount of make-up and hairspray. Did I mention that we're in a tropical country where it is pretty much the scorching summer year-round?!

Halloween culture shocks
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 23/10/2015
» Why do we get so excited about Halloween every year, when everyone dresses up as one of basically four options: a witch, a vampire, a zombie or something needlessly slutty?

What's that in the sky?
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 20/11/2015
» Earlier this month, a mysterious green flash fell from the heavens, for a few seconds turning the night sky into day. As dash-camera footage of the phenomenon surfaced, a frenzy of questions erupted -- questions that were, unfortunately, met with shrugs and bewilderment. So the people turned to Guru for answers. And sure enough, we have them. All 10 of them.

Wife and child approved
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 04/12/2015
» Tomorrow is Thai Father’s Day, and I’m curious about something: When you’re out tomorrow, “treating” your dad to a feast of gratitude for not giving up on you, who’s driving and who’s paying? You? Mom? Surely not Dad… right?

The fashion Force awakens
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 11/12/2015
» If you've been waiting aeons for the new Star Wars film, there's no way you're going to see it as a covert fan. So air out that Wookiee suit, polish the metal bikini and give your Jedi robe a good lint-rollin' sesh. I don't know about your circles, but mine has already begun to designate cosplay characters. Intimidated? Then you better not show up underdressed.

As Lucca would have it
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 18/12/2015
» The appeal of being a hidden restaurant is unmistakably exclusivity. No matter how much flair you pump into the menu, atmosphere or prices, accessibility never means "elite". Clearly, this was the mantra observed by Natdanai Yuvaboon, the owner of Lucca, a new Italian-Mediterranean restaurant, when he chose the quiet residential backstreets of Sukhumvit Soi 65 as its location. Once you've successfully navigated through the labyrinth of narrow alleys (which never look promising), you won't arrive at a loud and shiny new ristorante. Despite being only a few months old, Lucca appears years-aged, with pale creeping plants and weathered stone tiles. The interior, however, is completely renovated from the Vietnamese restaurant that it once was. Still, there's an aged vibe to it, with dark wood, dim lighting, minimal decor and good, old-fashioned table settings.

To Santa, from Bangkok
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 25/12/2015
» T'was the night before Christmas, and all through Bangkok, the desperate were up, making final appeals to the Claus. Then a slight internet glitch occurred, which for some reason rerouted a handful of North Pole-bound emails to the Bangkok Post. We didn't mean to snoop, but in order to forward the electronic letters to their rightful destinations, we had to open them. In the process, we found some of the city's most peculiar Christmas wishes.
