Let's get Baked
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 03/02/2017
» Open the doors to this dainty bakery and cafe on Soi 33 and you'll be immediately greeted by the smell of baked goodies and a very welcoming reception from co-owners Ning and Tong. These two affable ladies have taken over the spot that used to be 'Fat Beagle' -- which was also a bakery -- and decked it out in a homey yet modern style that's seriously inviting. If you ever find yourself in the area, it's a real must to drop in for a slice of cake.
Function, form and a fab bod

» If you're in need of that extra push to get in shape this year, look no further than F45, a brand new functional training studio tucked inside Novotel Bangkok Hotel on Soi 20. We tried out three of their classes, survived and now can confidently tell you that you'll be tired AF and sweating out from every single one of your pores (even if you're a regular gym-goer).
Mission possible
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 16/12/2016
» Remember the heyday of muay Thai gyms opening up like crazy and gloved-up ladies taking longer to pose for a good Instagram snap than they did hitting the bag? Well, we do, and we're sure glad to see that the trend has died down - maybe just a tiny bit.
Iron whisk

» <B>THE SETTING</B>: The Iron Chef brand is not without its loyal followers. From the TV show alone, countless restaurants have drawn in plenty of clientele from the mere fact that one of the starring chefs has either helped design the menu, happens to be one of the many partners or -- in the rare cases -- actually mans the kitchen.
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.
Comfort makes a comeback
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/04/2016
» In an era where the hype and focus on food lies in the firsts, the revolutionaries, the break-throughs, the rankings and the 3-month waiting lists, there is a certain amount of comfort and relief when we hear about a beloved, classic restaurant making a comeback.
Paws galore
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 01/04/2016
» Like most children, I spent my childhood hoping to find a puppy inside every one of my birthday presents. I also longed for the day my parents would finally cave in to my constant begging and puppy-dog eyed looks every time we passed a pet shop. Twenty odd years later, they haven't flinched one bit. Paired with the fact that we've always lived in an apartment building where no pets are allowed, watching Cesar Millan rollerblading with a pack of dogs became my only solace.
Once bitten, Twice shy

» With Thai celebrities and their friends backing the brand, it wasn't much of a surprise to see long queues outside of the Bake Cheese Tart stall when it first opened. Three months down the line and surprise, surprise, there wasn't a single line to be seen. Despite all the hype it had created, it seems this little pop up (among many others) has fallen short of expectations.
Where every day is Sundae

» Let's get something straight: I can eat ice cream all day, every day, and in pretty much any weather condition. I've stood knee-deep in snow while attempting to eat an ice lolly with a frostbitten tongue -- and enjoyed it. My motto? Life's too short to eat bad ice cream.
