In anticipation of ANA
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/09/2016
» As Anantara Siam Bangkok readies its kitchen for the 17th World Gourmet Festival, we've scored an exclusive interview with Ana Roš, co-owner and chef at Hiša Franko (Kobarid, Slovenia) and one of the most anticipated headliners of this epic culinary event. It's the flowery, herbal, yet delicate and precise nature of her cooking that has made her the only woman, so far, to have joined the Cook it Raw luminaries group of chefs.

Reviving the classics
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 04/03/2016
» Dixielogy (fb.com/dixielogy) is an up-and-coming vintage jazz band that has quickly made a name for itself within Bangkok's bustling nightlife scene. Having headlined at Maggie Choo's and Brown Sugar, it's safe to say that its unique sound, inspired by dixieland and early styles of jazz, has received plenty of attention among jazz enthusiasts all over the city. Band members include Taweesak "Pipe" Booranapanitpan (clarinet), Watchara "Jeng" Atchariyavaranon (Trumpet), Panai "Pop" Imjai (banjo), Pawin "Win" Limkangvanmongkol (piano), Jutichoke "Junior" Assarasakorn (sousaphone) and Ben Poovaviranon (drums). Guru catches up with the group to find out what it's like for these affable musicians to bring back tunes from the 1910s and to swim against the tide of currently popular musical genres.

Sugar, ice and everything nice
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 01/04/2016
» Good news, people. The National Research Department of All Delicious Things That Are Apparently Bad For You has made a new scientific discovery: low-calorie diets are actually bad for you. It is, in fact, better to consume fatty, sugary, carb-loaded foods, such as doughnuts, ice cream cake and chocolate frappes. Y'know, like how the Neanderthals were doing it for thousands of years before the vegans took over the world with their quinoa and chia seeds?

Winter Wonderlands
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/11/2015
» Can you feel that? The winter breeze is finally passing through Thailand. Well, either that or you’ve just walked through 7-Eleven’s doors. Nevertheless, it’s nearly December, and what does this mean? Scouring Uniqlo for fleeces on discount, “sick” day planning, last-minute reports, fantasising about what to do with your year-end bonus and, of course, checking which parties are worth hitting up. To save you some time, Guru has compiled a guide to festivals and fairs that will take place before the new year arrives. Sobriety, of course, is not guaranteed.

A feast for foodies
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 21/08/2015
» Whether you're a burger fanatic who is frustrated over the use of processed cheese on top of your Wagyu patty, a steak lover whose blood pressure rises every time you have to explain what you meant when you ordered your rib-eye "bleu", or just an ordinary foodie who appreciates good food and good wine, the World Gourmet Festival (WGF) is truly an unmissable event.

Tricks of the traits
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/03/2015
» Bangkokians are a rare — and confusing — breed. When the economy looks grim, we build more shopping malls. When there is a protest or coup, we turn it into a music festival. When there’s too much pollution, we suck it in like it’s the smell of fresh laundry. To be called a Bangkokian is something that must be earned. Residing around Sukhumvit and spending a quarter of your time stuck in traffic may score you a few points, but believe us, it takes a lot more than that before you can really embrace the status. But fear not, dear readers — Guru has compiled an instruction manual of the basic Bangkokian traits you need to grasp (or at least know about) to blend in with the locals.

Winter pop-ups winter
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 28/11/2014
» Noticed something different about Bangkok? No, it’s not the traffic-free roads or that Thais have stopped taking photos of their meals before eating (ha! Don’t be ridiculous). We’ll give you a clue: it’s in the air and it’s making us a little less miserable. It’s the beginning of winter, or, as we know it — the extremely short period of the year when the whole country gets giddy over a two-to-four degree dip in temperature. Nevertheless, we’re going to take full advantage of this and guide you to this winter’s best seasonal pop-ups.
