Egyptian excavation
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 14/02/2014
» THE SET-UP: Like a sore thumb that has been dipped in 18k gold, covered in gemstones and wrapped in linen cloth, Tut’s Cafe stands out from its neighbouring eateries on the third floor of Paradise Park. On first glance, you probably can’t decide whether the place is a museum, a jewellery store or a cafe and the answer is actually all of the aforementioned. Showy opulence is in the air here (which may feel gaudy to some). First, your red carpet walk is flanked by clear obelisks that display statues and golden pens inside. You then may ogle the reproductions of real jewellery pieces found in museums before you plop onto one of the velvety wing chairs next to a coffee table with a marble top and golden legs, waiting to be waited on. The patrons here are mostly Asian tourists and Thais.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/12/2013
» New Year’s is time to look back at what has happened during the year that is about to pass. The media usually takes this opportunity to do a round-up of memorable moments. As an esteemed publication ourselves, we decided to do our very own recapping of 2013 (and because we’re too lazy to go out and find new stories). The year hasn’t been a thoroughly smooth ride but we were certainly never bored. Bye-bye, 2013!
