To markets, To (Indie) markets
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/09/2014
» You would think Bangkokians have their shopping needs fulfilled to the brim already, given the ever-growing number of malls out there. To the contrary, there are many more special marketplaces that are popping up around the capital to offer different vibes and goodies. This weekend alone there will be two niche markets – Million Bike Market for bicyclists and Pet Design Fair for dog and cat people. We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.

Concrete jungle
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/09/2014
» Living in Bangkok is like eating a durian — you either love it or hate it, but it's usually smelly. There are those who are Bangkok-born and bred and those who have travelled thousands of miles to live in the so-called City of Angels (or #CityofSelfies, which seems more appropriate nowadays). Don't be fooled by the beautiful temples and overpopulation of 7-Elevens, as living here is not easy and it takes a lot more than an ability to eat spicy food and knowing the BTS map by heart to be called a Bangkokian. Here are some tell-tale signs that you have what it takes to survive the city.

The fine line between jokes and abuse
Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 22/08/2014
» Thai teen series <i>Hormones</i> became known last season for showing the provocative, daring and unexpected. It is a show with guts that breaks the conservative tradition of most Thai TV shows. Now in its second season, barriers have once again been broken in almost every episode. Nothing remains fresher in my memory, however, than the fourth episode of the season, titled after the female lead characters of <i>Dao and Koi</i>.

The new Siam
Guru, Published on 18/07/2014
» During the political drama and mayhem earlier this year, we noticed that packs of thigh-high-skirt-wearing college girls and guys with too-cool-for-school haircuts had somehow migrated from Siam to other areas of the city. Now that “peace” has been restored (along with the awfully catchy patriotic song), Siam Square is back in better shape than ever with a brand new shopping mall and new hangout spots that have opened within the last six months. Get your folding fans out and layer on your SPF 50+ creams as we show you how to spend a day on the air-con-less side of Siam.

Let There Be (En) Light (enment)
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/07/2014
» Some of you may be feeling like you have to give up your weekend bar-hopping since today is Asarnha Bucha Day and tomorrow is Buddhist Lent Day (never thought these holy days would appear on our sin-filled pages, did you?). Instead of giving you tips for being ordained into monkhood or what kind of animal to release to gain the most merit, we want to help you nurture your spirituality with our selection of peace-loving havens that can be found right here in Bangkok. We also have other cool ways to make merit without having to get up super early to give alms to Buddhist monks. May the inner peace be with you.

Mindful about the importance of being green
News, Supoj Wancharoen, Published on 28/06/2014
» The lush vegetation spread around Somdet Chaopraya Hospital seems to belie the image of a stark, state-run institution in a country that has always had poor psychiatric facilities.
