    Art opening

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/11/2014

    » The first creative offering of the week comes tonight (Nov 21) in the form of an exhibition launch for My Name Is... A Communal Art Experience by Chun Kawara. It’s over in Chinatown at new space Cho Why (Soi Nana 17, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, fb.com/chowhybkk) — could this part of the city be becoming the next Ekamai? The show is a pictorial representation of Chun’s work based on the idea of adults transposing their childhood as a way to build connections. After all, we were all kiddies once. It’s on from 6pm, with free entry. Should be worth braving the traffic for.

    Peek-a-boo

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 08/08/2014

    » The team that delivered the ever-popular Hyde & Seek gastro bar on Ruam Rudee in 2010 has dropped the long-awaited follow-up venue in Peek-a-Boo. And, as suggested by the name (which is known as ja-ay in Thai), they are in a particularly playful mood. The interior (courtesy of the fresh-faced 10 x 10 Design Studio) is in fact a forest of trees, three to be exact, with the bar positioned in the biggest trunk. There’s plenty of dark timber and greenery draped around the airy space that extends to two outdoor areas and room for 150 people. Groove as a food district is still finding its feet (and taste buds), and might need to rely more on nearby hotel patronage, but it has loads of potential with its breezy layout and solid spread of options, in what should be perfect for the indecisive who can just opt for Groove and decide the specific cuisine on arrival.

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 30/05/2014

    » Strange days have indeed found us, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying ourselves in this fair city. We just need to be a little more creative about it. And while many staple venues have been closing cautiously early, certain others are bending the curfew boundaries, particularly local neighbourhood bars. Just ask around (and jump on Grab Taxi phone app if you need safe passage after hours). Still, some stoic organisers are bravely persisting. The show must go on, right? And while we definitely advise checking online before attending events to see if they are going ahead, here are some curfew-cautious tips for finding some action over the next week.

    Med spread at Moko

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 07/05/2014

    » Located in one of the burgeoning leafy sois of mid-Sathon, Moko Coffee & Eatery is a recent addition to the daytime dining scene of the city. It’s located just round the corner from some fair competition in Rocket, the Swedish-tinged brunch juggernaut. But at Moko the trajectory is of a different Euro-flavour, with an unashamed Mediterranean bent, executed with panache and poise. Modelled on (multi) shophouse proportions, the interior is an airy open-plan room of blacks and whites with plenty of natural light and an easy ambience to welcome you in off the street. The soft jazz sets the tone right, and you can almost feel the heat and bustle outside slipping away as you dip your croissant in your coffee. The crowd is a mix of Europeans trying to feel closer to home and well-heeled local residents that know their latte from their larb.
