On your bike
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/09/2012
» Bicycle-friendly Bangkok sounds like an oxymoron given how inhospitable the city's streets are. However, many local groups are initiating a strong movement to promote bicycling in the city as a way to get fit, ease traffic congestion, and save the world. And in case you want to become a part of this healthy cycle of change, here's our round-up of basic aspects of bicycling in the city you need to know.

Creativity you can chew
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 05/10/2012
» While this magical thing called your "eyesight" may help you see that there are a ton of Japanese restaurants in Thailand, recent statistics have also indicated just how many joints are popping up faster than the rising sun. The Organisation to Promote Japanese Restaurants Abroad (JRO) and other sources say there are 1,676 Japanese restaurants in Thailand as of June this year, according to The Nation. In Bangkok alone, nihon eateries account for 8.3 per cent of all restaurants, following those that serve Thai food.

Food fads
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/08/2013
» Remember the time when Rotiboy imposed a quota of 10 buns per person? Remember when you had to get in a long line to taste the glory that is Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts? Remember the time when opportunists were reselling the said glory across the street from Siam Paragon?

Up in the air
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/02/2014
» Given the many rooftop places in Bangkok, finding a good one is like figuring out which of the zillions of cars on the street below belongs to your friend from the height of 30-something floors with your naked eye. Zoom is the latest entry to the high-altitude market and it proves to be worth the 40-floor elevator ride to get there. Decor-wise, Zoom keeps it minimal and modern as if not to compete with the mesmerising panoramic view of the city below. The open-air venue offers three zones. For an intimate LED-lit dinner, we recommend the lower level where you can lounge on big comfy couches. Head upstairs to the bar to get your drink on. The patrons are mostly hotel guests and execs in the area.

Splish splash
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/04/2014
» There was a fuss made recently over a report that a company planned to organise Songkran celebrations in Singapore. Like a motorcycle taxi’s seat pre-heated by the April midday sun, this prompted some Thais to be extra protective of what they considered exclusive to Thailand. However, we need not worry about anyone copying our Songkran since we have many elements that are so inimitable that no other country would be able to (or want to) recreate them. In honour of the upcoming Thai New Year, we present you with all the things that make Songkran uniquely Thai.

The next level
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 11/07/2014
» Dean & Deluca has taken its offerings to the next level (literally) by recently introducing a new zone and menu. Opened on Jun 20, The Mezzanine is for those who want finer fare with a side of table service. Even before reaching this new zone on the mezzanine level (obviously, as the name suggests), your appetite will probably already be building up from walking past the gourmet market, cafe corner, pizza counter and more on the ground floor. The Mezzanine offers a more grown-up atmosphere in contrast to the airy and spacious feel of downstairs. With dim lighting and marble top tables, this new space should fit an evening of after-work unwinding in style for Silom and Sathon execs or an eye-locking dinner.
