    » As the director of Petpro (www.petpro.co.th, fb.com/petprosupermarket), Thitikhun “Ploy” Yoovidhya will stop at nothing to grow her pet empire. The 25-year-old’s first business was Pawpals, a mobile pet grooming service that gained much success especially with pet communities and pet owners who don’t have time to trim and groom their furry friends.

    The campaigns

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 03/10/2014

    » Recently, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha issued a 23-page policy statement on how he intends to get this country back on its feet. Of course, we’re not one to criticise his foolproof plans, nor suggest that he should come up with another song, this time collaborating with popular artists like Thaitanium or Joey Boy to keep the young’uns from switching radio stations every time the tune comes on. Instead, Guru enlists the help of aspiring change-makers from different industries to come up with their own political campaigns of what improvements they’d like to see, what laws should be implemented and even the lyrics to their own songs; so if the present and future PMs ever run out of ideas, they’ll know where to look.

    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.

    One helluva juicy deal

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 21/08/2015

    » I hate commitment. And if my other half is currently reading this, don't start getting giddy, thinking you've dodged a bullet. What I mean is, I hate the kind of commitment that involves signing a 12-month contract at the gym, which also happens to come with a hefty cancellation fee.

    Pick up a healthy habit

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 04/09/2015

    » I like to think that I lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. I drag myself to the gym at least five days a week and even try to avoid carbs for dinner -- big emphasis on "try".

    Laid-back Jubei

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/09/2015

    » Tucked away at the back of Ploenchit's epicurean centre of Mahatun Plaza (home to La Monita Taqueria, Osito, Hair of the Dog and many other famed bars and eateries), is an izakaya worth raving about. The owners are three F&B professionals who noticed the lack of a casual Japanese hangout in the area -- prior to its opening existed only the extremely high-end, rip-your-wallet-apart kind of places, or the get-what-you-pay-for takeaway onigiri -- and decided to take matters into their own hands.

    Croissant cloud nine

    Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/10/2015

    » Yes, I'm a pastry addict, and there's no shame in admitting that I rather quite enjoy stuffing my face with three different types of croissants and calling it a relatively healthy breakfast.
