The art of being a Bangkokian
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/04/2016
» Despite the common perception that Bangkok is one of the most exciting and convenient of cities to live in, surviving this concrete jungle requires its inhabitants have far more than thick skin and a love for shopping malls. This entails a certain know-how, a knack of knowing-how-to-get-s***-done, or as we like to call it, the art of being a Bangkokian.

Winter Wonderlands
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 27/11/2015
» Can you feel that? The winter breeze is finally passing through Thailand. Well, either that or you’ve just walked through 7-Eleven’s doors. Nevertheless, it’s nearly December, and what does this mean? Scouring Uniqlo for fleeces on discount, “sick” day planning, last-minute reports, fantasising about what to do with your year-end bonus and, of course, checking which parties are worth hitting up. To save you some time, Guru has compiled a guide to festivals and fairs that will take place before the new year arrives. Sobriety, of course, is not guaranteed.

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.

Stall standing
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/06/2015
» Following the heartbreaking news concerning the removal of food stalls on Sukhumvit Soi 38 (Bangkok's foodie paradise), many are distraught, with not a clue as to where our favourite food vendors (whom we love to hit up after a long night of fist-pumping) will relocate. As humongous malls and super-ultra-luxurious condominiums continue to expand and occupy every square metre of the city, it won't be long until we're digging into a B200 som tam on the 60th floor of some lacklustre, air-conditioned, concrete tower.

V-Day Playbook
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/02/2015
» Ah, the most romantic (dreaded) day of the year is back, and how lucky for couples who have already planned a luxury getaway to Paris or stocked up on gallons of wine and whipped cream (not that we’re suggesting anything). Then there are those of us who completely forgot and are trying to force a bunch of leaves into the shape of a rose bouquet. All this pressure and frustration, it’s surprising why we haven’t converted Feb 14 into something more meaningful, like Cockroach Unappreciation Day. But fear not, Guru is here to give you a rundown on how to get through Valentine’s Day this year, whether you’re a lover, a player or a stay-at-home loner with 10 cats.

Insta-preneur
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/08/2014
» Two years ago, Nachapol “Nach” Triwongwaranat co-founded Instaprinta (www.instaprinta.me, fb.com/instaprintame), which has become a household name. Known for providing an exciting live Instagram printing experience for weddings and parties, the service enables attendees to go home with their very own Instagram photo printouts from the event. From programming and configuring the printers to marketing and approaching event agencies, the 26-year-old has now expanded Instaprinta to Singapore and Malaysia. But despite the seemingly primrose path ahead, this young entrepreneur isn’t ready to kick back and relax (just yet).

Dining-in directory
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 19/09/2014
» Spoiler alert: It’s rainy season; it’s chucking down like there has been a drought for two years and the traffic is just as painful to watch as it is to be stuck in. The chances of leaving the office by car and actually making it to dinner at 7pm on the dot is close to zero. And unless the new PM decides to add cars to his next ban list (along with shisha/hookah), commuting in Bangkok city is a painful experience that one must simply suck up and face (yes, weekends included). So to make life a little easier, and to help you continue to have the best eating experiences you’ve been accustomed to, we’ve compiled a list of places that deliver culinary treats and drinks for every occasion.

Hitting the 30s
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 15/08/2014
» Three sois in the heart of town have filled up with so many new restaurants and cafes we decided to designate it a foodie zone. It could be the fact that there’s no more space on Sukhumvit Soi 31 (if there was a Thai version of Monopoly, this would be Park Lane) and with Appia, Bella Napoli and Isao reigning supreme, diners can be seen queuing for dinner at ridiculous hours like 4:30pm. So what are new restaurants to do? Scooch down a couple of sois, it seems. We’ve compiled a list of new eateries in Sukhumvit Sois 31, 33 and 39 so you’ll be able to plan your whole day and night around this area and avoid having to curse and honk your horn at the non-moving traffic. Hurry on down before everyone decides to migrate to Sukhumvit Soi 41.
