Cool finds in Chiang Mai
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/11/2016
» We're not just about the "new". We also dig the cool, the fun, the funky and all things slightly hidden from plain sight. So we did a little detour, stepping into one or two "just-opened" venues and we also honed in on some less-discovered (but totally awesome) places. We tried, we tested and we even got a bit lost trying to find some of these hidden gems. So without further ado, dear readers, here are our top Chiang Mai picks for this year's winter season.

Handpicked hamper
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 16/12/2016
» If we had it our way, the government would reconsider its stance on free speech and developers would stop building so many bloody malls. But since that's not how the world works (or at least Thailand anyway), we think it's probably a better idea to save our breaths, shut our gobs and indulge in the finer things in life instead. After all, it is the holiday season, which automatically means that calories don't count and three glasses is a perfectly decent number of vino to be had.

A political roast
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 14/10/2016
» The last few months left of the year usually welcome numerous dinner parties and gatherings with friends and colleagues. That is, if you're not stuck at the office finishing off all that work that's accumulated and sadly won't magically disappear. Head to another party and maybe it'll all blow over?

In anticipation of ANA
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 02/09/2016
» As Anantara Siam Bangkok readies its kitchen for the 17th World Gourmet Festival, we've scored an exclusive interview with Ana Roš, co-owner and chef at Hiša Franko (Kobarid, Slovenia) and one of the most anticipated headliners of this epic culinary event. It's the flowery, herbal, yet delicate and precise nature of her cooking that has made her the only woman, so far, to have joined the Cook it Raw luminaries group of chefs.

For fusion's sake

» <b>The setting:</b> There are two types of sushi restaurants in Bangkok. Ones where they serve up omakase in a setting so fancy you're probably too scared to let a cough slip out; then the casual ones where you can pretty much rock up in flip-flops ordering salmon rolls stuffed with goose liver, with no one blinking twice. Yuzuki is all about the latter.

Son of vinyl
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 23/12/2016
» Not a fan of the overplayed, for-the-masses type of music? Then you need to tune into Cat Radio, the number one independent music station in Thailand. What makes this station (available on www.thisiscat.com and application: Cat Radio) special (apart from its absence of the typical high-pitch DJs screeching down the microphone stressing the 'r's and 'l's in every sentence — yes we get it, well done, you've finally mastered the American accent!) is its unique picks of songs. This is all thanks to Arthit Promprasit, aka DJ Sonny, whose passion lies in vinyl records. He's been collecting them for over 25 years. His experience in the music field lies beyond the decks and building a huge record collection; he is also a music critic and journalist — as well as a DJ with the smoothest voice we've ever come across.

Wallet-friendly wagyu

» Plenty of beef lovers out there will understand it when we say that not many things in life could ever amount to the satisfaction of tucking into a piece of steak cooked to your absolute liking. The birth of your first child, maybe. Winning the lottery, possibly. But aside from those occasions, cutting into a medium rare rib eye that has perfect marbling is rather hard to beat.

Power up
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/03/2016
» Last month we rushed to see Deadpool. This month it's all about Batman V Superman. And what's that we hear? X-Men: Apocalypse is coming in May? Our obsession with ridiculously chiseled people in capes, red underwear and crazy healing abilities never ceases. If you're wondering why none of these movies are ever based Bangkok, Dear Readers, it's because not everyone with super powers is suited for our beloved city.

Carve 'em up
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 11/12/2015
» Following in Dubai's footsteps, Thailand is now seeing some of the most incredible entertainment centres. It seems as if there's nothing this country can't do -- from snow towns and trampoline parks to surfing complexes, we've got it all. Or so it seems.
