    You an Elf or a Grinch?

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 23/12/2016

    » There are two types of people in this world: those who live for Christmas lights, ugly sweaters and an endless airplay of We Wish You A Merry Christmas; and those who seek to hibernate through the "winter" and wake up only when times are sane again. Here are signs that you're either straight outta Santa's workshop or the spawn of Scrooge.

    Karma's on our Side

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/03/2017

    » Her name draws immediate intrigue. On one hand, it's just a damn cool and contemporary name. On the other hand, knowing that she's repping Thailand in an all-female group exhibition celebrating women for the occasion of International Women's Day, we're curious of what themes and images this clearly multicultural homie will bring to the table. We spoke to 29-year-old artist Karma Sirikogar to pick her brains about feminism and also learn more about her background and style of visual abstraction.

    Boteya's got soul

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 11/03/2016

    » The quiet end of CentralWorld is making a comeback, with the renovation of Isetan's supermarket and the opening of a few new Japanese chains such as Boteya. Located right outside Isetan on the mall's third floor, this ready-to-eat teppan restaurant is quite secluded from the main hub of eateries at CentralWorld, but nevertheless catches your eye with its edgy, dark interior. As a stylish yet commercial diner, the layout is refreshingly simple. Through the large, open front, you can see that there are just two neat rows of tables leading to an open kitchen in back. No dividers, no mirror illusions or cheesy symbols of Japan --just clean, chic and modern simplicity.

    Suriya’s emporium of wonders

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 30/10/2015

    » Frankly, there isn’t much to see in Pattaya. Once lusted-for beaches are now reputed for their tragic shape. Towns seem frozen in renovation or plain deserted, and the major attractions, now decades old, have long lost their lustre and intrigue. That’s why Suriya Music Art, a six-month-old music and antiques appreciation centre in Chon Buri’s Sattahip district, is a sign of hope for Pattaya tourism’s rebirth.

    A very literal guy

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 16/10/2015

    » When he’s not working as an international sales executive, Kerati “Boss” Keratichewanun is recording YouTube covers of superstars such as Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber. For a guy who, to put it nicely, painfully can’t sing, he sure can make people cry — from laughing. He sings these international radio hits in Thai, and like the upstanding bro that he is, makes sure no word is left untranslated. The result is a brutally literal parody of the original, coupled with equally droll visuals, keeping viewers begging for more.

    Cone you eat the whole thing?

    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 21/08/2015

    » We've seen pizza chains attempt to excite us by making square or rectangular pizzas -- wow, so impressive -- but here's a chain that has turned the classic flat circle into a 3D geometrical shape. Kono Pizza, an Italian pizza franchise, is now serving its famous cone-shaped pizza at Terminal 21.
