» Built around a cave temple that once served as a meditative retreat for Buddhist monks, Kamalaya Koh Samui manages to top many other wellness retreats that I have been to. This is largely because its focus isn't only to provide you with a peaceful sanctuary that is an escape from the rest of the world but also to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself. The thoughtfully prepared food, great service and the company of the people there make Kamalaya overshadows a regular beach holiday to no end.

» Before Beast Burger's first opened on Chiang Mai's Nimmanhaemin Road in 2014, the burger joint was already well-known for its bright yellow food truck that busted out juicy American-style burgers. Although the business is no longer from a truck, its spirit is kept alive in Beast Burger's outlook and interiors. Beast & Butter, the brand's first outpost in Bangkok, stands out with its vivid yellow facade. The same colour scheme continues inside. The vibrant, relaxed space is furnished to carry a retro-ish vibe, with brown leather upholstery booths, marble top tables and ceramic green tiles.

Flavours of the Mediterranean
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 29/11/2019
» Nestled inside a residential village off Rama IX, the whitewashed two-storey house gives the impression of a Greek restaurant that is fresh and contemporary-looking. Inside, the gleam of brass light fixtures against bleached stone walls creates a classy feel; while dark wooden furniture and granite floors tone that down a little for a casual, homey vibe. The scheme of ocean blue runs throughout the place in the form of comfy cushions and blue glassware, which help bring a touch of flair to the rather neutral-toned dining room. The restaurant is spacious, with space for 100 diners. However, this doesn't mean reservations are not needed.
