Samui's extreme escape
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/04/2017
» Some holidays should be spent being active and exploring new places, while others should be reserved for extreme relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. If you're after the latter, there's no need to look any further than here.
The rice president
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 07/04/2017
» <b>The setting:</b> Arroz is situated in a dainty house on the lower end of the leafy street of Soi 53. A quiet residential area that's been asking for an eatery that serves up something other than pizza and sushi.
The spaces between us

» No doubt, Bangkok has its fair share of issues that hover over the urban landscape. From developers chasing out communities to make way for even more condominiums to the lack of greenery -- and don't get us started on the state of footpaths and the Jackson Pollock-inspired electrical wires we have proudly exhibiting all around town -- there's clearly a lot for our eyes to take in.
A southern pearl with personality

» Forget the usual beach huts and bland hotel buildings you've seen on your previous visits to Phuket. Instead, imagine an eye-popping destination set on a lush and tranquil beachfront where the sand stretches for miles and the sea is made up of 20 different shades of blue. Welcome to The Slate.
I beg your parden

» If you weren't sold on the two magic words parfait parlor, I don't know what your stomach is made of because mine was ready at the doors two minutes before its opening hours.
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.
Ruck & Roll

» Now that the Super Bowl is over and Six Nations is back on, it's time to get stuck into rugby. You know, it's the sport where they pass the odd-shaped ball backwards and -- oh yeah, Dan Carter.
Hunting for rice bowls
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 17/02/2017
» For those of you familiar with poke, you'll know that this rice bowl trend has been fast and hard-hitting the East and West Coast of the US, as well as Australia. It's no surprise that this healthy option is quickly becoming the next big thing. After all -- what with the rise of clean-eating and the guilt-trips that we continue to inflict on ourselves every time we see those skinny b**ches in yoga pants -- this certainly makes sense.
Peace of prim

» If you've ever found yourself around Thong Lor with time to spare -- whether it's waiting for that forever-late friend or in the rare instance when you find yourself being unfashionably early -- aside from drinking or eating your way round, there's really not much to do. Sukhumvit may be laden with spas, but the Golden Soi certainly could do with a few more -- especially ones that aren't going to tear your wallet apart. You know, not everyone who wants to get pampered needs to be dipped in a gold bath and get charged their monthly salary for it.
Let's get Baked
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 03/02/2017
» Open the doors to this dainty bakery and cafe on Soi 33 and you'll be immediately greeted by the smell of baked goodies and a very welcoming reception from co-owners Ning and Tong. These two affable ladies have taken over the spot that used to be 'Fat Beagle' -- which was also a bakery -- and decked it out in a homey yet modern style that's seriously inviting. If you ever find yourself in the area, it's a real must to drop in for a slice of cake.
