All You Need Is Paco
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 12/07/2019
» I may not be an art enthusiast/fanatic but I do appreciate any work of art when I see one. The amount of visual creativity and artistic effort one has put into something is quite admirable and rewarding for them. So when I stepped into Paco Bangkok, a small but cosy smoothie bowl cafe whose owners inject a bit of art into their desserts, you can colour me impressed with what I saw. But would I also be impressed with what I tasted? Read on to find out.

Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 28/12/2018
» Who says chocolate can't be art? With more than 13 years experience, master chocolatier Sarath Nimlamai has established the eponymous Sarath N. Chocolatier where he specialises in crafting and serving all things chocolate, with a primary focus on the sweet, small and chocolatey-filled bonbons. What's unique about his craft is his ability to fuse unique ingredients into said bonbons such as Thai liqueur and fruits such as raspberry and mango. Having opened in October, he opened up this small and minimalist chocolate shop in the hopes of showcasing what Thailand can offer with chocolate, with the cacao home-grown in a farm outside the city.

Parks and Recreation
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 30/11/2018
» Winter is coming. In fact, the Thai winter has already breezed its way into Bangkok, with cool mornings and breezy nights. When Mother Nature gives us these signals, we, living in the concrete jungle, shouldn't ignore them. In fact, gear up for the next mini vacay to cooler lands within the Kingdom, as parks, farms and beyond are all blowing in the wind!

Biker brunch
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 18/05/2018
» Food and vehicles may seem like an unlikely collaboration, but if prior efforts are of any evidence, it's that automobile/motorcycle cafes are no strangers to experimentation. From Ducati's concept restaurant a few years back in Thong Lor to Honda's recent collaboration with Greyhound at CUB House in Ekamai, these hybrid eateries are where diners have a meal while attending a casual motorshow. Sathorn's brunch cafe Luka has collaborated with BMW Thailand dealer MF Motorad to bring their second branch named Luka Moto, a cafe that aims to accommodate those with a lifestyle that relies on the need for speed. Having opened in March, the two-floor motorcycle-centric brunch spot is on the ground floor of The Taste Mall on Thong Lor 11, and is a haven for motorbike enthusiasts and brunch fans alike.

Hidden in plain sight
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 08/06/2018
» There is no doubt Thailand's nightlife is booming with bars and drinks with unusual names and concoctions. And speaking of which, for every new bar that opens, there has to be a gimmick of some sort to attract bar patrons. Which brings us to this week's cover story for which we went around the city looking for bars with hard-to-spot entrances. After constantly getting lost and double checking Google Maps on our phones, we managed to list four hidden (well not-so-hidden now that we're writing about them) bars for the adventurous bar hoppers who would like to do a bit of effort in getting a drink. Half the fun is discovering them on your own so we included an elusive metre in terms of difficulty finding each tavern, as well as providing a few hints to help guide you on your way. Whether you have already discovered them (shush!) or in need of a change of setting and have a sense of exploration with friends, then Godspeed!
