'Tis the season to give back
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 08/12/2017
» Alas, December is here and we at Guru now deem it appropriate to ring in the Christmas cheer. We trust that you, dear readers, ignored anything Christmas-related blasted to you before the beginning of this month. From today, we now declare it to officially be the season to be jolly; the season to get presents; the season to buy presents and most importantly, the season to give! And give back, maybe? This week we focus on gifts for Christmas and the new year that give back. These gifting ideas may clear your conscience and make you feel less guilty about all the naughty, naughty things you did in 2017. And if you were a saint for the entire year, well... perhaps you'll be sleeping even better every night knowing you bought one of these.

Notes from Bangkok
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 02/06/2017
» This week, we're bringing you some musical notes through the likes of Bangkok's hottest -- in our most humble opinion -- singer-songwriters. Because in the age of digital, sometimes it's sweeter to go back to analogue. It's nice to appreciate where music came from not so long ago... It ain't just about the bashing of thumbs on laptops or the scratching of vinyls, you know? It's also about the strumming of guitar strings, the hitting of plastic and leather and the sound of a larynx voicing notes that came from somewhere close to the beat of a human heart! Yes, besides becoming Asia's hub for electronic music, Bangkok's equally also driving some of the slightly more natural sounds that continue to resonate with our musical souls. And we seem to have some pretty skilled lyricists on our turf too. Check these guys out before they blow up. Whoops, some of them already have!

Songkran in 2097
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 14/04/2017
» Songkran, Songkran, Songkran. We know what you're all about. Thousands of stories are written about you every year. Stories of the good deeds done; the hottest water guns; who was fined B100 for showing more skin than deemed appropriate and how many gallons of the not-to-be-named-liquid-that-causes sheer-and-utter-inebriation was consumed over the New Year... we've been celebrating Songkran for years so we know the drill.

A poetic city getaway
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 14/04/2017
» You're a hard-working city dweller who doesn't have time to drive two hours out of Bangkok to get that much deserved rest and relaxation you're craving. You probably haven't even realised you need to take a break; all those long nights at the office have just morphed into one long humdrum existence. You've also probably completely forgotten the meaning of wellness. Well, if you have, please, let Guru remind you.

Swept away
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 11/11/2016
» It was quite an intriguing experience being picked up at an airport by a private speedboat. Never mind that I was in the Maldives, a country I had never before been, standing outside the airport and staring out at the glistening azure Indian Ocean, probably one of the most beautiful visuals I've ever seen in my life. No no, the speedboat marked my departure from reality.

From nightclubs to nature
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 18/11/2016
» As Bangkok's nightclubs cool down on their opening hours and the weather follows suit with cooler and more bearable temperatures, the urge to spend time in nature has grown. Call us crazy but there's something so soothing about spending time immersed in greenery, inhaling nothing but oxygen and the smell of real earth, instead of that foul drain smell Bangkokians have become accustomed to. Wasn't it amid such greenery, in a forest not so far away that the Lord Buddha found enlightenment? OK, we're not suggesting you escape the city life to reach nirvana or anything. Unless of course, you want to. But, it's good to know that a lot of peace and tranquillity can come from just sitting still and, without sounding too cheesy, taking in the beauty and wonder that is nature.
