» We are a few weeks into 2022 and I suspect many of us are still trying to grapple with the events of 2021. Heck, some of us may still be dealing with 2020! Time, however, waits for no one. We’re almost to the halfway mark of January (gasp) so we need to prepare ourselves for the rest of the months to come and if you don’t know where to start, Guru has you covered. From fun games that chillax you to getting the living daylights scared out of you to apps that could help your productivity, your health and even your love life, here are a few things to help you get on track.
Into the future
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 27/08/2021
» Here's something to rattle your brain: we're now past the halfway point of 2021. It's hard to count days when we find ourselves stuck indoors on an endless loop of never-ending Covid cases, a government that denies reality and protests from people who are fed up and tired of all the crap happening around them.
The titles of 2021
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/03/2021
» We might already be in the third month of the year, but sadly, not a lot of exciting games have been released (except for one which is the first game on this list). The list of interesting titles seems to be slimmer than previous years, probably due to the situation. Nevertheless, these are the titles worth keeping an eye on. Fingers crossed none of them turn out to be the Cyberpunk of 2021.
Speed and finese

» Whether you're a fan or a hater of Apple, everyone waits expectantly whenever a new iPhone is released so you can gush over it or ridicule it. As expected, once the veil was drawn and the iPhone 12 was revealed, a whole slew of reactions came pouring forth. Some loved its design while others, including its very own competitors, made fun of the fact that it no longer comes with a charger. The iPhone 12 has been out about two weeks now so the question is this: is it deserving of the hate or the hype it's been given?
Winter wonderlands
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/11/2020
» If you haven't noticed, there's only a little over a month left for 2020 to end. This also means cooler weather all over the country and along with that comes a slew of festivals making good use of the cool breeze that makes walking outside more delightful and less of a workout. A number of these events take place outside the city, which means even cooler temperatures and breezes accompanied by fantastic views of nature. These events are a great way to enjoy the "winter season" and serve as a reminder that we've made it through 2020 so we've all earned ourselves a bit of time to enjoy what these festivals have to offer.
Green recovery
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/07/2020
» The streets of the city have roared back to life, rush hours are a thing once more and the busyness of Bangkok has returned. On one hand, it's great that everything seems to be coming back to normal.
Canadian deliciousness
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/01/2020
» O Canada! It seems like the more we know about you, the more awesome you become. Home of free healthcare, the most handsome prime minister ever and the kindest people on earth -- and I haven't even mentioned the fact that you're the geniuses that came up with the idea of smothering gravy all over fresh hot fries and also topping it off with cheese curds. While Thailand is a long-shot away from Canada, we're fortunate to get a little taste of the North American country in the form of arguably their best export next to Celine Dion's albums and Ryan Reynolds' talent: Tim Hortons.
Mexican with a twist
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 10/01/2020
» Mexican cuisine used to be something you had to hunt down in Bangkok but recent years have seen more and more restos popping up all around. Now, it's not at all difficult to have your Mexican craving satiated and while I'm one of the people who's thankful it's so easily available, it's always the "usuals" you see when you're ordering Mexican: burritos, tacos, enchiladas -- the works. "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" as the saying goes, but La Cocina has dared to give it a bit of a twist.
Bang Saray tranquillity
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 17/01/2020
» The hustle and bustle of city life, especially if the city's Bangkok, can take a toll on some. One of the easiest remedies is to escape to the nearest beach but while occasional trips are great, it may also be beneficial to have a place to call your own, sort of like your fortress of solitude or more accurately, tranquillity. For that, there may be no place better than Sunplay Club Bangsaray.
Hakuna Matata

» Phuket has long been a beach getaway for locals and tourists, and for good reason. Especially if you're a Bangkokian like me, who can resist a quick weekend getaway complete with great sights, mouth-watering food and fantastic beaches -- all of which can be reached within an hour's flight? Of course, while Phuket is a great destination, there's more aspects to a great trip that have to be planned out and that could be a little stressful. Soon enough, you'll find yourself having a headache just trying to sort out details for a vacay and once you finally do go on the trip, you start wondering whether all that stress (and the money you spent, which made your bank account run dry) was even worth it. Vacays and getaways should be stress-free, enjoyable and despite being perhaps a little pricey, still worth every single dime you spend. Enter Twinpalms MontAzure, your next beach destination. Seriously, this is your next vacay. It's not a suggestion and you'll see why.
