Power up

» Last month we rushed to see Deadpool. This month it's all about Batman V Superman. And what's that we hear? X-Men: Apocalypse is coming in May? Our obsession with ridiculously chiseled people in capes, red underwear and crazy healing abilities never ceases. If you're wondering why none of these movies are ever based Bangkok, Dear Readers, it's because not everyone with super powers is suited for our beloved city.
Au Naturale

» First of all, hats off to anyone in the F&B business attempting to do something vaguely new; us Bangkokians aren't a breed so easily persuaded to cross uncharted waters. So stubborn and set in our own ways, for a long time we actually thought the only "real" pizzas were those flat and crispy, and that the only types of cheese we favoured were those that tasted like melted plastic.
A new muse in Chiang Mai

» Dainty coffee shops, streets lined up with boutique galleries and friendly locals living the 'real' slow-life. Chiang Mai has always enjoyed a certain cool vibe, one that Bangkok seems to envy and will never replicate.
Triple threat

» These three happy faces you see are the founders of TRIBE, the spanking new indoor cycling studio located in the bustling Ratchadamri neighbourhood. Business partners, they may be, but this trio have been friends since childhood. Their shared passion for spinning led them to create a totally new workout concept that was not only focused on exercise but also on building a community of like-minded individuals who share an interest in fitness, fashion and music. We caught up with Ploy Bhinsaeng, Pasu "Luang" Liptapanlop and Natapa "Joy" Sriyuksiri to find out more about the studio and what the best track is to spin to right now.
Cool finds in Chiang Mai

» We're not just about the "new". We also dig the cool, the fun, the funky and all things slightly hidden from plain sight. So we did a little detour, stepping into one or two "just-opened" venues and we also honed in on some less-discovered (but totally awesome) places. We tried, we tested and we even got a bit lost trying to find some of these hidden gems. So without further ado, dear readers, here are our top Chiang Mai picks for this year's winter season.
Brunch on the bright side

» Goodbye Rocket Coffeebar. Hello Siwilai Cafe. Although the swanky spot on the 5th Floor of Central Embassy hasn't exactly shed its skin -- having kept the cool interiors and casual vibe -- it has however, been given a new life in the kitchen.
Lunch like you mean it

» As the end of the year approaches, we're constantly on the lookout for the perfect dining venue for eating out with friends and colleagues to celebrate making it through another year without getting fired. Hooray!
Guac me, baby, One more time

» <b>The setting:</b> They say tacos come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. And whether they're served on a plastic plate from a greasy food truck or topped off with some hipster twist at a fancy brick-and-mortar counterpart, tacos (and maybe, Mexican food in general) are man's greatest creation when it comes to types of food that go dangerously well with any alcoholic beverage.
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.
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.
