To markets, To (Indie) markets
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 12/09/2014
» You would think Bangkokians have their shopping needs fulfilled to the brim already, given the ever-growing number of malls out there. To the contrary, there are many more special marketplaces that are popping up around the capital to offer different vibes and goodies. This weekend alone there will be two niche markets – Million Bike Market for bicyclists and Pet Design Fair for dog and cat people. We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.

Culinary comeback
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/08/2014
» Kiosk isn't exactly a new name. After almost two years of absence, Kiosk, which used to be at Thailand Creative & Design Center, has made a comeback at a new location. It shares the same precinct with other shops at The Barkyard Bangkok, a dog-centric community space that opened last month. If you think Kiosk serves grab-and-go food through a small window as suggested by the name, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its size and selection of food. Sit al fresco if you like to people- and dog-watch while eating. Opt for the indoor dining area with its masculine and rustic feel if you don't want to risk any dogs jumping on your lap to steal food off your plate. We visited after it had been open for three weeks and most of the patrons were people who live nearby.

Let There Be (En) Light (enment)
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/07/2014
» Some of you may be feeling like you have to give up your weekend bar-hopping since today is Asarnha Bucha Day and tomorrow is Buddhist Lent Day (never thought these holy days would appear on our sin-filled pages, did you?). Instead of giving you tips for being ordained into monkhood or what kind of animal to release to gain the most merit, we want to help you nurture your spirituality with our selection of peace-loving havens that can be found right here in Bangkok. We also have other cool ways to make merit without having to get up super early to give alms to Buddhist monks. May the inner peace be with you.

Aww-dorable Cafes
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 01/08/2014
» Thais are crazy for cute stuff. It is a fact. Remember how fast LINE and Rilakkuma tumblers from 7-Eleven sold out? How many times have you chatted with friends through stickers and emoji instead of actual letters? Do you know how many celeb dogs and cats there are in the Thai Facebook sphere nowadays? (They could fill a paperback book). What we’re trying to say is that cuteness is a real commodity here and some cafes in Bangkok are combining adorable edibles with cute characters to create their own atmosphere. Check out these mung ming frung fring (it’s how Thai kids are saying “cute” these days) venues to get your cute and cake fixes. Disclaimer: cuteness overload ahead.

From Pla ra to Prada
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/06/2014
» A true Bangkokian would have already been to Central Embassy by now (and studied the fancy control panel of its toilets). For a mall that houses Chanel, Gucci and Hermes, it may come as a surprise that it does offer a food court, albeit a slicker-than-average one with Eathai. Featuring four zones, Street Food is dedicated to selected stalls, Krua 4 Pak offers regional food from outlets of well-known restaurants, Talad Eathai has snacks, cooking ingredients, spa and souvenir products, and Issaya Cooking Studio doubles as a cooking school and the kitchen of Issaya-Patisserie, which is on the fifth level. Like FoodLoft, you’ll be handed a ticket to be used within the 5,000-sqm area of Eathai and charged on your way out. Unlike your standard food court where you eat inches away from others, Krua 4 Pak offers a spacious and airy feel, thanks to the large windows and high ceiling. It is divided into four zones, according to Thai culinary regions. Each zone is nicely decorated to reflect each region. You can sit underneath big umbrellas at the northern zone, for instance. The crowd we saw during our visit was mostly Thais.
