Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 01/10/2021
» From bustling Sukhumvit to the CBD area of Sathon to suburban Charoen Rat, Bangkok has many, "Crafes", our own portmanteau of cafe and crafts, that are tucked away and waiting to be discovered. Apart from their delectable dishes and photogenic corners to step up your social media game, they also offer workshops to pick up new skills. Whether you are a die-hard cafe hopper seeking a new route or someone looking to chill but also learn a new craft, Guru has complied a handy cafe-and-craft guide.
Everything old is new again
Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 11/10/2019
» Bangkok is a city that constantly sees new constructions reaching up to the sky. But if you look close enough, a great number of ancient homes are being brought back to life, reborn with renewed purpose. They demonstrate that embracing historical beauty along with modern innovation produces fascinating and profitable results, with the reassurance that architecturally significant homes are being kept alive. Over the recent years, such places have been popping up more and we hope they continue to. Guru has scoped out some of Bangkok's most admirable, century-old homes to discover the stories behind them.
Final curtain call
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 09/11/2018
» For nearly 50 years, the Dusit Thani Bangkok has welcomed the likes of royalty, dignitaries, celebrities and common folk. From the late US president Ronald Reagan to singer Enrique Iglesias to an inconsequential magazine writer like me, the hotel has had a rich history. But despite its age, it's looking good and isn't slowing down at all, even if it is closing its doors in early January. Sure, it's only temporary but it's closing for a pretty sizeable amount of time -- at least three and a half years. However, does that mean there's nothing at the Dusit Thani except for weathered walls, an aged building and an establishment that's on its way out? Nothing could be farther from the truth.
