Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 26/02/2023
» If you've been keeping up with trends, you'll know that Y2K fashion is taking fashionistas by storm. From baggy jeans to crop tops, platform shoes to mini denim skirts, and colourful hair clips to over-ear headphones, they are making a comeback while showing a knack of nostalgia for some millennials who thought these trends were shelved for good. In response to the return of Y2K fashion, Guru By Bangkok Post has gathered a list of thrift shops and secondhand markets that offer unique fashion pieces to pull off a style statement. Who's ready to pop some tags?
Walk the walk
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 08/07/2022
» When was the last time you felt this much buzz in Bangkok? Whether it's newfangled coffee shops, weekend gigs to attend or public screenings to catch. The best ones are the free ones along the city's walking streets and night bazaars. It's time to get out there and explore again. Here's a list of the up-and-coming (and reopening) ones, some of which have events, too.
Turning a new leaf
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 24/06/2022
» To all Thais, now you can proudly brag that we're the first Asian country to legalise marijuana. The new milestone was marked on June 9, 2022, when growing and trading cannabis were no longer a crime in Thailand. Smoking gets a green light too, but puffing a joint in public is still prohibited. With a newfangled marijuana business popping up around the city, we list dispensaries in Bangkok for those who are curious. We also asked the weedness-owners about their backgrounds and basics for begin-stoners.
Trash to treasure
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 10/06/2022
» Going green is the new black and it’s true for the Thai fashion scene. To belatedly celebrate World Environment Day, Guru speaks to inventive Thai designers/entrepreneurs, who offer eco-conscious customers sustainable fashion items made from trash. They explain misunderstandings about trashion like "Why does it cost more?" and "Is sustainable fashion just upcycling waste?"
Happy new year!

» As the year comes to a close, it's fitting to gather your family and friends for a big celebratory send-off for 2021. If you're stuck and don't know where to go, here are a few places that might help you out.
Songkran summertime
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 09/04/2021
» Summer is here and Songkran is around the corner so get your water guns ready because Bangkok is about to become an all-out water war zone! Wait, no water battles? For two consecutive years? Sadly, Songkran hasn't been the same since Rona came around and it seems like we have to wait yet another year to -- hopefully -- celebrate Songkran in the wet and wild way we're familiar with. But that doesn't mean your summer has to be a bummer or that Songkran has to be spent cooped up at home -- though we know it's certainly tempting since it's getting too dang hot outside. Here are some things you can do this Songkran summertime besides being sad that water fights aren't a thing again this year.
The year ahead
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/01/2021
» 2021 is finally here and we can finally put "The Year That Must Not Be Named" behind us! Though we're not entirely out of the woods yet, the fact remains that a new year means we can turn a new leaf and look forward to the things yet to come this year. Here is a list of things that are in store for us, which hopefully -- fingers crossed -- may actually take place this year.
