The hotel opened in November last year and offers stylish and sumptuous rooms and suites with a total of 248 units. Courtyard By Marriott Phuket Town offers a blend of the cultural heritage and the contemporary style of Courtyard's identity.

Easy living
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 16/08/2019
» Living in Bangkok has its share of ups and downs. Then again, what city doesn't? We know we complain about living in the city in every issue we publish (we have plenty more) but that doesn't mean there are people who share the same grievances, but unlike us who just whine, have decided to do something about it. Sure, there are plenty of things to be improved upon or done away within Bangkok and we're pretty sure we all can write a long list. But we're sincerely glad to see that there are services like these that make not just living in Bangkok a little easier, but also living a greener, more-eco friendly life in the city more viable. And who's going to refuse a greener and easier lifestyle? Here are a few services to try out.
The new black gold
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 24/08/2018
» Canadian Blake Dinkin is the creator and owner of the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, refined naturally by elephants — Black Ivory Coffee. Partnering with Ban Taklang in Surin and the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, Dinkin produces "elephant dung coffee". However, production of Black Ivory Coffee provides valuable income for elephant care-giving families, as well as students who are taught how to wash and dry the coffee. The mission of Black Ivory Coffee is to take a negative situation, namely human-elephant conflict and turn it into a positive one by creating a luxury product that helps not hurts elephants, as Dinkin tells Guru.

» The Nokia 6 is the latest model from the Finnish company that's putting them back in the smartphone game. While this is their latest model, it's not as advanced as their top-tier Nokia 8 (duh), which we previously reviewed. The Nokia 6 is the company's entry to mid-range smartphones, and if you're considering buying one, we think it's an option aside from the usual big name smartphones out there.
