» A new round of student-led protests against the government erupted last Saturday in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. They demanded the dissolution of parliament, no harassment of government critics and amendments to the military-written Constitution, which they deem to secure premiership for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in elections last March. They gave the government two weeks to respond or else they would ramp up their protests.

» In his pursuit for traditional values, chef Luke Farrell has created a 'living library' of his own. Ryewater Nursey in Dorset, the UK, is the labour of Farrell's love for all things Asian, especially ingredients. On his family's 40-hectare property, the chef-turned-farmer is growing Asian produce, which he supplies to top London restaurants. Using seeds and cuttings brought from his travels in Asia, Farrell is growing, in greenhouses, fresh organic herbs, spices and vegetables, pollinated by his father's tropical butterflies. Guru speaks to Farrell about his growing obsession with Asian ingredients.

» Today is the first day of Songkran and we know what you're thinking: "Where should I celebrate the Thai New Year for some fun-soaked festivities?". There are tonnes of places where you can spray water and dab some scented powder on to others, or if staying dry is your thing, there are events dedicated to that, too. Songkran doesn't have to be just attending the countless EDM parties during these busy days (you can check a handful of them in the parties section of listings), these events are can be enjoyed by just about anybody. So grab your water guns and don some waterproof clothes (or why not don some traditional Thai outfits as that's what's all the rage this year), wannee pen wan Songkran!
