Sunny side out!
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 01/04/2022
» The Thai Meteorological Department recently announced the arrival of summer in Thailand and the sunny side is that you can get your tan on and enjoy seasonal events. Whether you're an outdoorsy person who enjoys soaking up the rays or a vampire-kind who tries to stay away from daylight, Guru has six ways to cool off or bask in Bangkok's warmth this hot summer.
Road runners
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 18/02/2022
» Despite all of the comforts of living in Bangkok, we all wish for safer sidewalks and roads for pedestrians and motorists alike. A recent slate of tragic accidents serves as a wake-up call for us all. Guru asked a few Bangkokians to share their experiences on the road as drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians while gathering opinions from watchdog groups on what needs to be done so our roads and sidewalks can be safer.
Class of Covid-19
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 20/08/2021
» Stepping out into the world as a fresh graduate during a pandemic has been undeniably difficult. Transition into adulthood is tough enough without Miss Rona, who has caused the decline of job opportunities, an unstable political situation and loss of life experiences, to name a few on the tip of the iceberg. However, this is a reality that millions of young Thais face today. Guru speaks to a few to learn about their beginnings at adulthood and resources they can turn to for help.
Don't let it rain on your parade
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 02/10/2020
» You may be reading this while staying indoors as the Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rain in a few areas of Bangkok and adjoining provinces until Monday. If the downpour gets you down (on top of pretty much everything in your newsfeed lately), I'm here to lift up your spirits by looking at the light side of heavy rain in Thailand.
Unusually happy
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/03/2020
» Surat Thani-born Prawit "Wit" Lumjalurn is having his fourth solo exhibition titled "Happy Syndrome" at Number 1 Gallery. The award-winning artist, who started doodling since he was a Prathom pupil, is known for his signature character whom he refers to as dek auan or Fat Boy. The boy whose skin is made of foil is based on Prawit himself. He tells us what lies beneath the metallic skin.

» With the new year, GURU thought it'd be a great idea to find new bars to be merry with your friends! If you're strapped for cash (due to your New Year celebrations), do not fret dear readers, we have picked bars that won't put a dent on your wallet where you won't cry money tears as you waste them away on another expensive drink. These bars are worth a visit so grab some friends, head to one of them and bottoms up!
Biker brunch
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 18/05/2018
» Food and vehicles may seem like an unlikely collaboration, but if prior efforts are of any evidence, it's that automobile/motorcycle cafes are no strangers to experimentation. From Ducati's concept restaurant a few years back in Thong Lor to Honda's recent collaboration with Greyhound at CUB House in Ekamai, these hybrid eateries are where diners have a meal while attending a casual motorshow. Sathorn's brunch cafe Luka has collaborated with BMW Thailand dealer MF Motorad to bring their second branch named Luka Moto, a cafe that aims to accommodate those with a lifestyle that relies on the need for speed. Having opened in March, the two-floor motorcycle-centric brunch spot is on the ground floor of The Taste Mall on Thong Lor 11, and is a haven for motorbike enthusiasts and brunch fans alike.
