Paddock to plate
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 24/06/2022
» It is not often that a single ingredient is the star on all plates at a chef's table. However, this is the premise of "A Tavola With Chef Andrea Accordi", executive chef of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, which is exclusively available to 10 diners.
Morals & immortals
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/07/2020
» The prospect of being immortal may seem like a good idea at first, but the immortals of Netflix's new film, The Old Guard, are dealing with hundreds -- some even thousands -- of years' worth of baggage while being hunted down. Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the film follows Andromache of Scythia aka Andy and her group of immortal mercenaries, who have been doing assignments all throughout history but managing to keep their existence unknown. That is, until Copley and Merrick show up, an ex-CIA agent and a pharma company CEO who wants to capture them because they may have the genetic key that will provide a solution to the world's sicknesses. Guru spoke to Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Copley; Harry Melling, who plays Merrick; and the three immortal mercenaries: Marwan Kenzari, Matthias Schoenaerts and Luca Marinelli.
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.
Subject(s) (That) Matter
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/01/2020
» Two things that recently happened made me wonder about the definition of education in Thailand. First, a uni professor in Phitsanulok drafted a new course called "My Beloved Country" but the board rejected it, saying its purpose isn't in line with that of a general education course. The professor said his subject encourages students to "understand and appreciate their own values, as well as values of others, society, culture and nature". It sounds fine and dandy until you see his list of 18 guest lecturers consisting of controversial figures, some of whom are seen as aligning themselves with the government. So, if you disagree with them, would you be considered disloyal to Thailand or something? Second, Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang ordered all schools under BMA to have their students sing the royal anthem after they sing the national anthem before classes every morning to remind them of Thailand's three pillars -- nation, religion and monarchy -- which I humbly think the kids are reminded of plenty already.
Lend a hand
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/03/2019
» In a world where everything seems bleak, we try our best to find some sort of escape. Whether or not this is simply denial of reality is something we won't delve into (we're Guru, we don't do existential crises). But with the stress of the real world and our quest to discover things that would temporary alleviate what we feel, we seldom ask the question, "What can I do to make the world a little better?." It may seem cliché but there are a number of little things you can do and it's not all about volunteering in a dense forests where you have to sleep in rickety tents with no toilets (shudder) all for the sake of saving Mother Earth. There are simple things like buying something online, adopting a doggo or even go shopping that can help a cause. This week, we've got some causes that you can get behind.
