Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 27/10/2025

Guru By Bangkok Post is making sure that even if you blink, you don’t miss out on the new taste tinglers that are worth mentioning, in Bangkok and beyond.

We’re almost to the halfway mark of January (gasp) so we need to prepare ourselves for the rest of the months to come and if you don’t know where to start, Guru has you covered. From fun games that chillax you to getting the living daylights scared out of you to apps that could help your productivity, your health and even your love life, here are a few things to help you get on track.
Playstation dominance
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/10/2021
» The console wars have raged on since multiple consoles came on the scene and the question of "which is the best console?" has been asked on forums and argued at gaming conventions for years. It's a question that doesn't really have a definitive answer, but PlayStation definitely had a "drop the mic" moment with their latest PlayStation Showcase.
Night & day

» Almost eight years and three different release dates later, the much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out. There's no doubt that gamers all over the globe have spent hours upon hours in Night City, and perhaps there are those who are still going. However, your experience in this dystopian RPG will be very different depending on what you're playing on -- and when I say "very different", I mean the difference is a deal-breaker.
On a liquid diet

» Unless you're really health-conscious, on a cleanse or you're watching your weight, vegetable juices probably aren't your drink of choice. After all, they're not necessarily appetising. The taste of most vegetable juices take getting used to and after making numerous faces because of the odd tastes, you may start enjoying them. However, that's not the case for Paak. In fact, they may be the reason you start drinking vegetable beverages on a regular basis.
App-solutely smooth

» We at Guru know we're snarky about Bangkok at times -- OK, most of the time -- but like any other city, there are things we hate about it and there are things we love about it.

Bangkok checklists
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 16/03/2018
» Bangkok can have its own quirks and idiosyncrasies when you decide to do something. Let's just say that things work a little bit different here when you encounter certain situations. Whether it's deciding when to hail a motorcycle taxi or designing your new restaurant, there are a few things you need to know before going all guns blazing. As we are not called GURU for nothing, we have created a handful of checklists for the uninformed to get you prepared to navigate the Big Mango.
Truffles galore
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 09/02/2018
» Inside Sukhumvit 22, just a few blocks away from the main road, lies Truffles Bar & Ristorante, which is about three months old. At first glance, it seems to be one of those usual hole-in-the-wall bars that you see so much of around the city, but don’t be fooled. The front of the restaurant where guests enter houses the bar and a number of open-air tables, which is suitable for when you’re there to have a drink or two. However, delve deeper into the restaurant and you’ll find they have more tables in an air-conditioned room that could accommodate more than 30 patrons easily. Plus, the inside dining area is more suited for when you, family or friends are gathering for a full-on meal instead of just chilling over drinks. The area has a very authentic Italian feel to it and we’re glad that the menu strives to do the same as well.
