Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 01/09/2025
» Come rain or shine, Hanoi in Vietnam is one of my favourite places for a quick weekend getaway. The food and the city, though crowded in peak tourist season, is always worth the 1.5-hour air time.

» What better way to break the cycle of first-time travel after almost three years of being stuck in Thailand, than a trip to a new resort in Vietnam. Da Nang is often seen as the weekend beach retreat for the Vietnamese, with its never-ending coastline and casinos. Though further up the coast, an hour's drive away, lies an unspoilt beachfront paradise -- Hoiana, which is also Vietnam's first integrated resort.

No work, all play

» Pop art has started to pop (wink wink) up a lot in the Big Mango, from curious structures at well-known malls to colourful, eclectic murals on faded walls. It wasn't a surprise then when SO Sofitel Bangkok welcomed pop/street artist Jisbar to showcase his vibrant pieces until Mar 13. The Paris-based artist has showcased his talent on canvases and other items like a bike (a design in collaboration with BMW and showcased at the exhibition) and even Cardi B's handbags. He's chosen Bangkok to be his first foray into Asia so Guru sat down and talked with him about his art and what drew him to Bangkok.

Guru, Don Assamongkol, Published on 27/07/2018
» While the brand Nescafé brings to mind instant coffee or 3-in-1 sachets, they're upping their game with the introduction of coffee capsules, fancy machines, as well as coffee-for-office packages. The brand recently took it one step further and opened its first out-of-home café in Thailand called "Nescafé HUB," on the skywalk of BTS Chidlom near the entrances to Central Chidlom and MercuryVille.
Hidden in plain sight

» There is no doubt Thailand's nightlife is booming with bars and drinks with unusual names and concoctions. And speaking of which, for every new bar that opens, there has to be a gimmick of some sort to attract bar patrons. Which brings us to this week's cover story for which we went around the city looking for bars with hard-to-spot entrances. After constantly getting lost and double checking Google Maps on our phones, we managed to list four hidden (well not-so-hidden now that we're writing about them) bars for the adventurous bar hoppers who would like to do a bit of effort in getting a drink. Half the fun is discovering them on your own so we included an elusive metre in terms of difficulty finding each tavern, as well as providing a few hints to help guide you on your way. Whether you have already discovered them (shush!) or in need of a change of setting and have a sense of exploration with friends, then Godspeed!
