Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 30/09/2022
» Nothing gets you through the day like a cup of coffee, whether to kickstart your morning or keep you awake all day long. Many might see coffee as just another caffeinated drink, regardless of how it is brewed, with little or no thought to its origins.

Guru awards 2020
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 18/12/2020
» A lot has happened in 2020. From the pandemic to protests, the year has had a flurry of events, good and bad (perhaps mostly bad). Paradoxically, it seems that 2020 lasted longer than it should and we all can't wait for it to be over, but at the same time it also seemed like we just went into quarantine yesterday. We're all looking forward to the year that's ahead and leave 2020 behind, but before we do, let's take a look at the year that's been and determine which blunders, skills and mascots are worthy of recognition.
#BehindTheHashtags
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 06/03/2020
» Many student protests that were partly set off by the dissolution of Future Forward Party over the past two weeks has also ushered in new hashtags into the lexicon of Thai social media. At the time of writing, it has been reported that there are 28 hashtags associated with campus protests. Some are humourous while others carry strong political stances and sharp gibes. Whether you agree with these students who've chosen to make their voices heard, it's better to get used to their protest hashtags as more student flashmobs are on their way (but many speculate that the designation of Covid-19 as a dangerous communicable disease may be used as a tool to suppress them). Not to mention, an online campaign calling for people to wear black on Fridays as a symbol to oppose dictatorship began last Friday.
Borderless cuisine
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/08/2018
» Barely more than two weeks old, Cali-Mex Bar & Grill has a pretty interesting story. Its owner, Jeff Moss, is Australian and the restaurant started in Hong Kong. Three years later, Cali-Mex had 20 outlets all over Hong Kong, and fortunately for us Bangkokians, they decided to make their first international venture in the Big Mango. At the Holiday Inn in the corner of Sukhumvit 22, Cali-Mex Bar & Grill has a small space decorated appropriately so that it feels as if you've just stepped into what seems to be a bar at the US-Mexico border sans Trump wall. The entire place gives off an inviting atmosphere, subconsciously telling you to invite your friends to come over, gather at the table and hang over a good meal.
