Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 24/09/2024
» Though Apple debuted the iOS 18 at WWDC 2024 early this month, it finally updated our phones last week, though only used with iPhones Xs through the iPhone 15 and 16 will get the updates.

» The arrival of the new Tops Food Hall has proved that Sukhumvit 39 is one of Bangkok's bustling residential areas, making it way more compelling to settle in.
Blasts from the past
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 25/06/2021
» The world moves in a circle around the sun and that, perhaps, explains why trends from decades ago are always doing the rounds. It doesn't matter which decade you were born in, each one had its own exciting new technology, trendy fashions, memorable toys, movies and music -- all of which can be looked back on with fondness. Guru has selected a few places to get your nostalgia going.
The titles of 2021
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/03/2021
» We might already be in the third month of the year, but sadly, not a lot of exciting games have been released (except for one which is the first game on this list). The list of interesting titles seems to be slimmer than previous years, probably due to the situation. Nevertheless, these are the titles worth keeping an eye on. Fingers crossed none of them turn out to be the Cyberpunk of 2021.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 30/10/2020
» Halloween is on Oct 31, but for a drag diva like Pan Pan Narkprasert, better known as Pangina Heals and co-host of Drag Race Thailand, every day is pretty much an occasion to dress up spooky, kooky and ooky. As the first guest of our new Style page, Pan Pan tells us what's behind 13 of his most stunning-yet-spookiest lewks to celebrate Halloween. BTW, go to Parties page if you want to join his "Healoween" party.
Viral innovations
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 08/05/2020
» This pandemic has revealed a lot of things. For starters, booze is apparently a necessity and we were this close to rioting on the streets when it seemed like the ban wasn't about to be lifted. People who didn't give a crap about others were exposed but thankfully that was overshadowed by news of people helping out and being kind, decent human beings. We've realised just how much we rely on those who deliver our food, how much we miss travelling and whether we like to admit it or not, we actually miss going to work. To top this, the ingenuity of people has also been revealed and a bunch of new innovations have been created to help out as we try and recover from this life-altering state. This week, we've got innovations from Thailand that have sprung up in response to Corona time.
The AI game
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/06/2019
» Arthit Suriyawongkul has got a pretty impressive list of achievements that seems to destine him to be an AI expert. An alumni of Thammasat Univeristy, he got his Bachelor of Science in IT then went on to study Cognitive Science and Natural Technology at the University of Edinburgh. He returned to Thailand after the 2006 coup and was one of the people who lent his voice to help protest the Computer-Related Crime Act of 2007. He also got a Masters degree for Anthropology from his alma mater. Now, he is the AI Research Engineering Manager at Wisesight and is one of the people that helped develop a new social media analytic tool called "Social Seeing". With his degree and vast experience in IT, as well as being well-versed in all things AI, we didn't just talk to him about the new software he helped develop. We also talked about privacy in the social media stage and if it's at all possible that we'll be slaves to our AI overlords in the next few years or so.
