Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 05/08/2022
» Learning doesn't always have to be all about academic matters. You can still pick up new skills and hobbies no matter how old you are. Guru has gathered a list of interesting workshops and private classes for you to never stop growing (metaphorically).

Off the wall
Guru, Worada Elstow, Published on 11/03/2022
» Art is a massive part of culture; it is intertwined with most things in life. Despite the ongoing pandemic, Bangkok's art scene is making a comeback in full force with many thought-provoking shows that tell us that art is not merely aesthetical. Guru presents gallerists who present art with a mission.
Against status quo
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 12/11/2021
» Art is a powerful tool for self-expression and statement-making. In recent years, more and more young artists in Thailand have used their artworks as a way to question or critique the status quo -- politically, socially and culturally. They ask whether what's considered normal in Thai culture should be accepted as the norm. Guru speaks to a few with ongoing exhibitions that push the limits.

Reality check
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 10/09/2021
» The malls are crowded again. The streets are lined with traffic. There seems to be more people (and motorcycles) on the sidewalk. Your eyes do not deceive you: the City of Angels has come back to life -- or at least slightly. Certain venues like fitness centres and theatres remain closed (sorry, Marvel fans hoping to watch Shang-Chi) but the city's ever-favoured shopping malls have returned and dining-in at restaurants is possible again, albeit in limited capacity. Does this bode well for Bangkokians? Should we expect the worst? Despite the relief we feel of finally being let out of our houses, are there still challenges? Guru speaks to people of different professions to gauge their opinions.
A place in the sun
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 14/05/2021
» Breathing the fresh air, punctual bus schedules, smooth and clean pavements and streets. Do you remember these simple joys when travelling abroad? I bet everyone entertains the thought of spending their last breath in a particular city that is not home. Within the span of few days, a Facebook group called "Let's Move Abroad" has become a viral online phenomenon as Thai netizens gather to discuss and share their aspirations to flee a place where they were born and raised.
