Roads, actually

» Tests are supposed to measure what we know, or, more accurately, what we don't know but should know. That's why it's problematic when we're passing exams but failing in the real life situations those exams sought to mimic. This could easily be alluding to the shape of our national education in general, but we're directing our frustration to a specifically aggravating application of skill in this country: driving.
Brilliantly Basic
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 27/05/2016
» As depressing as it sounds, basic clothing is like that one underappreciated friend who's constantly got our backs. It may be because, individually, basic pieces are so underwhelming, possibly even unattractive, that we don't worship them like those unique, glamourous friends who may end up screwing us over when the tides change. Basic would never do that though, so this week we recognise the simple items we need in our closet.
Kissing and Telling

» Siam Square is swiftly becoming Bangkok's K-pop town, and it's not just because of the variety of wallet-friendly "Korean fashion" items on offer at the night bazaar. Every month, it seems Siam Square welcomes another cult food chain from Korea, and the latest to join the ranks is Korean tiramisu.

» You didn't think we were just going to leave you men hanging when it comes to beachwear, did you? We just gave women a head's start. Now it's the men's turn to turn heads at the beach with what they're wearing. Guru rounds up a few of the best shops for stylish men's swimwear.
Paninis and more
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 03/06/2016
» Named after its location and cuisine, Sun Street Panini is a quaint little Italian place on the curvature of Phra Arthit Road, opposite the public park and pier. The restaurant shares the Old Town storefront uniform with its neighbours, but offers a charming individuality through interior décor. Classic gingham tablecloths cover the small-scale eatery's six tables, while pasta jars, wine bottles, moka pots and baskets of homemade bread adorn a wall, warmly welcoming us into a cozy dining atmosphere.
B&W
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 06/05/2016
» Things in life are seldom as simple as black and white. In most cases, this little fact of life is for the better, although not any easier. Fortunately, fashion doesn't have to be one of those things. A major trend this season involves ditching the colour spectrum and going for just black and white. Here are chic ways to sport the contrasting achromatic look for every occasion.
Looking the part

» To get us off our lazy bums in this sweltering weather, race organisers have come up with fun runs where there's more merit placed on how good you look than how fast you run. (Seriously who actually cares who wins these races anyway?) Here are the micro races you should be gearing up for this summer and suggestions of what to wear to them to avoid being boring.
Karmic Art
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 01/04/2016
» For the last two decades, Anita Bose has been travelling throughout India, working with various local traditional artists and discovering for herself an art form rich in culture, thought and heritage. Identifying her work as contemplative art, Anita brings a unique collection entitled "Ordinary Miracle" to our city. Guru has a chat with the self-taught artist about what's in store for us in her latest exhibition.
Lettuce eat clean

» I was very upset when my regular tea place at Silom Complex vanished without notice -- at least I wasn't notified. I had so many memories there: using the free Wi-Fi to submit my Guru articles and being constantly convinced I needed another nifty tea gadget from the little boutique. Hung up on the loss, I didn't think I'd ever embrace the replacement. But to my inner skinny-bitch's defence, it's an organic salad and juice bar. Life goes on, people.
