  Bash the trash

  Life, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 10/06/2016

  » Garbage, or garbage management, is a problem, that much is clear. It's estimated that last year, 27 million tonnes of rubbish was produced across the country, yet only 19% was collected and disposed properly, and that left the country strewn with trash.

  » The mixed and brisk crowd of diners on a weekday evening at Volti, which opened six months ago at the same space that had long housed the luxurious Angelini restaurant, proved that the rebranding is being rewarded.

  From farm to plate

  Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/06/2016

  » If you're a true foodie, you'll know Sukhumvit Soi 39 is, figuratively speaking, very savoury, with many eateries dotted along its intricate sub sois and alleys. Try Google Maps to see what we mean. Tucked away deep in the soi, Cocotte Farm Roast & Winery shares the same address with several notable restaurants inside the 39 Boulevard Building. This new kid on the block operates on noble principles, claiming that it prepares dishes using ingredients from organic farms and food artisans as much as possible.

  Iron man

  Life, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 10/06/2016

  » Banjerd Lekkong, who grew up in his father's garage and whose intricate iron-welded sculptures are being exhibited in a New York gallery, is an outlier among Thai artists. The 47-year-old did not graduate from any art school -- neither Poh Chang or Silpakorn University, the most respected training grounds for local artists. His works have never been displayed in a local museum or gallery. Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre (BACC) turned down his proposal for an exhibition. Private galleries did the same. The only show he had was a brief display at Amarin Plaza, a shopping mall.

  Caracals and the city

  Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/06/2016

  » Bangkokians seem to be very relaxed when it comes to interacting with animals. Here, it's OK to pet a dog in front of 7-Eleven, and it's OK to feed soi dogs scraps of food while eating at a roadside vendor. Perhaps this is why we embrace animal cafés of all kinds with open arms (and bags full of treats too).

  One-way ticket girl

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 10/06/2016

  » We've all fantasised about leaving it all behind to explore the world full-time, but let's be real — how many of us would realistically opt out of stability and having nice stuff? Kookai — Piyapattra Chaimahawong — is one former-Bangkokian who took the road less-travelled. In November of 2015, the then 22-year-old ran with her instincts, quitting her job, putting her apartment on lease and buying a one-way ticket out of town. The spur of the moment decision ended up leading her to finding sustainability in being a digital nomad as well as a loving travel companion, Mathieu. Guru catches up with the travel bug to talk about living a location-independent life and her blog, makeajourney.co.

  Orange is the new red

  Special Publications, Published on 10/06/2016

  » Outside the sommelier-stocked walk-in cellar, the word Savelberg, the name of the restaurant and its progenitor, screams from a glossy cook book propped on a long row of uniformly red-bound volumes simply labelled “Michelin”.
