Truly madly deeply from Italy
Special Publications, Published on 08/09/2017
» If you're the kind of cucina Italiana aficionado, like Luca Appino, who spurns anything inauthentic, you're likely already acquainted with the maverick restauranteur's eponymous "shop", or rather "Bottega" (level 2, The Terrace (Sukhumvit) 49, www.labottega.name / tel. 02 204 1731). After all, the awards-churning ristorante isn't a flavour of the month, but of a decade, having counter-intuitively thrived since opening just in time for the GFC in 2008.

A misunderstood culture revealed
Life, Ariane Kupferman-Sutthavong, Published on 08/09/2017
» Descending from the original inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula, the Orang Asli community has a long history, one that has been extensively recorded in Thai literature and history. Appearing in a wide array of texts, from King Rama V's play Ngoh Pah to the folk tale Sang Thong, their portrayals haven't always been positive or done justice to the wealth of their culture.

The Dark Ages
Life, Bernard Trink, Published on 08/09/2017
» I was taught that the Roman Empire fell to the barbarians in 476 AD. My next grade teacher was vague. There were the Dark Ages, Medieval times and Middle Ages. I heard the word Byzantine only once, when the Turks captured Constantinople in 1455 AD. The Crusades took place halfway between.

» Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington -- a few of the high-profile names we've lost over the years due to suicide. But suicide is closer and more prevalent than many would expect, and it can happen to anyone.

Thai-farang flavours intertwine
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 08/09/2017
» When I first reviewed Eat Me in 2011, the small eatery behind a stark greyish façade had already been in the business for over a decade. My initial impression then was on the fact that the homely establishment, which doubled as a restaurant and an art gallery, offered some of the city's tastiest dining experiences.

The dandy photographer
Guru, Published on 08/09/2017
» Whoever said you can't do it all clearly hasn't heard of this guy. Fashion photographer, humanitarian and now curator: Kanachai 'Kit' Bencharongkul is catching everyone's eye, and not just for his dapper style or envy-inducing IG account. Far more than a globe-trotting son of telecom tycoon Boonchai, Kit has proven himself to be a tireless and wholehearted worker. He has shot covers for magazines such as Lips, Monocle and E; hosted Who Are You on TV and launched his own sweater brand (@KitB_Brand) from which all profits go to charity. But that's not all. He is also the curator of the ongoing "King of Kings" exhibition at MOCA Bangkok, a photo exhibition in tribute to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. We asked Kit a few questions about his work, style and what curating this significant exhibition involves.

The follow-up smash hit Laddaland -- his best-known project, which grossed 117 million baht in Thailand -- is set in a housing estate. And The Swimmers (2014) takes place mostly around a swimming pool.

Anyway, here's Chimney Cake Wonderland
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 08/09/2017
» If you haven't heard, seen, or tasted chimney cakes, we don't blame you. But it's a completely different story in Hungary, where chimney cakes are basically everywhere and nothing new. However, Bangkok has been deprived of this European delicacy. Thankfully, Chimney Cake Wonderland is here to change all that.
