Soi sagas
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 05/09/2014
» You could be forgiven if you can't keep up with all the clampdowns that are taking place each day. If you've missed out on these most scintillating and groundbreaking updates, it's basically just authorities enforcing common sense upon Bangkokians who presumably missed the class on basic etiquette and safety.

» Everyone has the right to believe in what they choose to believe in, and should have the freedom to express it. Regardless of how unreasonable those beliefs might sound, we should respect everyone's rights to have them.

The reels keep turning
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 05/09/2014
» The preservation of movies involves storing for posterity a popular form of entertainment, but perhaps more importantly this repository can also protect an invaluable body of knowledge and wisdom about the individuals and society from which these works emanated. It took this country a long time to realise that the conservation of film is a cultural duty, and that our audiovisual heritage is a museum of memories that plays a vital part in educating future generations about their collective past.

Simple sophistications
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 05/09/2014
» Time to eat? After the big successes of Supanniga Eating Room, a follow-up venue was always going to attract a lot of interest. The policy is the same — "the best ingredients we can find from the places we like, cooked the way we like," says co-owner Tatchai Nakapan. While Thong Lor almost sells itself as a dining destination, the big new variable in play at EAT is the mall location, putting the traditional flavours in a challenging new context. It's positioned upstairs at Groove in an irregular-shaped room, which affords it good vantage of the open kitchen as well as natural light from above (something that's missing at other Groove venues). Its modest dimensions mean that much of the prep work (sauces, etc) is still done in Thong Lor, but the cooking is now on show — a luring new element. There's space enough for 40 diners inside, while another 15 can fit out the front where the mall makes more of an impact and the seats are less comfy. Plenty of worker bees from nearby offices were present on the early evening we visited, as well as important-looking Thais and curious tourists from nearby hotels.

Mama's boy
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 05/09/2014
» Mining your own family for stories is a convenient and sometimes painful process. Vorakorn Ruetaivanichkul turned his camera toward his mother, who tried to commit suicide years ago. That pilot project later became a 60-minute film that mixes home movie footage, documentary re-enactment and fantasy sequences. Mother was Vorakorn's graduation film at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in 2010, and now it will be released at House RCA on Sept 11.

Enzed offerings
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 05/09/2014
» Although Kai is named after the Maori word for food, you won't find indigenous offerings cooked in an earth oven here. Instead, the new restaurant serves a modern New Zealand menu in an industrial atmosphere. The manly mood is conveyed through a bare concrete floor, wood panelling, sturdy tables, metal pipe shelving and more. This spacious venue offers settings for different occasions from al fresco breakfast with a side of people-watching to hearty chow time with friends in the dining area to upstairs couches and booths that should allow you more privacy. We visited when Kai was just a few weeks old and the first floor wasn't ready yet. We are told that they will open for dinner by the end of this month. Office workers and condo dwellers in the area are among their initial customers.

Oui, oui Monsieur
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 05/09/2014
» In a tropical city where words like "bistro", "brasserie" and "boulangerie" are widely used to add French flair to Thai-owned dining joints (which are often decked out to mimic Parisian sidewalk cafes), diners don't seem to care whether the establishment has anything else to offer than authentic decor.

Gifts are Always Sweet
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 05/09/2014
» A treat isn't always something sweet, but something sweet is always a treat. If dessert is your answer to keeping stress at bay or simply a way of giving a gift to yourself, White Day Patisserie is a place that can reward you with something sweet and special. This little pastry shop which opened five months ago at The Circle is an airy space that mixes industrial decor with Muji-esque wood works charmingly.
