Cool for the summer
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 04/05/2018
» Summer would not be summer without ice cream. It's most people's go-to frozen treat and what makes this treat even better is the addition of a little bit of "spirit".
Change the world, one photo at a time
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/05/2018
» Theerachat "Tom" Potisit is a freelance photographer who's behind many iconic images that went viral in recent years. On top of countless fashion shoots, you may have already seen his work, which stimulates conversation on relevant social issues without knowing the man. In 2014, he saw an opportunity to raise awareness on marine life conservation when a Bryde's whale beached in Samut Prakarn and staged a fashion shoot there. Remember the "Anatomy 101" exhibition at Chulalongkorn Hospital in 2015? It was a photo exhibition where Tom and Surachai "Pui" Saengsuwan, a noted fashion photographer, took beautiful, haunting pictures of models and celebs in a hospital setting to raise awareness on organ donation. Most recently, he organised "Know-R", a photography exhibition to highlight livelihood of communities along the Chao Phraya River. It was staged on an old rice barge in February. Tom has also earned a reputation as a photographer/conservationist for his contribution to raising awareness on endangered species over the years. Guru spoke with this fascinating photographer whose works combine art, fashion and raising awareness.
Artisanal eats
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 04/05/2018
» Technology is a blessing and a curse. It makes life easier and in turn makes us lazy and have short attention spans. We want things done quick and we want things now, and we've lost the appreciation for the art and process of handmade products and the skill it requires because hey, if robots can do it, why can't people? That makes things made by hand more special despite the fact that that's the way things have been done for years. Handmade means nothing, however, if it also isn't high quality. Luckily, the Big Mango is home to a number of stores that produce top-tier artisanal products -- more specifically, artisanal food, which we think makes it more special because nothing is more special than food, right? You may not be aware of some of these stores (we admit we ourselves weren't aware some of them existed) but hey, that's why we're here -- to tell you about them so all you have to do is feast and enjoy. Here are five artisanal eats in Bangkok that you should try.
A Study in Black
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 04/05/2018
» A picture of two cosplayers who imitated the Black Panther and construction tycoon and accused poacher Premchai Karnasuta went viral earlier this week. In case you need a refresher why nobody thinks he's innocent, I've played Sherlock to present you with three reasons.
The Doctor Will Call You Now
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 27/04/2018
» Kanpassorn "Eix" Suriyasangpetch is co-founder of OOCA, an online platform with a website and a smartphone app to help connect people with psychiatrists and psychologists through video calls. The 28-year-old dentist, who graduated from Chiang Mai Univeristy, hopes OOCA will make it convenient for Thais all over the country to seek help for mental issues and avoid the stigma that comes with it.
Conversation starter
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 27/04/2018
» LETAR Coffee Bar is sandwiched between Thong Lor and Phrom Phong (though Phrom Phong Sukhumvit 39 is the fastest route to the shop) and is hidden in Building 3 of the Racquet Club on the 5th floor. Sounds like it's a little out of the way? It is, but despite this and having been opened for a mere three months, LETAR Coffee Bar has regular customers and has been doing very well, according to its founders. Surprising? Yes, considering its location and small space, as well as the fact that the menu isn't that extensive. Anyways, come September, they'll be moving permanently to Central Embassy. But what makes people come back for more?
Smart up
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 27/04/2018
» Here at GURU, we love our smartphones. As we live in an age where one wonders what would we do without our handheld devices, people in the technology world are constantly developing apps to make our lives easier -- with our phones. We've saved you the hassle and created a list of free-to-download apps that are useful in the Big Mango -- kind of like a Swiss Army knife for the techie (okay, so maybe your phone can't cut things).
The Italian affair
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 27/04/2018
» Sukhumvit 31 is a long soi and we often tend to forget the little cut off street leading to Soi 23. Calderazzo On 31 is on this forgotten street. Having recently moved from Langsuan to 31, Calderazzo is Italian with a difference. It has a rather bistro-like feel to it, with plenty of tables for private or romantic dinners. There is also a patio for those who enjoy the occasional breeze Mother Nature allows Bangkok.
