» Is it just me or you sometimes too stop dead in your scroll while browsing through the Facebook newsfeed? Some headlines are so eye-catching, but not in a sense that they are amazing, but because they make you go Why are you telling me this?, Did I just read that? or Is this news?

How Thai Chinese are you?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/02/2018
» As the editor (and the Thai-Chinese token of this magazine), I would like to celebrate Chinese New Year with a fun test to gauge how Thai-Chinese you are. I mean, according to Theraphan Luangthomkun's Language, Nation And Development In Southeast Asia, it was estimated that there are about 26 million Thais of full or partial Chinese descent. So, Happy Chinese New Year to about 40% of the Thai population, I guess.

Concert peeps
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 16/02/2018
» Concerts are awesome. Here at Guru, we have been to a fair amount of live shows of our favourite artists and bands, despite the ridiculously expensive tickets. And with every concert we attend, we see and meet the same kind of people. From the fans that seem to know the lyrics of every song to the ones who just can't seem to put their phones down as they record every moment of the show. We took the time to list our favourite (or for some, least favourite) types of concertgoers in Thailand. All in good fun.
Let's go on a "playcation"
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 16/02/2018
» The latest in a long line of hotels and resorts from Holiday Inn has arrived in Hua Hin, having opened its doors on Dec 6 last year. Known for being the tallest building in the district, as well as being Asia's first waterpark resort, Holiday Inn Resort Vana Nava Hua Hin is a destination that is filled with relaxation, swimming activities and of course, astonishing views -- a definite highlight. A two- or three-hour drive from Bangkok is what it takes to reach this fun-filled resort.
Taking noodle up a notch
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/02/2018
» The Setting: A kuay tiew experience doesn't have to mean a quick shophouse meal where all the tables have the flimsy pink papers for wiping everything and plastic jugs filled with tea that look like they have never been washed. If the idea of kuay tiew has become uneventful, Mamarin Noodles can spice it up for you (lame food pun intended). You see, the new kuay tiew restaurant highlights a Ban Beung (a district in Chon Buri) variation of the popular street food while taking it up a notch with the cosy ambience and, most importantly, quality ingredients.
