» The new "God Of War" is an epic tale where you hack through enemies while being a broodish dad.
Historic stays
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 18/05/2018
» New hotels popping up around the city are a common sight in Bangkok. It's a delight to see that tourism isn't slowing down and that the city is being modernised more and more each day. The downside is that the essence and spirit of old Bangkok may be forgotten amid the urbanisation. However, there are a few who choose to not only preserve the old culture of the city, but also share it with people from out of town. We've got four hotels with rich histories you could check in at for a different experience.

Bangkok checklists
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 16/03/2018
» Bangkok can have its own quirks and idiosyncrasies when you decide to do something. Let's just say that things work a little bit different here when you encounter certain situations. Whether it's deciding when to hail a motorcycle taxi or designing your new restaurant, there are a few things you need to know before going all guns blazing. As we are not called GURU for nothing, we have created a handful of checklists for the uninformed to get you prepared to navigate the Big Mango.
Don't let the black leopard die
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 16/03/2018
» In the wake of the scandal where Italian-Thai Development president and three men were caught allegedly poaching protected animals in a wildlife sanctuary, an outpour of artwork has been created to pressure the concerning authority to mete out due justice. This is understandable as many have little faith in Thai justice system given its track record of double standards. This week, I decided to highlight some of the pieces in hope that this case won't fade into oblivion anytime soon.

Taxi tales
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 23/02/2018
» Ah, taxis. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Unless you live along the skytrain or subway station or you have the capacity and willpower to survive riding a bus, then taxis are the vein of your existence in terms of transportation. Sure, there are alternatives now like Grab and Uber (legality undetermined but hey, this is Bangkok), but for the longest time before those apps came to save us, we depended on good ol' taxis. Knowing that, we thought that each of us probably had a few interesting taxi rides and we decided to ask you to send us some of yours. You didn't disappoint. Here are some of our favourite Taxi Tales sent in by you.
