Life in plastic
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 22/06/2018
» Earlier this month, a whale was found dead in the southern province of Songkhla after coughing up more than 80 (count 'em! 80!) pieces of plastic bags. We pay the price for being heavy users of single-use plastic items at the cost of a life of one poor, innocent mammal that made national and international headlines around the world. It's a huge wake-up call for us to take immediate action and change our behaviour with the way we do away with our rubbish.
Come for the hooters, stay for the wings
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 22/06/2018
» On the corner of Soi Thaniya on Silom Road is the newest branch of Hooters, sitting in what was once Flann O'Brien's Irish Pub. The American sports bar franchise, with its famous buffalo wings, beers and of course, Hooters Girls, is no stranger to the country as this newest outlet is the third in Bangkok -- the sixth overall in the country -- to be established. Curious customers who have yet to set foot in one of the eatery chains can do so now with ease as this branch is a few steps away from BTS Sala Daeng and a five-minute walk from MRT Silom.
11 Things to Say If Caught Sleeping on Your Job
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/06/2018
» Earlier this week, pictures of two members of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) caught catching 40 winks, during a meeting to pass the 3-trillion-baht budget, were wildly circulated and ridiculed online. In their defence, the sleeping members said their snoozing was due to health conditions.
Food in mini forest
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 08/06/2018
» Contrary to its name, GISMO isn't techie, futuristic or gimmicky in any way. Instead, it's a low-key dining spot with a relaxed and welcoming ambience. You'll be sitting in a rustic warehouselike space with high ceiling and exposed beams. The floor-to-ceiling windows with thin frames amply allow in natural light to brighten up the place while pops of flora and leaves add life and softness to the space. Most of the plants are artificial but have a soothing effect on you nonetheless, making the space a little forest in the city. There weren't much to distract you from what's on the plate as the only background music is the fountain's trickling.

Summer checklist
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/04/2018
» The blistering heat and scorching sun has made it evident that summer is upon us. The bad news is that it's likely to get hotter from here on. The good news is that the city is going to be an all-out water war zone in a few weeks. Aside from that, there are plenty of things to do during this summer. But if you're scatterbrained like us, can't organise yourself and will probably end up lounging on the couch eating a tub of ice cream (which is not a bad idea, actually), you can stop fretting. We've compiled a summer to-do list for you.
