Swish and sizzle
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 25/03/2016
» Now, we know Salaya may seem a bit out of the way from somewhere like mid-Sukhumvit, but our venture to this low-key part of outer Bangkok proved to be more than worthwhile. Surprisingly, it only took us half an hour to get there, which is about the same amount of time you'd spend being stuck in Thong Lor's traffic on the weekend. Despite the fact that the owners are the same people behind Shabu King, this new joint is vastly different. Forget the lacklustre atmosphere of cramped spaces (like most shabu destinations) and say hello to a stunning countryside-style Japanese barn. The high ceilings let in plenty of natural light during the day time, which will no doubt impress any Instagrammer out there looking to snap up some serious #foodporn worthy photos of shabu shabu platters and sushi rolls.

Cards against Bangkokians
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 19/02/2016
» If you’re familiar with this beautiful black box, it’s probably because you, like us, have an extremely dry and bitter sense of humour. Or you’re just a plain horrible person who has been to Game Over bar way too many times. Either way, you can’t deny the Cards Against Humanity’s popularity, with its added extension packs and a couple of international editions adding to the mayhem.

Pizza Massilia, all grown up
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 26/02/2016
» Wander down Soi Ruam Rudee and you’re guaranteed to be extremely well-fed even before you hit its halfway point. But one can never have too many Italian joints, especially when you live in Bangkok. Thus, the recently opened Pizza Massilia Ruam Rudee was welcomed to the neighbourhood with open arms. It helps too, that the restaurant has already made a name for itself, dishing out great pizza during last year’s food truck boom. Its restaurant counterpart, though, is operating on a much larger scale, with more items on the menu and top-notch service in a striking locale with a late baroque interior and pastel hues. Visually stunning, the aesthetics take a pizzeria experience to the next level, as well as reflect the unique stance on cuisine.

Reviving the classics
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 04/03/2016
» Dixielogy (fb.com/dixielogy) is an up-and-coming vintage jazz band that has quickly made a name for itself within Bangkok's bustling nightlife scene. Having headlined at Maggie Choo's and Brown Sugar, it's safe to say that its unique sound, inspired by dixieland and early styles of jazz, has received plenty of attention among jazz enthusiasts all over the city. Band members include Taweesak "Pipe" Booranapanitpan (clarinet), Watchara "Jeng" Atchariyavaranon (Trumpet), Panai "Pop" Imjai (banjo), Pawin "Win" Limkangvanmongkol (piano), Jutichoke "Junior" Assarasakorn (sousaphone) and Ben Poovaviranon (drums). Guru catches up with the group to find out what it's like for these affable musicians to bring back tunes from the 1910s and to swim against the tide of currently popular musical genres.

A bloody good massage

» Maybe you've heard of diet programmes that cater to different body types. But if you're unfamiliar with massages customised for individual blood groups, welcome on board.

Where there's smoke...
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/01/2016
» If you need proof as to why Bangkok is just as deserving of the "foodie capital" title as Hong Kong and Singapore, pay Il Fumo at visit. Powerhouse trio Choti Leenutaphong, Debby Tang and chef Luca Appino, responsible for Bottega's nostalgic comfort and exceeding our cocktail expectations at Vesper, are now making us swoon over charcoal-grilled and dry-aged beef. The restaurant has chosen to keep the original facade of a beautiful house dating back to the 1950s, in which descendants of King Rama IV resided. The interior, however, is all about subdued colours, and minimalistic, contemporary decor. Fitting, we thought, with the rather purist approach to cuisine, which is heavily focused on ingredients and cutting-edge techniques. There is a separate bar area, dimly lit, well-stocked and decked out in dark wood, reminiscent of treasured locales the likes of Bar Hemingway at The Ritz Paris and Dry Martini Bar in Barcelona.

Nomad's land
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 22/01/2016
» Sun, sand and sea are no longer the only features that Phuket has to offer. Pristine beaches and clear blue skies are usually the images we conjure up with every mention of the famed Southern island province, but the recent trend in Phuket's hospitality scene has seen some of the most stunning resorts moving away from beachfront and inland, toward lush verdant valleys.

Thong Lor to-do
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 29/01/2016
» Let's start with what we love about hi-so stomping ground Thong Lor: Sightings of Ferraris revving their engines even though they're stuck in 10kph Friday traffic. The utter looks of disbelief of which only rich kids are capable, after they find out there's no valet parking. New bistros, the lifespan of which are approximately three-months before disappearing from the face of the Earth.

What's cooking, neighbour?
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 05/02/2016
» After noticing a huge pool of culinary talent hidden in Bangkok's home kitchens — and a growing demand for authentic meals — Samuel Coizet and Pakki Sampataphakdee co-founded Kinkao (www.kinkao.co), an online platform that allows home chefs to cook and sell home-made meals to the people in their neighbourhoods. From Vietnamese to Mexican to Southern Thai, you can find nearly every type of cuisine on the website. We spoke with the founders about their endeavour.
