A divisive one-note tune
News, Editorial, Published on 20/02/2019
» The troubling response of the army commander to a rather benign political campaign promise has quickly escalated. Gen Apirat Kongsompong didn't just try to refute the call to cut both the military budget and the number of general officers.

Confidence gets a boost
News, Editorial, Published on 19/06/2017
