A social disease
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 24/09/2018
» One of my favourite actors recently left this world prematurely due to frail health caused by chronic excessive drinking.

Warut was just 49 when he died.

Facing up to the reality of office syndrome
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 10/01/2014
» Every second I have to sit in front of my computer I have to endure back pain and an ache in my right shoulder. Sometimes it gets so bad it feels as if these parts of my body are being pierced with a sharp knife. The pain has been with me for more than five years now. First, I simply assumed there was something wrong with my back. Later, I learned that the discomfort I regularly suffer is very common and is often classified under the catch-all term "office syndrome".

Laws of nature
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 08/11/2012
» Next year should be the beginning of less difficult times for all creatures in Thailand since the country's first law to prevent cruelty against animals and improve their welfare is expected to come out. After eight years of effort by activists and politicians, the Animal Welfare Bill passed the first parliamentary reading last month and has to be approved on the second and third readings before taking effect. The whole process usually takes no more than 180 days.
