    Hashtags of hate

    Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 17/01/2022

    » A week ago, the hashtags #BanSitala and #BanLuknang returned to social media again after K-pop girl group H1-Key dropped their debut music video Athletic Girl and performed in an online press conference.

Sitala is the daughter of the famous late actor and political activist Saranyu Wongkrachang.

They accused her of being a supporter of a dictatorship.

    Full circle after 24 years

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 28/08/2016

    » Greetings from Nakhon Pathom. This week your favourite columnist finds himself in a hotel room for five days in this little town just west of Bangkok. "Little town" is hardly a good description, though it was certainly that way when I first visited here a quarter of a century ago. Bangkok has since extended her tentacles, swallowing up the likes of Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi and Minburi.
