Thailand's tale told via 'The Nation'
News, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 28/06/2019
» Nearly five decades ago, The Nation newspaper started out as a pro-democracy, anti-military news organisation. It was fiercely independent and invariably hard-hitting vis-à-vis the powers-that-be. An English-language newspaper owned by Thais from the outset, it prided itself for having neither fear nor favour. Its lamentable expiry as a print newspaper today -- an online version will continue -- provides multiple parallels for Thailand's contemporary political history, ongoing polarisation and the changing nature of the business of journalism worldwide.

Election not the issue, it's when
Veera Prateepchaikul, Published on 17/12/2013
» It should be made clear from the outset that most of the people who took to the streets in two mass protests against the government and the Thaksin regime, on Nov 24 and Dec 9, and those who regularly join the rallies at the Democracy Monument and nearby are not against an election as a matter of principle.

Too hot for some
Oped, Postbag, Published on 03/01/2024
» Re: "SET credibility crisis", (PostBag, Jan 2). Neither "Unfairly treated", nor Paul Renaud need any pity. After all, "Unfairly treated" remarks himself in his contribution that denial of equal rights to foreign investors has been the established practice for years. So if you know this and can't stand the heat, don't stay in the kitchen.

Late King's wishes for Thai children
News, Published on 12/01/2019
» As Thailand celebrates National Children's Day today, I wish to share my recollection of a memorable audience with His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his profound message and wishes for the children of Thailand and the world. I had the great honour to meet the late king on Nov 12, 1998. I was then serving as Unicef's regional director for East Asia and the Pacific, based in Bangkok. The occasion of my audience with the late king at Chitralada Palace was to accompany visiting Unicef executive director Carol Bellamy. Also accompanying us was the late Thai foreign minister Surin Pitsuwan.

Move quickly, PM

» Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has a valid point: Covid-19 could easily spread at the mass protest planned for tomorrow, especially as the protesters may stay overnight.

Suffering silently

» Re: "Government spends its way into trouble", (Opinion, March 4). Kudos to Khun Chartchai Parasuk for this highly professional, brilliant article. Hopefully, it should be a wake-up call.
