    Thai army needs to march to a new tune

    Oped, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 13/05/2023

    » I always get feelings of fear when I hear the army's famous propaganda song, Nak Paendin, which in Thai means "burden of the country". As a child born during the 1970s, this song reminds me of military putsches.

    News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 14/05/2023

    » Considering how depressing the world news has been lately, the coronation of King Charles III last weekend provided a brief diversion. It might not be everybody's cup of tea but the Brits certainly know how to put on a show if a bit of history is involved.

    Stolen moments

A man reincarnates over and over again and refuses to forget his past lives and his family in Kerd-Dub (Reincarnate).
