Zico can get THAI scoring goals again
News, Saritdet Marukatat, Published on 16/11/2015
» I wonder what would happen at Thai Airways International if Kiatisak "Zico" Senamuang was appointed the "head coach"? Zico, one of thailand's greatest players and now national team coach, and THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira rose to the top of their respective organisations under similar circumstances. The Thai national football team before the former striker took the helm was going through a crisis of confidence and despairing fans could only watch as the War Elephants went up and then dramatically down through a major trophy drought. At the airline, Mr Charamporn, the former Stock Exchange of Thailand president, stepped in to take the presidency amid myriad troubles and plunging prestige.

Paris offers harsh lesson
News, Editorial, Published on 16/11/2015
» The terrorist attacks in Paris prove that the ISIS group has its hooks deep into decent society. The seven coordinated bombings and shootings killed at least 129 people, wounded over 350, and closed down the French capital under a city-wide curfew. France also completely closed its borders.

» I find it quite amusing and amazing how Thai people live their lives like planets orbiting around various stars.

I'm not sure how many people could name any members of the current cabinet apart from the prime minister.
