    Postbag: High performance puzzling

    News, Published on 12/10/2014

    » Please forgive my lack of modesty. I get quite a smug feeling when I complete all three of the Bangkok Post crosswords at the weekend. The English-style cryptic on Saturdays is quite different to the American-style, two of which appear on Sunday.

    Liberalise lease laws

    News, Postbag, Published on 29/01/2016

    Publicity never bad

    News, Postbag, Published on 16/02/2016

    » Thanks for your brave attempt at clarifying what bridge is and is not (Life, Feb 15). One of the unintended consequences of the saga is that the Pattaya bridge club, small by international standards, is now the most famous in the entire world, with several hundred newspaper and TV reports and tens of thousands of comments on blogsites talking about it.

    Sanctioned deaths

    News, Postbag, Published on 25/02/2016

    » In your editorial "Officials in a haze", (BP, Feb 23), concerning the smoke haze in northern Thailand that has been increasing since 2007, you pin most of the blame on large agro-companies burning vegetated land to clear it for corn plantations, and the accompanying ill-effects on people's health.
