Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/01/2018
» People with special needs may be able to receive education but they haven't been given a fair chance in terms of employment. And that's exactly what Max Simpson wants to change. The 31-year-old educator is the co-founder of Steps with Theera (stepswiththeera.com), a cafe on Ekamai Soi 10 that is staffed by trainees with cognitive disabilities. It also functions as a vocational training centre for them. Through showing what they are capable of, Max hopes, those born with cognitive disabilities will be given more opportunities to work and contribute to society.

» Have you become tired of the cliches on mainstream Thai TV? We sure have. These days we struggle to get through a single lakorn episode because the main characters unrealistically have perfect make-up and hair while sleeping (or even while in jail). Don't get us started on the oversupply of singing contests (which seems to act like a factory churning out performers). There are also game shows that reward celebrity contestants (who already make way more money than your average Thai). Couldn't we have something more original please, people in TV land?
