A winter of discontent?
Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 21/11/2014
» Maybe it’s the unusual winter breeze that’s slowly creeping its way into the country, or the half-completed holiday decorations that are starting to pop up around the city, but life seems to be unravelling as the season progresses.
Dear police officers who were recently transferred to inactive posts,

» Bangkok turns 232 this year, marking the time when our beloved city was established as the capital of Thailand. To celebrate, the Ministry of Culture will organise three days of historical and cultural events at Sanam Luang this weekend (Apr 19-21). While that’s all fine and educational, we want to do our part to showcase the coolness that Krungthep has achieved in its 232 years of existence.
