» Earlier this month when I launched this bi-weekly Travel Diary series, I had a gut feeling that this coronavirus pandemic could drag on a lot longer than many people had thought. Maybe it could even take a whole year. However, feedback revealed that readers were more optimistic and believe it won’t be that long. Some even suggested that it would benefit them more if — instead of featuring destinations suitable for the season that matches the current time of year, but may not be useful if the travel ban is still in place — I should just skip a couple of months ahead.

Tasting the fruits of the late king's labour
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 12/10/2017
» It's been almost a year already but a lot of people, myself included, are still not accustomed to the fact that the beloved King Bhumibol Adulyadej has passed away. Perhaps that's partly because the remarkable results of his hard work and dedication to improve the lives of people living in the Kingdom no matter what race or religion are still flourishing.
