The Art of Growing Old
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 03/02/2019
» "Attending an unplanned party/ Never ready, didn't really wanna come/ Saying 'hello' to acquaintances/ Gotta be careful not to smile too much/ It just wouldn't be appropriate," without knowing the track's title, the opening verse of The Charapaabs' debut single, Sala Kon Sao (Funeral Party), reads like something of a typical introvert's diary. As the second verse arrives, it becomes clear that the aforementioned "party" is actually a funeral where "the host refrains from making an appearance" (worth noting a clever wordplay here -- ook long, literally "out of coffin", is used instead of ook rong, which is a Thai expression meaning to make an appearance).

Canadian deliciousness
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/01/2020
» O Canada! It seems like the more we know about you, the more awesome you become. Home of free healthcare, the most handsome prime minister ever and the kindest people on earth -- and I haven't even mentioned the fact that you're the geniuses that came up with the idea of smothering gravy all over fresh hot fries and also topping it off with cheese curds. While Thailand is a long-shot away from Canada, we're fortunate to get a little taste of the North American country in the form of arguably their best export next to Celine Dion's albums and Ryan Reynolds' talent: Tim Hortons.
A practical guide to reopening schools
News, Nicha Pittayapongsakorn, Published on 16/02/2022
» The closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected millions of students countrywide, causing them to miss many on-site classes over the past two years. A number of research works point to the adverse impact of long-time school closures on children, in terms of learning, mental health, and lost opportunities. A team of researchers led by Suchart Kilenthong of the Thai Chamber of Commerce University found that closing schools takes a heavy toll on kindergarteners, for example. Each missed day of school means they lose 98% of that day's learning. This means that home schooling in Thailand cannot compete with going to school.

As dollar spikes, can China win the 'currency war'?
News, Published on 19/10/2022
» With the Federal Reserve maintaining high-intensity rate hikes, the currencies of China, Japan, and South Korea, all major Asian economies, have been more or less affected to varying degrees, and are under increasing pressure of depreciation. The exchange rates of the Chinese renminbi (with the offshore exchange rate as a reference), the Japanese yen, and the South Korean won have all depreciated significantly with the appreciation of the US dollar. As the three Asian countries share similar economic structures, most are on the main manufacturing output side. Many believe currency devaluation will be beneficial to exports, which is conducive to long-term economic stability.
