Roger Crutchley, Published on 26/04/2026
» Last week's item regarding the wonderful world of maps and atlases sparked memories of how a map played a key cameo role during my early days in Bangkok.

None of the Thai class understood a word I was saying.

Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 25/04/2026
» A general admission ticket to Coachella 2026 started at US$549 (about 17,750 baht), and that was before the shuttle pass, the camping fee, the service charges, the flight to Southern California and the accommodation in a region where budget motels were running $600 a night during festival weekend. On the secondary market, a single GA ticket hit $5,263. On-site, a latte cost $17 and an order of fries $28, and around 60% of attendees bought their original tickets on a payment plan. The conversation about whether Coachella has priced out its own audience has been running for years, and this April it got noticeably louder.
