News, Wassana Nanuam, Published on 22/03/2012
» Army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra seem to be getting along with each other very well on the surface with no conflicts that could possibly derail efforts toward reconciliation. But that does not necessarily mean the two see eye to eye on everything.

» Former coup maker Sonthi Boonyaratkalin must have disappointed quite a few people with his refusal to give away the secrets about the real mastermind behind the Sept 19 coup which ousted the Thaksin regime in 2006 for the reason that "telling the truth today will not do any good" to the reconciliation efforts now under way to heal Thailand's colour-coded political divide.

» There is hardly a person in Bangkok whose life is not linked in some way to Siam Square. It has been the hangout for people of every age group and gender. It does not discriminate against social standing and pay cheque. You can go there whether you travel by chauffeur-driven limousine, BTS or public bus.
Rumour Has It
News, Voranai Vanijaka, Published on 18/03/2012
» It is true that Thailand is xenophobic. The history of foreign powers nibbling at and chewing off our former vassal states in the past has caused us to be overly paranoid about foreign land ownership now. It was also annoying to find out that there's always a bigger bully out there with a longer stick.
