Our Rose of Klong Toey, a Christmas baby
Life, Father Joe Maier, Published on 23/12/2021
» At Christmas, deep in the heart of each of us is a "broken alleluia". So often, almost always, in the slums of Klong Toey and here at Mercy Centre. The whispers, tears, the silent gestures of the children say so much about sadness and being dumped, left alone in an abandoned building or a bus stop. That's the broken part, and the alleluia is the joy of Christmas, of being loved. Being found.

Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/03/2019
» Who doesn't love pizza? If you say "me" then kindly be aware that everyone is judging you.

Whether your taste buds are wanting some traditional Italian pizzas or perhaps you want to feast on a full one-metre rectangular pizza with your buddies, you can get all these right here in the Big Mango -- you just have to know where to look. And that's where we come in. Rest easy, readers -- here are our picks of the best pizzas around the city.
New moons
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 02/12/2016
» There's one food that no one ever needed to learn to love, and that's pizza. The universal appreciation for pizzas means that every once in a while duty calls for us to sacrifice our hard earned bikini bods to try all the new pizzerias in town. So appreciate these findings from our piggish pilgrimage. We've got everything from the highly competitive to harmlessly light-hearted. Enjoy and follow our footsteps, with caution.

They are listed in no particular order. Bon appetit!

Struggle for her homeland
Life, Karnjana Karnjanatawe, Published on 16/03/2015
» Suraida Tolee never thought that one day she would lead the people in Chana district, on the Thai-Malay border in Songkhla province, in a fight against government policies. That fight began 20 years ago, and continues to this day. Her life was at peace until she learnt that the Thailand-Malaysia gas pipeline and separation plant project would be built in her homeland as a result of the government's development policy for the South.
