Our top 10 stories in a year that will be hard to forget
Spectrum, Published on 25/12/2016
» Over the past year 'Spectrum' has reported a wide range of issues to give readers valuable insights. Our reporter ambushed the monk who helped Leicester City to their shock English Premier League title to get an exclusive. Another reporter blended in with Chinese yuppies in the new business district of Bangkok to find out why they decided to migrate to Thailand.

» The first Bangkok Queer Theatre Festival is drawing to a close this weekend after an 11-week run, which began on Sept 27, at the new Sun Dance Theatre in Silom. The festival showcases two original plays, two contemporary dances and two solo performances by established and emerging artists — an admirable achievement. Our only complaint was the absence in representation of lesbians and transsexuals. But if such a festival continues, it is likely that more artists showcasing works about other sexual identities will emerge.
