» War creates heroes. It also fuels a strong sense of patriotism. Hence, in the eyes of most Thais, the Thai military -- especially Lt Gen Boonsin Padklang, former commander of the 2nd Army Region -- have become heroes for risking their lives, or for the lives lost and injuries sustained, during the two rounds of bloody armed conflict with Cambodian forces in July and December.

» Many people may not care about the tragic death of Marium, an eight-month-old orphaned baby dugong. Marium died on Saturday from an infection exacerbated by bits of plastic lining her stomach. She was found beached in Krabi province in April, rescued and then treated by veterinarians of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources with the hope that, one day, when she was strong enough, she would be able to return to the wild to be with the other dugongs in the sea around Libong island in Trang province.
