Breathing in the dark

» Sangyond Loongta, 12, has never heard of PM2.5. Neither has her 14-year-old sister Kamong, nor their two-year-old sister Mauypong. The three girls arrived in Thailand about a year ago with their parents, who pick oranges in the orchards of Fang district in northern Chiang Mai. For much of that year, the children lived deep inside the orchard, helping raise their youngest sibling but not going to school.

GOHAN: One stray dog, three stray people
Khanaphot Saengchai, Published on 12/04/2026
» With the same producer as How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024), GOHAN (2026) is proof that these people know how to make a tear jerking film with a universally heart touching topic about a family member. This time, in GOHAN, instead of an abandoned grandma, it's about an abandoned dog (and three abandoned humans.)
This year, Songkran hits a little bit different
Life, Niki Chatikavanij, Published on 11/04/2026
» As Thais gear up for the upcoming Songkran holiday, I can't help but notice how this year's highly anticipated days off and time off work have a bit more nuance to them than usual. Granted, people are still discussing rest, relaxation and how they will fully utilise their time away from the office, whilst the jetset crowd will undoubtedly make full use of flying overseas and avoiding Middle Eastern routes, but something feels a bit different this year.
Splashing times ahead!

Robots get smooth moves
Life, James Hein, Published on 25/03/2026
» The subject of the week is robots. The amount of news on these keeps growing and growing. South Korea is first up here with their KAIST Humanoid. In the field test, the robot was shown running across a soccer pitch, jumping, taking shots on goal, and even doing dance moves akin to the Michael Jackson moonwalk. Many robot demonstrations still look a bit stiff but these moves were quite smooth. The robot can run at about 12kph on flat ground with the next goal at 14kph. It can climb a ladder with 40cm steps and the knees can generate 320 Newton metres of peak torque so it can push heavier objects. The current model is based on the lower human half but the goal is for a full humanoid form that can work with people in industrial environments.

After the wildfires were extinguished, Kan asked her assistant to go with her to collect ashes and burnt wood to create artwork. Some of those artworks are now on display at the exhibition "Blueprint of the Apocalypse" at VS Gallery.
