Green spaces that make our city shine
News, Vitit Muntarbhorn, Published on 25/04/2026
» For Bangkok denizens, April is the time to celebrate Songkran. Yet, Songkran was not only a moment for water-splashing but also for adventure, especially if you were unable to travel outside the city during the period.
Forget births, cut Thai deaths first

» Thailand's demographic debate is too often framed as though the country had only one option: raise fertility or accept a shrinking workforce. That view is understandable, but for the next two decades, it is mostly the misaligned policy horizon. If the question is how Thailand can strengthen its workforce before mid-century, the fastest answer is not higher fertility, but rather lower mortality.

A trip to the far side of the Moon

» The current Moon mission has been a most welcome distraction from the depressing events in the Middle East. Watching the launch of Artemis II from the Kennedy Space Center it was hard not to feel that tingle of excitement which accompanies such a liftoff as the crew headed into space. They will even have a rare look at the far side of the lunar surface. We wish them a safe flight.

Tackle food waste, curb pollution
Oped, Edel S. Garingan, Published on 24/03/2026
» Climate change and air pollution are not driven by carbon dioxide alone. To address global warming, we must also address extremely powerful pollutants like methane, which has the capacity to trap heat in the atmosphere far more effectively than carbon dioxide over a short period of time.
A prudent path

» Re: "Thailand braces for fallout from Mideast war", (Business, March 9). While we wish the leading political party in the new government fortitude and resilience in its efforts to steer Thailand through these turbulent times, we must also remind ourselves of the wise counsel of King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great when he proposed the Sufficiency Economy as the most viable philosophy to help Thailand surmount the challenges of external threats and global shifts in economics and political destabilisation.

Cornflakes, cats and grizzly bears

» Readers are no doubt aware that the official codename for the current US action in the Middle East is Operation Epic Fury which admittedly sounds more like the title of a martial arts B movie. It should not be confused with Operation Urgent Fury, the name given to the US invasion of Grenada back in 1983 during the Reagan administration. Israel incidentally has its own name for the current mission, Operation Roaring Lion.
