News, Carlos Pascual, Published on 02/05/2018
» In the Middle East, all eyes are fixed on Syria's ongoing carnage and the international response to the latest chemical attack by Bashar al-Assad's regime. But if the United States seeks stability in the region, it needs a strategy to contain Iran's threats to its neighbours. The most effective place to start defies conventional wisdom: It is building an international coalition for a ceasefire in Yemen.
Is Huai Khwang really a new Chinatown?
News, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 18/09/2018
» Bluntly speaking, Huai Khwang, which has been dubbed a new Chinatown, is not really a Chinatown in the truest sense of the word -- not another Yaowarat for sure. The 400-metre strip along Pracha Rat Bamphen Road at best represents the dynamic and raw passion of new Chinese entrepreneurs, wanting to make money from millions of Chinese tourists through social media.

Top 25 Singles of 2019 (Part II)
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 29/12/2019
» As tradition dictates, we rummaged through some 200 singles we'd reviewed over the past 12 months and narrowed it down to 25. Here's what we learned in 2019: Thai fusion is still very much a go-to for most up-and-coming bands including Southern Boys and Suthep Entertainment, who both look to their roots for inspiration.
