» Here we go again. This is what I think whenever I walk into the large shopping mall near my home in Bangkok. Instead of free space where shoppers can enjoy roaming and browsing, these days the aisles are clogged by commercial booths, sometimes for car sales, which require a large space of course. What bothers me more is when sales representatives from various stalls approach me to offer free stuff, ask me to test their products or fill out questionnaires.
How well will we age?

» When I was thinking about topics to discuss with the new country head of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Thailand recently, one issue that came to mind was the challenge of population ageing in Southeast Asia.

» Watching sports is my sport. Growing up in a family with two brothers and no sisters, I became a female football enthusiast. I also like watching tennis, volleyball and sepak takraw, partly because they are sports in which Thai teams and players have achieved international fame. We are proud of them and gratefully appreciate their hard work.
