The cost of Bangkok's health obsession
Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 04/04/2026
» There is a particular kind of Saturday morning that has become recognisable in certain Bangkok circles. Someone wakes at 5am, checks their recovery score on their Whoop band, approves of the number, and heads to the airport. Not for a holiday or a work trip, but for a fitness race in Singapore.
The price of achievement

Is Hyrox really for everyone?
Life, Anna Neatpisarnvanich, Published on 01/04/2026
» We train in waves -- rounds, circuits, relentless effort stacking on endlessly. We chase the burn, the pace, the push past comfort. But for the longest time, there was no real arena for that kind of training. No start line, no finish line, no way to measure yourself against others in the world.
Hyrox brings out all of Bangkok
BitesizeBKK, Published on 26/03/2026
» For three days in late March, BITEC felt charged with a kind of energy Bangkok has become increasingly good at generating: collective, slightly feverish, and impossible to watch from a distance without wanting to lean in. HYROX returned to the city from March 20 to 22, filling the venue with athletes, supporters, first-timers, relay teams, gym friends and curious onlookers, all drawn into the same fast-moving orbit of strain, encouragement and release.
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.
