Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 18/04/2026
» The Tourism Authority of Thailand projected 30.3 billion baht in Songkran revenue this year, up 6% from 2025 and released the number with the kind of confidence that comes from having done the work. The production at Benchakitti Park, the coordinated Silom closure, the S2O headliners on Ratchadaphisek, the international press coverage -- none of it was accidental. Bangkok did not stumble into becoming one of the world's most-watched festival destinations. It applied for the job and this year the application was approved at scale.

How YouTube fails its creators

In general, if you are playing any musical selection in a teaching presentation, particularly if you are playing it yourself, or if the section is short and not the full song, then this should be all covered by "fair use". Enter the music industry. When you think about overbearing corporate control, this is the perfect example. Within this, some artists are worse than others, with the absolute worst being whomever represents The Eagles.
