Bribery on the roads?
Oped, Editorial, Published on 10/11/2023
» At a glance, the collapse of a section of road near Soi Sukhumvit 64/1 on Wednesday that nearly swallowed up a loaded lorry could be just another accident beyond anyone's control. But at a closer look, the mishap, which is the second of its type in less than a week, could have something to do with long-standing bribery issues in the transport sector.

» Established by the folks behind the Craftpital bar at W District, Hoppy HRS lies just past the open-air food court between BTS Phra Khanong and Ekamai, on the even side of the road. Inspired from their trip to Chicago and their love for street food in the region (namely hot dogs), owners Sahachol "Micky" Chairat and Phatphitcha "Minnie" Suksangwarn decided to create a bar that could serve as a casual hangout spot where their friends can gather after work and enjoy locally crafted beer and sodas, as well as hot dogs. The small and cosy space gives customers a chance to relax on the couch near the DJ booth and sing their hearts out to 80s-90s alt rock. Anybody up for some karaoke to songs by Oasis?
