» It was encouraging to see the prominence the Bangkok Post yesterday gave to Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda's strong opinions on fighting corruption.
Anti-Russian agenda
News, Postbag, Published on 07/10/2016
» It's apparent that John Lloyd, who wrote "Putin's Syria playbook? To recapture Soviet glory", (BP, Oct 2) has outright hatred towards Russia and I hope smart and intelligent readers will have no trouble separating the truth from lies and understanding the true goal of this shoddy author.
Some logic at last
News, Postbag, Published on 01/10/2016
» Your Sept 29 front-page article, "PM aims for 'developed nation' status", is very timely and significant. It mentions some, but not all, of the factors that are presently inhibiting Thailand's further development. Having moved successfully from "less developed" to "middle income" level, the country is stubbornly refusing to make the second jump to "fully developed" status. Thailand is well and truly caught in what is called the "middle income trap".

» This morning, I learned the street vendors working on Phahon Yothin near Soi 8 have been ordered to move out by the end of this month. Previously, they had been told they would have to leave the area by the end of the year, but for reasons not clear to me the deadline was accelerated just this week.

Rules of the game
News, Postbag, Published on 10/08/2016
» If someone illegally takes control of a ship its called piracy and it's a very serious offence. When people interfere with the planned flight of an aircraft it's known as hijacking and carries a severe punishment. One would think an even greater offence would be the illegal ousting of an elected government by an armed group, commonly known as a coup d'etat which in some countries would carry the most extreme penalty.
Question of balance

» It appears the Bangkok Post belongs to the mainstream media of this world and only prints articles from Associated Press, The New York Times, etc (especially from Paul Krugman), but never prints articles from opposing sides.
