    When monsters attack

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/03/2017

    » Kong: Skull Island seems like it tries -- and largely fails -- to present a serious, deep message, even though it often veers into the campy territory so many monster films seem to occupy. Most of the characters -- of which there are unnecessarily many -- are completely devoid of personality or even purpose, getting introduced only to eventually become monster-snacks, offering absolutely nothing to the plot beyond creating a false sense of mortality for the obvious band of destined survivors. The plot, as anyone familiar with King Kong's lore can surmise, is also nothing new, and is actually quite similar to the Peter Jackson-directed King Kong's (2005) plot of a group of outsiders surviving on a hostile island dominated by the giant ape.

    Everything old is new again

    Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 11/10/2019

    » Bangkok is a city that constantly sees new constructions reaching up to the sky. But if you look close enough, a great number of ancient homes are being brought back to life, reborn with renewed purpose. They demonstrate that embracing historical beauty along with modern innovation produces fascinating and profitable results, with the reassurance that architecturally significant homes are being kept alive. Over the recent years, such places have been popping up more and we hope they continue to. Guru has scoped out some of Bangkok's most admirable, century-old homes to discover the stories behind them.

    Can Myanmar cinema get a second act?

    Spectrum, Published on 14/07/2013

    » During its 93-year history, Myanmar's film industry has experienced more than its fair share of ups and downs.

Total shutdowns preceded the coup and an arguably more sinister atmosphere developed decades afterwards it.

    By gohmer, Created on: 09/05/2010, Last updated on: 11/06/2011

    » I putting this post up because it is related to international relationships with American citizens living and visiting Thailand. It illustrated to me that little is known about America by most people in Thailand, in fact, I think that few in the world truly understand what America is about and how...

    • Noah Shepherd commented : as President and Rama III was King, that's 167 years by my sums. The agreement was the precursor to increased international trade and investment, not as a result of it as OP alludes to; so it is not "proof" at all. (Under WTO rules, the Amity agreement is technically illegal, but that's another story.) Have a nice day.
