Election Made Easy

» The general election is this Sunday, baby! Aren't you stoked to be able to exercise your right to vote again after a five-year absence (or eight, if you take into consideration that the 2014 general election was deemed invalid by the Constitutional Court). Anywhoo, it can be overwhelming to digest all the information, campaign videos, memes, pictures of hot candidates and fake news that have flooded your Facebook newsfeed lately. Perhaps, it's best to judge our candidates based on their parties' policies and proposals, and Bangkok Poll on Sunday revealed that 97% of respondents in their latest survey will vote on Mar 24 and more than half said party policies will be the first factor when deciding which candidates to vote for.

» Adam Sharpe has worn various hats since moving to Thailand in 2009. The Londoner first became known in the local music scene and human development sector through his work with MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking), a campaign to raise awareness and increase the prevention of human trafficking by MTV EXIT Foundation. Adam, who's also the founder of Sofar Sounds Bangkok and Jenny & The Scallywags' ukulele player, recently started his new role as a consultant to UNESCO's upcoming youth programme. His band recently released an EP and their single Sounds Like Maybe topped the chart of indie radio station Cat Radio. In this exclusive interview, he tells us about his journey so far and how youth empowerment has become his new music. In the meantime, follow him via Twitter @MrAdamSharpe and get involved in the future project yourself.
