  News, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 02/07/2019

  » It only took a few seconds to change the substance of the discussion between Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai and his Brunei counterpart, Second Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Erywan Yusof, during their bilateral meeting on June 21. The two ministers were talking about ways to reduce the high cost of mobile phone roaming services in Asean to promote people-to-people contact. They were discussing "doing something together, sort-of-thing, to promote a people-centred community", according to a source who was at the meeting, when the host quipped, "Why not have Asean host the World Cup?". The word "yes" was the immediate response from Brunei. The rest is history.

  'Panther' poaching the tip of iceberg

  News, Published on 01/03/2018

  » Recent events in Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary have opened a wellspring of outrage and concern among the public about the fate of Thailand's wilderness heritage. The rare black Indochinese leopard (aka black panther) that was hunted has become emblematic of injustice and a call to action, especially among the younger generation. It has led to a fierce repudiation of some elites who see Thailand's remaining wilderness as a personal playground to exploit without regard for the law.

  Zico can get THAI scoring goals again

  News, Saritdet Marukatat, Published on 16/11/2015

  » I wonder what would happen at Thai Airways International if Kiatisak "Zico" Senamuang was appointed the "head coach"? Zico, one of thailand's greatest players and now national team coach, and THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira rose to the top of their respective organisations under similar circumstances. The Thai national football team before the former striker took the helm was going through a crisis of confidence and despairing fans could only watch as the War Elephants went up and then dramatically down through a major trophy drought.
