Smells like a scam
Oped, Postbag, Published on 06/05/2022
» Re: "Fast-money trail", (PostBag, May 5). I agree with most right-thinking people like Samanea Saman (BP, May 5) that the Thai Pass fiasco may be a simple money grab led by insurance companies forcing worthless Covid policies on tourists.

The 'salim' phenomenon in Thai politics
Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 18/12/2020
» Few phenomena explain and underpin Thai politics more than the rise and decline of what is known pejoratively these days as salim, a metaphorical variation of salim, a Thai dessert comprising multi-coloured thin noodles served in coconut milk with crushed ice. Once socially attractive and politically fashionable, salim have gone out of vogue, looked down upon in a new era of anti-establishment protest for pro-democracy reforms under the new reign. What becomes of these pro-military royalist-conservative salim will have much to say about what will happen to Thailand's political future.

Give us a sporting chance
Asia focus, Nareerat Wiriyapong, Published on 22/08/2016
» Watching sports is my sport. Growing up in a family with two brothers and no sisters, I became a female football enthusiast. I also like watching tennis, volleyball and sepak takraw, partly because they are sports in which Thai teams and players have achieved international fame. We are proud of them and gratefully appreciate their hard work.

Reaching the finish line in Rio's Games
Oped, Roger Crutchley, Published on 21/08/2016
» Because of the 10-hour time difference, it's been quite gruelling following that sporting event down in the land where "coffee beans grow by the billions" -- I still can't get that song out of my head. I can safely claim to have dozed off while watching swimming, boxing, badminton, golf (sorry Ariya) and missing far too many gold medal performances.

Sport, drugs a deadly mix
News, Editorial, Published on 20/07/2016
» The five-day drama lived by Thailand's badminton princess and suffered by the country is over. Ratchanok Intanon is going to travel to Rio de Janeiro and compete at the 2016 Olympic Games, which begin in 16 days. It was touch and go for several days. Ratchanok tested positive for a somewhat strange drug used when she was recovering from a knee injury. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) meeting in Kuala Lumpur decided she had not technically abused the anti-doping rules.
