    A King for all ages

    Life, Sasiwimon Boonruang, Published on 17/10/2016

    » Last Thursday was the saddest day for Thai people. It was late evening when I was driving home with my two children who were asleep in the back seat. As soon as the radio anchor announced the passing of our beloved King, tears began pouring down my face.

    Life, Sasiwimon Boonruang, Published on 13/01/2015

    » One day while waiting for the Skytrain at Victory Monument station, with everyone queuing in two lines, a man rushed in and stood at the exact spot where the doors of the train were supposed to open.

The internet has become the "default" mode whenever we sit down in front of a terminal and press a keyboard.

Not just for searching for information or contacting people, I buy books, browse for stuff for my kids, and book air tickets, all online. It would be more and more difficult now to find someone who's never shopped or done a transaction online.
