Please, touch the art
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/08/2017
» It's not easy learning art when you can't see. For many blind or visually-impaired students in a regular school curriculum, art class can become a tedious and limited affair. While they may be able to memorise names and dates for a quiz, blind students can struggle to keep up with their visually normal peers in more practical tasks or assignments, creating a gap between the capabilities of visually-impaired and regular students.

Siam Square's night of the living dead
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 31/03/2017
» Siam Square needs no introduction. With a history dating back to the 1970s, the shopping district remains the prime meeting spot for today's Bangkok youth, with plenty of shops, restaurants and a building literally made of tutoring schools. It's not the kind of place you'd expect to associate with a horror film, which is exactly what makes Siam Square, the directorial-debut of Pairat Kumwan, so interesting.

Helping hands
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 08/11/2016
» Bend, knead, squeeze, relaxed and healed -- Thai massage is an ancient art that retains its contemporary relevance and actually gains steadfast popularity. Traditional Thai massage establishments have grown in number in Thailand and abroad, but the nerve centre of it all remains Wat Phra Chettuphon, or Wat Pho.

Twigging on to educational excellence
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 04/04/2016
» 'If you look around the world, the best teaching practice is one of organised chaos," said Anthony Bouchier, founder and CEO of Twig World, a UK-based company specialising in educational videos. "You allow students moments of activity and noise, but you also need to be able to sit them down and engage their attention and curiosity. People employing good teaching practices recognise that is the best stimulus and incentive to learning. That's what technology brings them, which is the whole world in their classroom."

» The recent incident concerning the director of Debsirin School getting on his knees to apologise to a disgruntled high school student no doubt made a lot of Thai people uncomfortable. The incident happened when director Ananth Supwaree was called out by a student for having spoken five minutes longer than the 20 minutes he said he required during the school's routine morning flag-raising assembly, a common custom in Thai schools everywhere. The director admitted his mistake to the student, and even offered a wai in the way of an apology.

Face of a survivor
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 12/01/2016
» At first glance, few people would ever expect 51-year-old taxi driver Subin Samart to be as happy as he is today. Subin's story made waves on social media late last year when a photo of him was posted by one of his sympathetic passengers, accompanied by his story of rejection from various jobs and passengers due to his disfigured face, the result of a childhood accident when he was five years old. This attention has earned him the support of various organisations, most recently GrabTaxi, which late last year approached Subin to recruit him as a driver.

Khan Academy
Muse, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/10/2015
» As the age-old saying goes, it is never too late to learn new things. This is especially true in the modern age, where the overwhelming wealth of knowledge that is the internet is more accessible than it ever was before. However, sifting through the endless pages of the web in the hopes of learning exactly what you want to learn can sometimes be a hassle, and in-depth online courses don’t always come cheap.
