    Sunken 'ghost ship' could haunt Gulf fish

    News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 16/01/2022

    » The week began promisingly with the discovery of a mystery "ghost ship" drifting in the Gulf of Thailand with no crew, cargo or documents aboard -- not even any defiant rodents. First spotted by Chevron oil-rig workers, the dilapidated Fin Shui Yuan 2, appeared to be a freighter of Chinese origin. Unfortunately, the vessel sunk in rough seas off the Nakhon Sri Thammarat coast while being towed towards land by the Thai Navy.

    Conjugal confusion

    Oped, Postbag, Published on 01/01/2022

    » Re: "Thamanat's fortunes dip", (BP, Dec 29). I see from our "flour" ex-minister Thamanat's asset declaration that he has not one but two wives, evidently living in harmony, as evidenced by their two children.

And why are we so drawn to them now, especially to mark one year's end and another's beginning?

    Foreign noses always good for a laugh

    News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 19/12/2021

    » Today's column is coming from the northeastern province of Chaiyaphum to where I periodically escape for a break from Bangkok. There was a quick reminder that I was no longer in the Big Mango while sitting in a village restaurant with my wife and friends. A Thai lad about 5 years old came up to our table and stared at me for a bit and giggled. I might add this is not an unusual reaction to Crutch in the provinces.

    Age-old nature of the 'New Cold War'

    Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 19/11/2021

    » History is back with a vengeance. Contrary to what proponents of the "end of history" theory said a few decades ago, the ideological struggle of the 20th century between the "free world" versus "the socialist-communist" camp is still ongoing, despite the Cold War ending over three decades ago. The struggle now features the United States-led Western alliance versus the China-centric global network of nations with authoritarian tendencies.
