    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 16/04/2021

    » Colectiv, a Romanian documentary film nominated for two Oscars, watches in terror as the Romanian healthcare system practically collapses before the camera.

    PM must learn to turn other cheek

    News, Veera Prateepchaikul, Published on 13/07/2020

    » After six years in office and having earned the unenviable reputation of being an "angry pot" for his occasionally unprovoked outbursts at Government House reporters, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha might have thought it was about time for him to change tack and reach out to media outlets that he didn't appear to admire.
