    Let's demand more from donations

    News, Boonwara Sumano, Published on 10/08/2016

    » For the past five years, Charities Aids Foundation (CAF) has been reporting levels of generosity in countries around the world using three categories: giving money, volunteering, and helping strangers. In 2015, Thailand ranked 19th in the CAF World Giving Index for the overall score of 48%. But in the donating money category, Thailand scored as high as 87% and seconded only to Myanmar, which ranked first in the overall CAF index. TDRI's calculation, based on the National Statistical Office's Household Socio-Economic Survey, also found that Thai households are donating more and more money every year, amounting to more than 75 billion baht in 2014, or around 0.6% of the country's GDP that year. These statistics suggest that most Thais are kind and generous when it comes to giving money to others.

    Let Pakistan's ISI do its job

    News, Published on 16/06/2015

    » The Thai man who tried to carry a pistol and ammunition aboard an airliner last week is being held in custody in Pakistan. That country's top security agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, (ISI) is serious about security threats. And rightly so, given the reality of Pakistan's problems with terrorism. When a supposed student from another country is involved in such an unsubtle case involving a weapon and an international airliner, any nation would be remiss if it failed to conduct a thorough investigation.
