Thailand's future: turning neutrality into opportunity
Business, Dr Nalinee Taveesin, Published on 11/11/2025
» Thailand stands at a defining moment. The world around us is changing fast -- in trade, technology and geopolitics. Yet amid this flux, Thailand's enduring strengths remain clear: a strategic location at the heart of Asia, strong logistics and industrial networks and a steady hand in diplomacy. These qualities have long underpinned our success. Now, they can become the foundation for our next phase of growth -- if we use them wisely.

Volunteering can improve cognitive health
Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 28/10/2025

Now I'm seeing on the news that volunteering can be good for cognitive health. I would like to know more about that.

Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 21/10/2025
» Dear Doctors: My husband has prediabetes. I read that going for a walk after you eat can help your blood sugar, so I always do that. But my husband says when you sit down again, your blood sugar goes right back up, so what's the point? Is that true? I'm not giving up on him joining me.

Vegan diet causes increased intestinal gas
Life, Dr Eve Glazier and Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 12/08/2025
» Dear Doctors: I am a vegan, and after a meal, I have uncomfortable and smelly intestinal gas. It has only ever eased when I took an antibiotic and after colonoscopy prep. I assume that's because these killed my gut bacteria. Is there a fast way to reset the gut? Is this problem a health risk?
