This year, Songkran hits a little bit different
Life, Niki Chatikavanij, Published on 11/04/2026
» As Thais gear up for the upcoming Songkran holiday, I can't help but notice how this year's highly anticipated days off and time off work have a bit more nuance to them than usual. Granted, people are still discussing rest, relaxation and how they will fully utilise their time away from the office, whilst the jetset crowd will undoubtedly make full use of flying overseas and avoiding Middle Eastern routes, but something feels a bit different this year.

How YouTube fails its creators
Life, James Hein, Published on 08/04/2026
» YouTube is failing in customer protection, especially in certain categories. As a case study, consider YouTuber Davie504. Unless you are a bass player or interested in bass lines, you probably haven't heard of him. He spends time practising and demonstrating bass playing in a proficient and sometimes amusing fashion. He is unassuming and obviously works hard to present good content. In general, if you are playing any musical selection in a teaching presentation, particularly if you are playing it yourself, or if the section is short and not the full song, then this should be all covered by "fair use". Enter the music industry. When you think about overbearing corporate control, this is the perfect example. Within this, some artists are worse than others, with the absolute worst being whomever represents The Eagles.

» There is a particular kind of Saturday morning that has become recognisable in certain Bangkok circles. Someone wakes at 5am, checks their recovery score on their Whoop band, approves of the number, and heads to the airport. Not for a holiday or a work trip, but for a fitness race in Singapore.
