» The Ashton Asoke Condo saga illustrates how things can go wrong in real estate development projects. For the consumer, it was a nightmare that the Supreme Administrative Court decided earlier this month that the condo which had been built a few years back and sold to them in the end lacked a proper entrance which meant its permit was revoked. For investors, it was a reversal in fortune, not to mention a PR disaster.

Oped, Peerasit Kamnuansilpa and Wei Yang, Published on 22/12/2022

Their economy stagnated and was under the control of the privileged groups, the elite rulers in the case of Thailand, and the bourgeois in China. People in the countryside were left with economic plight and suffering. Initially, Thailand had taken a leap toward reform by changing into a constitutional monarchy following a coup led by Khana Ratsadon (the People's Party), supported by young military personnel and Thai students who graduated overseas, to spur economic development and improve the economic well-being of the public.

» PostScript recently discussed how the month of May is looked upon fondly in Britain, partly because it heralds warmer weather.

» I have closely followed Thai politics since 1961 when my father, Kenneth Young, was US Ambassador to Thailand. The tension between Thai traditions and westernisation, which broke into the open with the revolution of 1932, is still unresolved after many constitutions, many protests and many coups.
Fallout from Ja New attack hurts govt
News, Veera Prateepchaikul, Published on 01/07/2019
» Fingers are pointing at the government with accusations about its indifference to, or ignorance of, political violence; or even complicity in the violence itself over the brutal attack on anti-junta political activist Sirawith "Ja New" Seritiwat by four unidentified perpetrators in Klong Sam Wa district in Bangkok on Friday.
