» It is with a sense of sadness that I observe the deteriorating situation between Thailand and Cambodia. As neighbours, we have a shared part, present and future.

'Amazing Thailand' just won't go away
Roger Crutchley, Published on 13/10/2024
» I must confess to groaning just a little this week upon seeing the headline "Amazing Thailand is back". I am not sure it ever went away. We were informed that next year we are in for "Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism Year" with the aim to attract more than 40 million visitors to these sunny shores. That's all a bit scary.
The precarious life of gorillas

» Have you ever wondered what it is like to stand face to face with a creature so powerful yet so achingly human in its gaze? Imagine, for a moment, to be in the heart of Africa's mystical forests, surrounded by towering trees and the ethereal sounds of nature.

Worst is confirmed
Oped, Postbag, Published on 12/08/2020
» With the greatest respect to Atiya Achakulwisut, whose intelligent and courageous opinion pieces are an object lesson in excellent reporting, I cannot agree with her statement in today's column that "the Red Bull case has shattered the reputation of the Royal Thai Police..." . In fact it seems to me that the opposite is true. The case has confirmed the well-deserved appalling reputation of Thailand's out-of-control police force, diligently earned through decades of corrupt practices, criminality, incompetence and complacency.
