Thai-Style Xmas
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/12/2021
» Despite the fact that a majority of the Thai population claim to be Buddhists, they go all out to celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday every year. Even though they may not be aware that it's his birthday and Xmas isn't even an official holiday despite all the lights and Christmas trees that pop up across the country. I've gone down Bangkok Post's archive (Xmas pun intended) to present a few quirky and local twists on the worldwide holiday. While they may not be unique to Thailand, they are definitely memorable. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Kofi Annan: heart-felt tribute to a 'great statesman'
News, Noeleen Heyzer, Published on 20/08/2018
» Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations, wrote to me just a few weeks ago to be a member of the Global Commission on Elections and Democracy in the Digital Age that he was chairing. It is with great sadness that I have learned of his passing. The world has lost a great statesman and we who had the honour of working with him have lost a visionary leader and a wise mentor.
The Putin factor and Russia's future
News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 23/02/2018
» Why wait another month to report on the Russian election when we can wrap it up right now? Vladimir Putin is going to win another six years in power by a landslide -- probably between 60% and 70% of the vote. The real question is what happens after that, because he will be 72 by the end of his next term and will not legally be allowed to run for president again.
