Safer roads or just talk?
Oped, Editorial, Published on 31/12/2024
» Lower speed limits on roads in Bangkok's urban areas come as welcome news. Imposed to reduce road accidents, the rules passed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) have been in place and enforced since Dec 23.
Crossings chaos
Oped, Postbag, Published on 11/12/2024
» Well done to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) for the excellent resurfacing of many roads in the Suan Luang area by using tarmac to eliminate all the recently installed red pedestrian crossings, white road markings and lane dividers. The ensuing havoc of cars and bikes driving all over the flipping place and pedestrians having no crossing facilities on On Nut 17 (and other sois) as a result of those essential markings being obliterated is marvellous. Congratulations!

» With market turmoil recently capturing headlines, it is easy to lose sight of the long-term forces which have been shaping Asia's development. While Asian markets, especially the Nikkei, experienced sharp losses in recent weeks, a positive tipping point has been reached as well: for the first time ever, over half of Asia's 4.8 billion people are part of the global consumer class, defined by the World Data Lab as those spending more than US$12 (400 baht) per day in purchasing power parity prices.
Boat saga hard to take
Oped, Editorial, Published on 19/06/2024
» The public has already heard numerous examples of criminal evidence vanishing from police custody but the recent case of three oil-smuggling boats that disappeared from a police pier in Chon Buri is too preposterous to process.
