When the news is wrong about my homeland

Oped, José González Vargas, Published on 11/12/2025

» The people of Venezuela conjure contradictory images, particularly for those living in the Global North. We're starved and oppressed masses under a totalitarian thumb, but also arrogant and pigheaded émigrés living in golden exile from Miami to Madrid. More recently, we are hordes of criminals, the scum of the Earth, flooding into the United States. Where's the truth? Where's the lie?

Risk of financial crisis creeps ever closer

Oped, Chartchai Parasuk, Published on 06/02/2025

» When I started writing this article last week, I said to myself: "This might be another article no one will believe." Financial crisis? You must be out of your mind. The situation seems to be under control and it is likely to improve in 2025. After all, the Ministry of Finance has projected GDP growth for this year to be 2.5% to 3.5%, with a base case of 3.0%. No crisis can happen under such healthy growth, surely.

2025: Year of uncertainties and risks

Oped, Kirida Bhaopichitr, Published on 15/01/2025

» The Year of the Snake will be a challenging one for most countries as it will be filled with uncertainties and risks as geopolitical tensions intensify and deglobalisation accelerates. With President Donald Trump resuming the US presidency, the rise of trade and technology wars will disrupt trade and growth in many countries. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions in several key world hotspots may heighten the chance of wars. Nevertheless, amid the economic challenges, there are opportunities for the relocation of investments, which can be achieved if Thailand proves ready for them.

A New Year of high stakes

Oped, Editorial, Published on 01/01/2025

» The year 2024 was favourable to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government and the Pheu Thai Party. Last month, the charter court rejected some petitions from political opponents accusing her and Pheu Thai of violating election laws and malfeasance.

OPINION

The Trump shock is the Democrat Party's fault

Oped, Daron Acemoglu, Published on 19/11/2024

» The outcome of the US presidential election was more of a Democratic loss than a triumph for Donald Trump. The Democrats lost not because US President Joe Biden stayed in the race too long and not because Kamala Harris is unqualified but because they have been losing workers and failed to win them back.

Stats don't add up

Oped, Postbag, Published on 08/05/2024

» Re: "Astra jab blood clots 'rare' insists institute", (BP, May 4). One in 10 million in Thailand and one in 100,000 in the UK? How can the National Vaccine Institute possibly reconcile such a large sigma statistical anomaly and claim the risk of vaccine-induced blood clots is extremely rare in Thailand while it is criminally deadly in the UK? Worldwide, young people have been harmed and have died from blood clots -- a phenomenon that has never before been seen in these huge numbers.

Oped, Saritdet Marukatat, Published on 08/06/2023

Lush forests mean healthy people

Oped, Zhimin Wu, Published on 21/03/2023

» Today, more than half of the world's population live in urban areas. By 2050, this is expected to increase to almost 70%. Yet even people living in cities have begun to realise how vital access to forests, urban parks, and green spaces is for our mental health and well-being.
