Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 25/04/2026
» Most Thai people are familiar with the saying the Kingdom has abundant fish in its rivers and rice in its fields. Additionally, the Kitchen of the World campaign had led people to believe the country has a surplus of food. However, ironically, the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council revealed that 6.2 million Thais suffer from malnutrition.

Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 18/04/2026
» The Tourism Authority of Thailand projected 30.3 billion baht in Songkran revenue this year, up 6% from 2025 and released the number with the kind of confidence that comes from having done the work.

The Bangkok Motor Show, after the fuel shock
BitesizeBKK, Published on 01/04/2026
» The Bangkok International Motor Show still knows how to stage desire. This year’s edition, running from March 25 to April 5 at IMPACT Challenger, has all the familiar pleasures intact: polished bodywork under hard lights, crowds drifting from stand to stand, and the quiet thrill of being close to machines designed to look smoother, sharper and more complete than everyday life usually allows.
