» This past week, most Bangkokians woke up with a post-election hangover. It's a similar feeling to when you have too many glasses of wine at dinner, or went a bit too heavy for your friend's birthday.

» Married to an abusive man, Nang* experienced physical abuse by her husband on several occasions. In fact, the physical violence affected her brain and movement to the point where she cannot turn her head normally and suffers from head tremors from time to time. To prevent her children from becoming victims of domestic violence, she urged them to move out but decided to stay with her husband because she claimed that if she left him, nobody would take care of him as everyone in his family had already abandoned him.

The audio was being sent by Bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy S10 5G phone that I was also using to play a location-based game, Ingress. This was being fed my position by satellite and receiving information from the internet via my phone's data connection. Occasionally I would pull down the notification tab to see what was on for the day and who had tried to contact me via a number of social-media services.
