Sky-high luxe at the Rosewood Phnom Penh
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 05/02/2023
» There is something to be said about countries like Cambodia, which have gone through deep periods of darkness only to emerge from them with grace and the will go on. Covid, be damned or so the busy streets of Phnom Penh would say. And nothing stands in the way of this testament more than the city's first skyscraper, rising 188 metres above the Cambodian capital, where the Rosewood Phnom Penh is housed.

Subject(s) (That) Matter

» Two things that recently happened made me wonder about the definition of education in Thailand. First, a uni professor in Phitsanulok drafted a new course called "My Beloved Country" but the board rejected it, saying its purpose isn't in line with that of a general education course. The professor said his subject encourages students to "understand and appreciate their own values, as well as values of others, society, culture and nature". It sounds fine and dandy until you see his list of 18 guest lecturers consisting of controversial figures, some of whom are seen as aligning themselves with the government. So, if you disagree with them, would you be considered disloyal to Thailand or something? Second, Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang ordered all schools under BMA to have their students sing the royal anthem after they sing the national anthem before classes every morning to remind them of Thailand's three pillars -- nation, religion and monarchy -- which I humbly think the kids are reminded of plenty already.

Their posters are their opportunity to make first impressions with the public and you can’t avoid them on our already hard-to-navigate sidewalks, anyway. Here are some of the most memorable posters in the upcoming election that I spotted on the street and online.
