The politics of taste in our election season
Oped, Kong Rithdee, Published on 26/12/2025
» Hell is other people's tastes. Hell is when we passionately hate what people unconditionally love. Hell is when we can't fathom how anyone on the face of the earth can like someone or something we find revolting -- a food, a film, a style, an opening ceremony, a politician, a president.

» Re: "The baht's troubling rise", (Editorial, Sept 22). It is much discussed in the media and on social media about the mysterious inflow of money that causes the Thai baht to strengthen.
