“honorary cardiologist status” Search Results - Bangkok Post : The world windows to Thailand

» Few United Nations Security Council resolutions have been as one-sided as its recent condemnation of Iran's "egregious attacks" on regional neighbours such as Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Leaving little room for interpretation, it describes those attacks as "a breach of international law and a serious threat to international peace and security".

Freedoms fall once more

Oped, Editorial, Published on 20/03/2026

» Thailand's score on Freedom House's latest "Freedom in the World" report dropped by two points, from 36 to 34. While a two-point slip may seem insignificant, the grade effectively placed the country in the "not free" category -- down from "partly free" in 2024.

Lesson from India to avoid the middle-income trap

Oped, Arvind Panagariya, Published on 18/03/2026

» Among Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's most ambitious goals is to transform his country into a developed economy by Aug 15, 2047 -- the centenary of Indian independence. Given India's growth record over the past two decades, the speed and scale of its infrastructure development in recent years, and the Modi government's willingness to enact large-scale economic reforms, India is likely to become one of the few developing countries to avoid the middle-income trap.

Diversification key to surviving volatility

Oped, Sally Tyler, Published on 13/03/2026

» On the day I am writing this editorial, I was meant to be travelling to Bangkok for one of my periodic visits to a city I have grown to love. I am always keen to shave off a few hours from a long-haul flight, which means the shortest flight path from my home in Washington, DC, would take me through Abu Dhabi, but my flight was cancelled like thousands of others due to the ongoing conflict in the Mideast. My inconvenience is nothing compared to the destruction endured by those on the ground, but it illustrates the expanding global impact of the US/Israel/Iran War.

» The escalating instability in the Middle East has sent shockwaves through global energy markets, forcing Southeast Asian nations into a precarious position. While the region has made significant pledges to transition toward renewables, the threat of interrupted gas supplies and surging LNG prices is creating a dangerous incentive to prioritise immediate energy security over long-term climate goals.

We don't need 'Seven Dangerous Days'

Oped, Peerasit Kamnuansilpa, Published on 27/02/2026

» Every Thai driver recognises the moment. The light turns green. Naturally, you can move; yet in Thai-style traffic, your instincts tell you to be hesitant. Despite the traffic light, a reckless motorcycle may still cross. A pickup may not stop. Drivers behind start honking as they wait to pass through the intersection. For a brief second, drivers just cannot afford to be certain about how others will behave.

Thailand's justice gap

Oped, Editorial, Published on 25/02/2026

» This week, Thailand marks the third anniversary of the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act 2022 -- albeit half-heartedly.

Klatham left out

Oped, Postbag, Published on 20/02/2026

» Re: "BJT gains Klatham backing", (BP, Feb 17). The headline was somewhat at variance with Pai Lik, its secretary-general's words that his party had no bargaining power to join the coalition, but it implied a dislike of being in the opposition for the next four years.
