» As Thais gear up for the upcoming Songkran holiday, I can't help but notice how this year's highly anticipated days off and time off work have a bit more nuance to them than usual.

How YouTube fails its creators
Life, James Hein, Published on 08/04/2026
» YouTube is failing in customer protection, especially in certain categories. As a case study, consider YouTuber Davie504.

Enter the music industry. When you think about overbearing corporate control, this is the perfect example. Within this, some artists are worse than others, with the absolute worst being whomever represents The Eagles.

Why we need walkable cities
Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 21/03/2026
» Morning work commutes in Bangkok are tackled like olympian tasks. For some, it's a trudge down a narrow soi, followed by a motorbike taxi serpentining through traffic, leading to a transfer onto the BTS or MRT. Especially ambitious commutes may end with a walk across a skywalk or through a shopping complex before reaching the office. What looks like a straightforward commute on a map instead looks like a series of compromises one makes with the city.
