People’s Party’s diplomatic 'elegance' rings hollow

Oped, Pavin Chachavalpongpun, Published on 16/01/2026

» On Jan 11, the People’s Party held a high-profile event to showcase its “People’s Government”, offering a glimpse of its proposed executive leadership. Among the key speakers was Pisan Manawapat, a former diplomat and senator, designated as the party’s future foreign minister.

The battle over truth, reputation

News, Thasanai Chaiyakwaeng, Published on 17/12/2025

» In today's hyper-connected world, information travels at lightning speed -- often outpacing the truth. This rush to premature judgement, fuelled by viral posts and incomplete narratives, can devastate reputations overnight. Individuals, corporations, and even government agencies have found themselves tried in the court of public opinion long before any judicial verdict.

Monastic discipline in the digital age

Oped, Watcharin Ariyaprakai, Published on 23/07/2025

These days, the missiles that streak above Natanz or Esfahan arrive on TikTok between latte art tutorials and kittens sliding off sofas. The effect is less shock-and-awe, more scroll-and-shrug.

Southeast Asia facing hidden extremist threat

Oped, Muhammad Makmun Rasyid, Published on 07/07/2025

» In May, Indonesia's counter-terrorism unit arrested an 18-year-old man in Gowa, South Sulawesi, on charges of spreading Islamic State (IS) propaganda and inciting bomb attacks on social media. Identified only as MAS, the suspect represents a deeply troubling development in Southeast Asia's struggle against terrorism: the rise of youth radicalisation driven entirely by online exposure.

Don't let politics mask economic woes

Oped, Chartchai Parasuk, Published on 26/06/2025

» As if economic problems in Thailand are not bad enough, political issues add to the complications. The worst is the split in the coalition. Even with an overwhelming majority of 314 (out of 493 parliamentary seats) prior to the break-up, the government could not push for many major policies, including the 10,000 baht cash handout scheme.
