We don't need 'Seven Dangerous Days'

» 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.

Safer roads or just talk?

Crossings chaos
Oped, Postbag, Published on 11/12/2024
» Well done to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) for the excellent resurfacing of many roads in the Suan Luang area by using tarmac to eliminate all the recently installed red pedestrian crossings, white road markings and lane dividers. The ensuing havoc of cars and bikes driving all over the flipping place and pedestrians having no crossing facilities on On Nut 17 (and other sois) as a result of those essential markings being obliterated is marvellous. Congratulations!
Asia's consumer tipping point
Oped, Juan Caballero & Wolfgang Fengler, Published on 17/09/2024
» With market turmoil recently capturing headlines, it is easy to lose sight of the long-term forces which have been shaping Asia's development. While Asian markets, especially the Nikkei, experienced sharp losses in recent weeks, a positive tipping point has been reached as well: for the first time ever, over half of Asia's 4.8 billion people are part of the global consumer class, defined by the World Data Lab as those spending more than US$12 (400 baht) per day in purchasing power parity prices.
