Thaksin looms over Thai foreign policy
Oped, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 04/01/2025
» Thai diplomacy has recently reared its ugly head. Two approaches are at play -- the official one pronounced in parliament in September and the informal one made by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra at any given moment. Truth be told, the latter seems to overshadow the former. The Thaksinisation of Thai foreign policy is coming back with a loud bang.

» Re: "Dusit Zoo successor to open next year", (BP, July 22). Although the new zoo is a most welcome development in principle, I can't picture Babar and his odd choice of chums cooperating in this Arcadian fantasy.

Why Bua Noi needs a sanctuary
Oped, Jason Baker, Published on 17/07/2024
» Animals at Pata Zoo in Bangkok are condemned to prison for life. Among them is Bua Noi, a gorilla whose existence has been reduced to staring blankly at a television screen from her enclosure, as seen in a viral video. This isn't the life she deserves. Gorillas need freedom, not television.

» Re: "Govt vows cut in energy prices", (BP, Jan 2). Instead of temporarily cutting energy prices, PM Srettha should heed Lao Tzu's wise words: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." For example, Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga is mulling subsidising oil for farmers. But when the handout ends, farmers will revert to their old ways.
