News, Postbag, Published on 08/12/2015
» I agree with JB (PostBag, Dec 6) that there is an urgent need for Thai immigration laws to be reviewed and changed to reflect the current situation.

Questionable law
News, Postbag, Published on 12/11/2015
» Well done to Sanitsuda Ekachai (Opinion, Nov 11) for boldly asking questions about the suspicious detention deaths of two people accused of lese majeste.
