Testing trail for bikers Rayong bound
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 16/02/2012
» If you have travelled to Rayong's famous Samet Island before, you probably have seen those hills with telecommunication towers on top just a few kilometres before Ban Phae, the town where the ferry piers are located. Then again, with your thoughts probably already on the beaches and the island ahead of you by that point, perhaps you have never noticed those seemingly uninteresting hills off the highway.

» Animation is an engaging and enjoyable format to work with and can involve everything from stop motion and traditional cell drawing to computer generation and even newer cutting-edge media technologies. It's also a great vehicle to advance young people's understanding of storytelling and the sequencing of ideas, giving them an outlet for their creative energy while honing their technical skills and their ability to work in close collaboration with others.

» Once in a while, Yingluck Shinawatra does something that makes sense to me. Since becoming prime minister she has tended to turn a deaf ear to criticism and her below-par response to last year's deluge certainly didn't inspire much confidence in her leadership skills, but I recently found myself nodding in agreement with something she said. She declared that she is going to give the highest priority to reforestation and the digging of small ponds as flood-prevention measures.

» A few years ago I happened on a series of releases on DVD of an ancient US science-fiction television programme called Tales of Tomorrow. It was broadcast during 1951-2, when memories of World War II and the horrific revelations of its final years were still quite fresh. They gave rise to a widely felt pessimism about human nature that was apparent in the movies of the post-war years _ shadowy American film noir culminating in Robert Aldrich's apocalyptic, still-terrifying Kiss Me Deadly, French existentialist parables like Wages of Fear, and many of the Japanese classics made during the period.

» There's only one giraffe in all of Jakarta, we're informed early in Postcards from the Zoo. "I like the form, the presence, the elegance. It looks like a centaur, the half-horse half-man," says Edwin, the director of the Indonesian film. "A giraffe always moves as if in slow-motion. It's so nice to make a composition out of it."
