It was almost as if the country collectively said: Enough. The government had been too blatant and too forceful in its attempt to bring home former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and was willing to sell out too many principles and people to achieve this aim with a blanket amnesty bill.

Spectrum, Nattha Thepbamrung, Published on 10/11/2013
» Whenever the subject of political rallies in Thailand comes up, one of the key images in people's minds is sure to be that of Maj Gen Chamlong Srimuang. He has been a colourful player in Thai politics since his days as an army general when he formed the ''Young Turks'' faction loyal to Prem Tinsulanonda, who became prime minister in 1980.

Cooped up with chickens
Spectrum, Angus Mitchell, Published on 10/11/2013
» As the cost of living continues to rise, and eco-consciousness is beginning to bloom in the developed world, urban farming, whereby residents of cities are using free space on their property to build gardens and raise farm animals, is emerging as a trendy alternative to supermarkets.
