» Under the unpredictable Bangkok sky in the late afternoon of last Saturday, I stopped by Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park) in Chatuchak district. Even though I haven't visited here for many years, while strolling around, I found this massive park still looks as beautiful as I remember. And despite the hazy skies and uncertainty of rain at any given time, I thought to myself that at least it's still better than being bored sitting on a couch watching a movie at home.

Is the media to blame?
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 20/12/2021
» Can you separate fantasy from reality? A lot of people know that the media has a desensitising effect on people, especially children and teens.

When I was younger I always wondered why people wouldn't be able to tell which story should stay in a movie or in our imagination, and which is reality. However, we still see more and more news of violence and regular crimes, which is a direct consequence of watching movies and various media.
