» It's been a hectic year for local DJ and Zundrangma Records label owner Maft Sai.

Dai! (Finders Keepers, UK).

I am among those people, travelling to the area to make a bus change since my school days until now. But today is different. Instead of changing from one bus to another, people are now getting off from a bus or van to the more convenient BTS to get into the inner city.
The reality of rabies
Life, Published on 21/02/2012
» Summertime is the time when cases of dogs infected with rabies begin to escalate. However the term for rabies in Thai, which translates to "mad dog's disease", is somewhat misleading as other types of household pets are also prone to rabies, including cats, hamsters, squirrels and rabbits. And if unaware, owners can get the virus from their infected pets.

» With its bizarre appearance, the building housing the Nightingale-Olympic store in Phahurat shows its age. The out-of-date fashion on display in the windows and a lack of air-conditioning inside might scare some customers away, but do not judge this book by its cover.
