    Oped, Published on 11/04/2024

    » The latest news on the rising popularity of "toy pods" -- as well as the Bangkok Post's editorial titled "Save children from toy pods" -- reminded me of commercial determinants of health (CDoH), a topic which was addressed at the Prince Mahidol Award Conference in January.

    Oped, Daniel Moss, Published on 11/04/2024

    Dealing with Myanmar

    Oped, Editorial, Published on 10/04/2024

    » As the civil war between Myanmar junta forces and ethnic rebel groups builds, Thailand will be a focal point for providing humanitarian support to large numbers of refugees expected to flee across the border.

    India needs more leaders like Manmohan Singh

    News, Mihir Sharma, Published on 10/04/2024

    » Almost 10 years after he gave way to Narendra Modi as prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh retired last week from public life.

    Oped, Published on 09/04/2024

    » Thailand has an incredible reputation for being LGBTQ-friendly, but its national laws and policies don't quite match the open-minded brand that its government projects. This dissonance -- what the UN called "tolerance but not inclusion" in a 2019 report -- is what the Thai parliament is on the brink of changing in a seismic decision to legalise same-sex marriage that will have a positive far-reaching impact on Thailand's economy for years to come (and hint: it's much more than the millions of dollars to be generated by the weddings themselves).
