My First Column Ever!

Posted by natee , Reader : 154 , 09:45:49 | Category : General Interest

I was just testing out the new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, which looks hopelessly difficult to use. Then, I got bored and tried Googling my name. What a trip down memory lane! I found my first ever column posted at http://www.thailandlife.com/thaiyouth_15.html . Some of the questions I posed 9 years ago seems to remain unanswered today. What do you think?Date: 7th July 2000, The Nation If ....

Democratic Party = Disillusionment

Posted by natee , Reader : 1456 , 21:08:28 | Category : General Interest

Christmas Day in England. What a lovely day to become disillusioned, yet AGAIN, by the Democratic Party. The self proclaimed 'gentle' people of Thai politics have failed their supporters yet again by acting like the stumbling, mumbling, and fumbling dinosaurs. Given the otherwise unlikely opportunity to rise from the dead by last year's coup, they have miserably failed to capitalise on the opportunit....

What do the EU and Victoria Beckham Have in Common?

Posted by natee , Reader : 1003 , 21:17:51 | Category : General Interest

To get straight to the point, the answer to what the European Union and Victoria Beckham have in common lies in the manner in which they both aspire to have their presence felt; their ability to do so through various conspicuous methods; and the use of the considerable assets they possess.

Thai Names, Thai-ness and the Necessity of Conservatism

Posted by natee , Reader : 1194 , 10:12:25 | Category : General Interest

I was once a very liberal Thai person, but as I grow older, I suddenly feel that there’s no need to be liberal, for Thais are liberal enough. This is why I find myself suddenly siding with people I once considered dinosaurs. Perhaps, wisdom does come with age and the so-called dinosaurs at the Culture Ministry might be wiser than we think, after all.Even after reading a brilliantly argued article on ....

Book Review: Trespasses by Padcha Tuntha-Obhas

Posted by natee , Reader : 1134 , 05:39:08 | Category : General Interest

Thailand is a lonely place to be a bilingual. We straddle the linguistic and cultural balance on a daily basis, often speaking in the same language as those who surround us, and while you understand our words, it is rarely a given that you will understand what we actually mean to say. This sense of loneliness drenches ‘trespasses’ written by young Thai author Padcha Tuntha-obas to the extent that you....
