Where Next?
In which this will be a rambling post with little to no structure where I will just get some thoughts out. Not like most of my posts aren’t like this already. Anyway, I’ve spent the past few days relaxing at Thailand’s southern beaches, which is quite a nice change of atmosphere from Bangkok. Above is […]

Short Story: Valiant Undertakings
New short story! This short story was originally written or an English assignment, so it’s a bit on the short side. It’s a return to the more ‘political-thriller’ side of me. Enjoy!

As Protests Continue, Thaksin’s Power Erodes
‘I came from elections’, ‘the majority chose me’; these are some of the favorite catchphrases of Yingluck Shinawatra.

Towards Reform: Thailand’s Protests
The antigovernment protests in Thailand are massive, by any standard. It’s hard to find a protest in any other country that would equal Thailand’s current round of protests in terms of numbers. The car-filled streets of Bangkok are a distant dream, because on a protest day, they’d be swelled with protesters , blowing their whistles […]
