Chalongphob a pro-market academic for a reeling economy
In recent memory, we have had a marketer (Dr Somkid Jatusripitak), a career bureaucrat (Suchart Jaovisidha), a banker (Dr Thanong Bidaya) and another banker (MR Pridiyathorn Devakula) serving as finance minister. Now it is the turn of a pure academic, Chalongphob Sussangkarn, to take on the finance portfolio.

'Nation' bloggers having a field day commenting on the iTV saga
Humour, stinging sarcasm, strong emotions, as well as some great creativity - you name it; if the blogging culture is still in its infancy in Thailand, the iTV controversy has provided a real spark and could signal a milestone for the future of online journalism and user-generated media content.

Prizes, not patents, needed in medical research
Part of modern medicine's success is built on new drugs, in which pharmaceutical companies invest billions of dollars on research. The companies can recover their expenses thanks to patents, which give them a temporary monopoly and thus allow them to charge prices well above the cost of producing the drugs. We cannot expect innovation without paying for it.
