As more people move to the capital in search of opportunity, living spaces continue to shrink while daily life becomes increasingly rushed and compressed. Recognising this reality, VOXX BKK has launched a new campaign for Homerun Proptech, a condominium renovation specialist that transforms older, larger apartments into modern living spaces. The campaign is inspired by a growing issue in Thailand’s capital, where newly developed condominiums are becoming smaller each year. As urban residents adapt to increasingly limited space, cramped…

Why should I care? For markets: Bank Indonesia’s 0.25% surprise may support the rupiah, but the bond curve is the scoreboard. An off-cycle hike can steady a currency even when reserves are falling because it lifts short-term yields and widens the gap versus US…
History education helps to shape how students understand the past, but also shapes how they relate to others in the present. Textbooks and educational materials influence which groups are seen as victims, heroes, or perpetrators in contexts of war and conflict. In societies recovering from violence, the stories taught in classrooms can deepen divisions, or contribute to reconciliation and peacebuilding. For this reason, collaborative cross-border history education initiatives have gained increasing attention. In these projects, educators and historians from countries connected by conflict work together to develop teaching materials about their shared histories. Because historical events are often interpreted differently…
