Are friendships with exes a bad idea or a sign of growing up? Journalists Olivia Petter and comedian Rosie Wilby join Nuala McGovern to explore how relationships with ex-partners evolve after a breakup, and why staying in touch can look different in straight and LGBTQ+ communities.Global Leaders for Ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV) dedicated to preventing violence against women and girls have come together to form the All In Coalition. This new group is made up of global leaders and survivor advocates including Harriet Harman, the UK's Special Envoy for Women and Girls, and Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement. We hear from Dr Emma Fulu, who set this up, and Sima Samar, former Minister for Women's Affairs in Afghanistan.There is new data out today from the charity Surviving Economic Abuse which reveals that 27% of mothers (with children under the age of 18) have experienced economic abuse in the past year.

On this episode - a classic ReCast from season 3! - Greg interviews Khun Saba, a disabled rights activist in Bangkok. It's a topic near and dear to the Bangkok Podcast, because we want everyone to enjoy Bangkok, which is very hard to do if you don't have full mobility. Khun Saba explains that he became aware of the difficulty of moving around Thai cities, especially Bangkok, after he became disabled, and notes that while physical and structural issues are important, the key issue is really awareness. Simply put, if people blindly accept all the problems with transportation in Bangkok, then of course they will never be solved.  Greg asks Khun Saba about a notorious incident in which he broke a pane of glass when he couldn't use the elevator at Asoke BTS Station. The circumstances were unusual and need to be fully listened to to be understood, but the incident highlights the daily frustration of disabled people in Bangkok.  Khun Saba also makes clear that his organization fights for the rights of all Bangkokians to safe and convenient access to transportation in the city and not just the rights of people who are actually physically disabled. He describes his dream of making Bangkok a city of truly international standards where all citizens are equal in terms of their access to the city. We urge you to like the page of Accessibility is Freedom - you'll get some great insight into Bangkok from a whole different point of view. As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Today we'll be talking about the ever-worsening air quality of Bangkok as smog season begins, a foreign woman and Hat Yai residents caught stealing strange things, and a little later a bizarre case of an alleged squatter and her conspiracy claims against the homeowner.

Next year we've got three big trips on the docket - Thailand, Scotland/ London, and Switzerland/Italy. By mixing cash fares, smart point redemptions, and repositioning, we share the exact math behind paying cash to Asia, and two goals to keep travel calmer and on budget.• booking strategy for a family of five using points, cash, and portals• why one‑cent redemptions lost to Amex travel offers and 5x earning• routing choices to access lounges and smoother layovers• Thailand plan with Phuket, Koh Samui, and Bangkok as bases• London and Edinburgh logistics for seven travelers• chasing return award space after routes vanish• Aeroplan business class to Zurich and Boston repositioning• hotel approaches in Zurich, Lake Como, and Italy• domestic add‑ons to Oceanside and Disneyland with Hyatt certs• budget tracking on trips to curb overspend• ADHD medication updates improving family travel dynamicsI think I'm like very close to a thousand followers on Instagram.

The lights were brighter, the stages were bigger, and yet the action felt thinner. We unpack a Grand Prix season that looked like a spectacle and too often fought like a glorified open, asking the question nobody wants to: who should actually be on these mats? When five-per-country invites meet a relentless calendar, you get watered-down brackets and athletes who can't peak, no matter how professional their camps are. We talk candidly about when elite athletes should sit, when prospects should chase reps, and why a world champion with nothing to prove still found herself cutting weight for zero upside.From Thailand's flat atmosphere to Waychamp's week-to-week personality shift, we dive into the mechanics that steer outcomes. Scoring felt stingy in China and suddenly hospitable in Bangkok; headgear recognition improved, but refereeing often disappeared, creating a rule vacuum where holding paid and punches didn't. Consistency shapes behavior, and right now the incentives are muddy. We also confront the explosive allegation of manipulated electronic socks—extra magnets, stronger pull, mismatched markings—and what it means for trust when technology can be gamed. If hardware decides points, hardware must be sacred, and consequences must be immediate.We challenge the logic of under-21 worlds as currently used. Development is essential, but it stops being development when seasoned senior medalists drop down to harvest hardware. Keep U21 as a proving ground and let seniors be seniors. On the U.S. front, we scrutinize selection procedures that close divisions while a global point reset looms, and argue for turning Pan Ams into a development lab when rankings won't carry over. Fund the pipeline, protect the podium, and read the calendar with courage. If Taekwondo wants sharper fights, clearer stakes, and real growth, it needs transparent rules, firm officiating, and smarter schedules—not just better graphics.Enjoy the episode? Follow, share with a teammate, and leave a review with your take: should under-21 worlds be a true development tier, and should Pan Ams be opened up when points reset? Your feedback shapes what we tackle next.

Attention : contenu réservé à un public averti. Le texte qui suit évoque des thématiques érotiques et des œuvres classées interdites aux moins de 16 ans. « Emmanuelle », un roman avant un film : Née en 1928 à Bangkok, Marayat Bibidh-Virajjakar grandit dans un milieu privilégié avant d'être envoyée en Angleterre et en Suisse, où la rigueur occidentale contrarie sa nature libre et sensuelle. De retour en Thaïlande, elle rencontre en 1948 le Français Louis-Jacques Rollet-Andriane, qu'elle épouse et avec qui elle forme un couple prônant l'amour libre, l'esthétique du corps et la quête du plaisir. Ensemble, ils imaginent un roman inspiré de leurs expériences : Emmanuelle, récit érotique élégant mêlant philosophie, sensualité et exotisme, que l'éditeur Eric Losfeld publie d'abord anonymement à Paris. Devenu un symbole de libération des mœurs, le livre rencontre un énorme succès et attire l'attention du cinéma. En 1974, Just Jaeckin réalise Emmanuelle, porté par Sylvia Kristel et une esthétique sophistiquée, créant un mythe international et l'un des plus grands triomphes du cinéma français. Mais Marayat, devenue Emmanuelle Arsan, rejette cette adaptation qu'elle juge trahie, loin de son message d'émancipation féminine. Malgré les controverses et la censure, Emmanuelle reste une œuvre emblématique des bouleversements culturels et sexuels des années 60-70, inscrivant durablement son autrice et son héroïne dans l'imaginaire collectif.

Des inondations dévastatrices ont fait près de 1 000 morts et plusieurs centaines de disparus dans quatre pays d'Asie ces derniers jours. L'Indonésie, la Thaïlande, la Malaisie et le Sri Lanka sont confrontés à un scénario météo bien connu dans la région, mais porté à un niveau extrême. Les pluies, parfois diluviennes, transforment les rues et les plaines en rivières qui provoquent des débordements rapides et déclenchent des glissements de terrain. Entretien avec Marine Herrmann, océanographe physicienne à l'IRD en affectation à Bangkok.

On the International News Review... Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Bloomberg News Editor Joanna Ossinger to unpack the headlines dominating Asia. We begin in Hong Kong, where tragedy has struck with the death toll rising to over 130 after the devastating Tai Po fire. Officials now admit fire alarms were not working properly, raising urgent questions about safety standards and accountability. Next, we turn to Thailand, where “once in 300 years” rainfall has triggered catastrophic floods across Southeast Asia. Joanna explains the scale of the disaster and its implications for climate resilience in the region. Closer to home, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s remarks on the China-Japan spat over Taiwan have sparked a wave of online barbs and spin from Chinese netizens. We explore what this reaction reveals about regional sensitivities and Singapore’s longstanding diplomatic stance. And finally, a bizarre story from Bangkok: temple staff were stunned when a woman, believed dead, began moving inside her coffin moments before cremation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode #439: “The key human rights issue within Thailand and more broadly within the region is migration related,” says Ben Harkins, a veteran labor rights and migration expert who has spent over seventeen years working across Southeast Asia. From refugee camps to industrial zones, Harkins has witnessed how migration has become both a lifeline and a trap—an act of survival in systems built on exploitation. He began his career along the Thai-Myanmar border in the 2000s, where tens of thousands of Karen and other ethnic minorities lived in sprawling camps after fleeing conflict. “It's only been this year, in fact, that we've finally seen a major transition in refugee policy in Thailand,” he notes, referring to new measures allowing some refugees to legally work outside the camps for the first time. For Harkins, this small policy shift represents freedom long denied. Over the years, he has researched the migration that sustain Thailand's economy. “The flows from Myanmar are so complex,” he explains. “These are very heterogeneous flows of migrants.” His work with the International Labour Organization (ILO) has exposed forced labor, human trafficking, and modern slavery in sectors like fishing, manufacturing, and agriculture. When Myanmar's 2021 coup dismantled years of fragile progress, Harkins says it upended everything he had worked for. “Just overnight, my entire world was turned upside down, basically,” he recalls. Colleagues and partners he had collaborated with for years were suddenly arrested, in hiding, or silenced. The military junta publicly denounced his research in the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar, accusing him of spreading lies about labor conditions. “Migration itself has sort of become weaponized in many ways by the military junta,” he explains of the current reality, describing how the regime taxes overseas workers, manipulates remittances, and uses migration control to punish dissent. Now based in Bangkok, Harkins rejects claims that international businesses can operate responsibly under dictatorship. “You just can't have responsible business if you don't have fundamental labor rights for workers,” he insists. Despite everything, he continues his work with the ILO. “The least I can do is make use of the voice that I have within the UN system to try to support these principles of social justice as much as I can.”

Today, Jay covers major stories from across the country, including severe flooding in the South, cooler weather brought by Typhoon Koto, and Bangkok's unveiling of a proposed F1 street circuit.

Will Indonesia build a high-speed railway to Bali? Why Is 19 December a vital date in Vietnam? What is the 'Cosmic Turtle'? When will the first passengers touch down at Long Thanh Airport? And will Thailand's "Three Airports High-Speed Train" ever take to the tracks? This week, Gary welcomes back James Clark, Founder of the Future South East Asia newsletter, to discuss the politics, financing, construction and traveller benefits of 2025's biggest and boldest travel and transport mega-projects across the region. Some of these are newly announced, some are nearing completion, and others remain works in progress. All form part of South East Asia's ongoing infrastructure build-up to handle enlarged travel capacity in future. The journey takes us by narrow-body planes and bullet trains from North Bali to Phnom Penh, the Malaysia-Singapore border to Bac Ninh province in Vietnam and Bangkok to Borneo. And there's much more to watch out for in 2026!

Die Frist, die Donald Trump der Ukraine setzte, um den sogenannten «Friedensplan» zu unterschreiben, ist abgelaufen. Doch das Ultimatum gilt offenbar nicht mehr. Sind die derzeit etwas konfus anmutenden Ukraine-Verhandlungen chaotisch – oder Strategie? Antworten von Verhandlungsberaterin Nora Meier. Weitere Themen in dieser Sendung: · So viel Regen in einem Tag wie seit 300 Jahren nicht mehr – das geschah in der Stadt Hat Yai in Thailand. In ganz Südostasien regnete es tagelang. Es gab grosse Überschwemmungen, besonders in Vietnam, Indonesien und Malaysia sowie im Süden von Thailand. SRF-Südostasien-Korrespondent Martin Aldrovandi lebt in Bangkok und schildert die Situation im Süden des Landes. · Papst Leo XIV. bricht zu seiner ersten Auslandsreise auf. Sein erstes Ziel ist die Türkei. Doch gegen seinen Besuch regt sich Widerstand. Türkische nationalistische Kräften protestieren, weil sie die Papst-Visite als Versuch sehen, das Christentum auszuweiten. Aus der Türkei berichtet die freie Journalistin Susanne Güsten. · Hat die Forschung nun endlich die berüchtigte «Dunkle Materie» gefunden? Internationale Medien berichten von einem «Durchbruch». Hintergrund ist eine Studie aus Tokio. Doch auf den zweiten Blick ist Skepsis angebracht: Gemäss Wissenschaftsredaktor Sandro Della Torre liefert die Studie gar nicht viel Neues.

Live from Bangkok - 4 Mind-Blowing AI Use Cases from Our First MeetupWe're coming to you live from Bangkok after hosting our very first Create With AI meetup in Thailand - and it was absolutely incredible! The event sold out weeks in advance, and we got to see four amazing speakers showcase real-world AI applications they've built without traditional coding.In this episode, James joins from Bangkok while Kieran dials in from Norwich to break down everything that happened at the event and discuss the latest developments in AI and no-code tools.The 4 Bangkok Use Cases:1. Instagram AI Agent for E-commerce (Jake)An automated system built in Make that responds to Instagram comments with full product knowledge - inventory, pricing, store locations, all in brand voice. Game-changing for e-commerce customer service.2. Vacation Booking Platform (Stuart)A complete vacation booking system built with Claude Code that integrates with Airbnb's APIs. Stuart showed us how he's tapping into external platforms to create a full-featured booking dashboard.3. Medical Lab Dashboard (Natt)This one blew our minds.

 Dès l'enfance, Michel X. cherchait déjà une issue dans les livres, dans l'éther, dans la fuite. Puis il y a eu l'héroïne, la morphine, les substituts, une vie entière à se droguer sous contrôle et sous ordonnance.  Mais c'est l'amour, pas la came, qui l'a brisé.

For nearly 60 years, the Indian government has been fighting a violent group of Maoists in the country. They are followers of the late Chinese leader, Mao Zedong and have carried out bombings and killings in different parts of India. Now, the Indian authorities claim to be on the brink of defeating these insurgents and has said that they will be fully removed by March 2026. There is one group that has been attributed with the recent success against the Maoists, known as the DRG or District Reserve Guard. They are part of the police, with the sole purpose of defeating the Maoists. But although they have successfully reduced Maoist attacks in recent years, critics have questioned the use of force by the DRG. Jugal Purohit, who reports for the BBC in India, recently travelled to the frontline of this nearly 60 year war, to meet the DRG and the locals who have been affected by the violence.Rare access: Inside India's claims to eliminate Maoist insurgency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=848zVNZV7ssIn Thailand, for the past 154 years, people have come together for the annual Buffalo Racing Festival.

Episode #434: “I don't see how there could be a new social contract for a post-war, post-conflict Myanmar.” With this stark observation, Henning Glaser sets the tone for his analysis of the country's turmoil. Glaser is a German legal scholar based at Thammasat University in Bangkok, where he co-founded the German-Southeast Asian Center of Excellence for Public Policy and Good Governance. His work spans Asia, but Myanmar has become one of his deepest commitments. Since the early 2010s, he has organized dialogues and seminars on the country's political transition, and after the 2021 coup, his institute shifted to documenting and analyzing the descent into conflict. Glaser describes the future in bleak terms. The junta shows no sign of collapse, while the opposition remains fragmented. Ethnic armed groups pursue divergent roadmaps, preventing unity around a federal constitution. Glaser admires the energy of younger activists and local governance experiments, yet doubts these can form a coherent national framework. He cites Kurdistan in Iraq as a warning: local stability without broader resolution. Geopolitics, he stresses, makes matters worse. “It is inevitable that a primary focus on geopolitics is creating tension and border conflicts and wars. We see that everywhere,” he says. Myanmar, he argues, is reduced to a pawn in a larger contest between China, Russia, India, and an increasingly disengaged West. The result is proxy struggles that entrench the conflict. Organized crime further compounds the chaos. Scam centers, narcotics, arms smuggling, and trafficking create a criminal economy that fuels the war. “If you have this involvement of organized crime and an organized criminal economy, then you can sustain that for a very, very long time. And that is also why a long stalemate,” he warns. Glaser dismisses upcoming elections as hollow and recalls Myanmar's earlier transition as a “democratic façade with a military heart.” Despite his dark assessment, he ends by saluting the resilience of activists and diaspora communities, whose determination to master law and policy remains, in his view, remarkable. “I totally admire all the young people, middle-aged people, and older people in the diaspora who put incredible efforts to keep up and to gain legal knowledge, to draft laws, to understand how to translate policies into law, how to interpret laws. That is remarkable.”

Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch has been crowned Miss Universe at a ceremony in Bangkok, marking the end of an exceptionally scandal-filled pageant season. It's the 74th Miss Universe pageant and there was a lot of drama before a single contestant took to the stage.Early in November, Miss Mexico walked out of an event after she was told off by a Thai official and those who supported her were threatened with disqualification. Then in the days before the final, some judges resigned, one over claims the competition is rigged - which is of course denied by the Miss Universe Organisation.Social media has shown some of the drama behind the scenes… and at the centre of it is two of the men running the pageant. Nawat Itsaragrisil and Raúl Rocha Cantú have very different visions for the future of the pageant, which has been dealing with declining ratings and financial issues.William Lee Adams, host of Marketplace Morning Report, takes us through what's been going on behind the scenes, everything from finances to clashes over how it should be run.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Benita Barden, Chelsea Coates and Emily Horler Video producer: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde

Today we'll be talking about a tragic incident of a Thai woman's forced labor in a Cambodian scam center, an American tourist warning the world have a henna face tattoo goes awry in Bangkok, a Thai influencer facing backlash after a perceived disrespectful video filmed near Mount Fuji.

In part 1 of a two-part episode, Greg and Ed interview John Schachnovsky about his upcoming book "Beyond the Badge," which recounts his experience as the head of the FBI in Thailand. John starts out explaining his early career with the FBI and his subsequent move to Bangkok. Greg and Ed ask about the exact role of the FBI oversees and John explains in detail. First, as a branch of the U.S. government, the FBI has no legal jurisdiction in Thailand and must work directly with the Thai government for everything they do. Second, the FBI's role is entirely distinct from the CIA. The FBI does law enforcement, the CIA does intelligence gathering with a focus on American national security. That being said, the two agencies did and do share information when it supports their respective missions.  Next, the men focus on the reputation of the Royal Thai Police, which, to put it bluntly, is not good. John stresses that he found the RTP to be hardworking and professional overall, but admits that in some cases, the RTP had different ideas about what counts as 'corruption' and what does not. He emphasizes that, at least in his experience, the reputation is undeserved and he hopes to correct it in his book, which you can get here, or at Asia Books in Thailand. Tune in next week for Part 2 and a discussion of some of John's more famous cases.

One of my favourite outings in Bangkok last month was heading north to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic city of Ayutthaya for a day, together with my friend Vincie. Since we are both deeply into contemplating thoughtful travel - Vincie is the founder of RISE Travel Institute - we decided to record a chat about our experiences in Ayutthaya through a "thoughtful travel lens". We report the good and the bad and our conversation ranges from sustainabilty practices through tourist education and on to wildlife protection as well, and we also have a lot of fun reminiscing - so hope you enjoy this conversation too.

Greg and Ed discuss an article on Ajarn.com by Dr. Jesse Sessions called "What Does the Future Hold" which discusses some of the bigger problems currently facing Thailand and how they might impact the country's prosperity, competitiveness and social longevity. The guys walk through the issues one by one and give their take on its significance, The first issue is border security. Ed points out that Thailand actually has major security issues on the Burmese, Malaysian, and Cambodian borders, something that is easy to forget from the security of Bangkok. In fact several of the later issues tie in to this problem, including the major problems of government corruption and of scam centers in Cambodia and Burma, that implicate Thailand in international crime networks. Greg points out that these 'scam cities' are sometimes connected to the Thai power grid or Internet service and may also be trafficking victims through Bangkok. As a 'rule of law' guy, Ed emphasizes the importance of cleaning up these issues and ridding Southeast Asia of its Wild West image.  Another cluster of issues centers around the economy, such as the slower the expected recovery of the tourism sector after COVID and Thailand's perennial fixture in the 'middle income trap,' clearly surpassing Cambodia but somehow also managing to be miles away from South Korea and Japan. Check in for discussion of a bunch of other topics, including demographics, AI adoption, and environmental problems, and make sure to read the full article for a more thorough breakdown of each issue.
