Some lesser-known or small Chinese towns and cities — with a strong festive ambience during Chinese New Year — alongside Neo-Chinese style destinations, have experienced "wealth beyond measure" during the nine-day Spring Festival holiday. Both domestic and international tourists have shown a tendency to linger in these areas.在为期9天的春节假期期间，一些不太出名的小城镇以及新中式风格的旅游目的地迎来了"泼天富贵"。国内游客和外国游客都喜欢在这些地方多玩几天。This year's extended Spring Festival holiday, which began on Feb 15 and concluded on Monday, inspired widespread travel.今年春节假期从2月15日开始，到2月23日结束，激发了人们的出游热情。"It's really stunning looking down at the lantern show from the ancient city walls. I felt like I was traveling back in time," said Sha Anna as she marveled at a lantern show on Feb 17 in Datong, Shanxi province. The Beijing resident visited the picturesque ancient city with family.北京居民沙安娜（音译）2月17日与家人一起游览了山西省大同市的古城。她在欣赏灯会时感叹道："从古城墙上俯瞰灯会，真的很震撼。我感觉自己穿越回了古代。"The city rose to popularity after the release of the Chinese-developed video game Black Myth: Wukong in 2024, which features several game scenes closely related to ancient Buddhist culture and Taoism.大同在2024年国产游戏《黑神话：悟空》发售后火了，这款游戏的几个场景与古老的佛教和道教文化密切相关。She said a desire to experience the lively festive atmosphere of Chinese New Year that differed from Beijing, led her to plan a trip to Datong — a city that boasts a rich cultural heritage. "The food here is also very delicious, especially the knife-cut noodles. The city left us with memories of historical legacies and human touch, and we will come back next Spring Festival."沙安娜说，她想体验与北京不同的热闹新年气氛，于是计划去大同旅游。大同市拥有丰富的文化遗产。她说："这里的食物也非常美味，尤其是刀削面。这座城市给我们留下了历史遗产和人情味的记忆，明年春节我们还会来。"Lively discussions on Datong and many other niche but attractive towns and small cities circulated online during the Spring Festival holiday. Their distinctive celebration practices, flavorful cuisine and strong cultural heritage have generated interest from tourists looking for unique experiences.春节期间，大同和许多其他小众但具有吸引力的城镇在网上引发了热议。它们独特的庆祝方式、风味美食和深厚的文化底蕴吸引了寻求独特体验的游客。Data from travel portal Tuniu shows that the number of tourists to Baoting Li and Miao autonomous county in South China's Hainan province and Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefecture in Southwest China's Yunnan province increased twofold compared with the previous Spring Festival period, as these places enjoy distinctive and exotic ethnic cultures. Destinations such as Chao zhou in Guangdong province, Shang rao and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province have seen tourist numbers double year-on-year.旅游门户途牛网的数据显示，前往海南省保亭黎族苗族自治县和云南省德宏傣族景颇族自治州的游客数量比上一个春节增加了一倍，这些地方拥有独特而富有异域风情的民族文化。广东潮州、江西上饶和景德镇等目的地的游客数量同比翻了一番。Qunar, another online travel agency, noted strong enthusiasm among young people for Neo-Chinese style destinations — which blend contemporary and traditional Chinese cultures — during the holiday period. The agency reported that some history or novel-based theme parks like Millennium City Park and Wansui Mountain Wuxia City in Henan province were among the top destinations on their platform during the holiday.另一家在线旅游机构去哪儿网指出，假期期间，年轻人对新中式风格旅游目的地的热情很高。该机构报告称，河南的清明上河园和万岁山武侠城等一些历史或小说主题公园是假期期间其平台上最受欢迎的目的地之一。The extended holiday also stimulated Chinese people's desire for long-distance overseas trips. According to Qunar, between Feb 15 and Monday, its users flew to nearly 1,000 cities worldwide. The most popular overseas destinations were those with shorter flight times, friendly visa policies and milder climates, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.这个长假也刺激了中国人出国长途旅行的欲望。根据去哪儿网的数据，2月15日至23日期间，去哪儿网的用户飞往全球近1000个城市。最受欢迎的海外目的地是飞行时间较短、签证政策友好、气候温和的地方，包括曼谷、吉隆坡和香港。Among the travelers who went overseas was Zhang Yi, who took a four-day trip to Thailand with her family and returned to Shanghai on Sunday. "It was our third time visiting the country, but the first time celebrating Chinese New Year there. Thailand is a good place to relax," she said.张怡（音译）是出境游的游客之一，她与家人去泰国玩了四天，于周日返回上海。她说："这是我们第三次去泰国，但第一次在那里庆祝中国新年。泰国是个放松身心的好地方。"Qunar also noted that many of its users spent the Spring Festival holiday in Italy, the host nation of the recently concluded Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. "Based on our figures, flight ticket bookings to Italy on Feb 14 and Feb 15 — the day before the Spring Festival holiday started and the first day of the holiday — increased by 64 percent compared with the previous two days," it said.去哪儿网还指出，许多用户选择在意大利度过春节假期。意大利是最近结束的2026年米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会的主办国。该机构表示："根据我们的数据，2月14日和2月15日前往意大利的机票预订量与前两天相比增长了64%。"Additionally, the social media trend "becoming Chinese" has extended to the tourism market, with an increasing number of international travelers visiting the mainland during the Spring Festival holiday to partake in festivities. In 2024, Spring Festival was officially inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, enhancing its global influence.此外，社交媒体上"成为中国人"的热潮也延伸到了旅游市场，越来越多的外国游客在春节期间来内地旅游。2024年春节被列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，提升了其在全球的影响力。Data from Qunar shows that flight bookings to the mainland made by travelers holding non-Chinese passports grew by 20 percent year-on-year during the holiday.去哪儿网的数据显示，春节期间，持非中国护照的旅客赴内地机票预订量同比增长20%。Top destinations for these international travelers included not just big cities like Shanghai and Beijing but also lesser-known places like Jinggangshan in Jiangxi and Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.这些国际游客的主要目的地不仅包括上海、北京这样的大城市，还包括江西井冈山、新疆维吾尔自治区阿勒泰等不太知名的地方。"Most of these travelers came from South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, and the United States. Domestic places with richer festive atmospheres and celebration events are most attractive to them," said Qunar, adding that travel trends among international travelers have transformed from quick sightseeing excursions to immersive experiences of Chinese traditions.去哪儿网表示："这些游客大多来自韩国、越南、新加坡、澳大利亚和美国。节日氛围和庆祝活动更丰富的国内地方对他们最有吸引力。"该机构指出，国际游客的旅游趋势已从快速观光游览转变为沉浸式体验中国传统。niche /niːʃ/ 小众的；定位明确的festive ambience /ˈfestɪv ˈæmbiəns/ 节日气氛linger in /ˈlɪŋɡə(r) ɪn/ 在……逗留；流连于picturesque /ˌpɪktʃəˈresk/ 风景如画的rise to popularity /raɪz tuː ˌpɒpjuˈlærəti/ 流行起来；走红human touch /ˈhjuːmən tʌtʃ/ 人情味year-on-year /ˌjɜːr ɒn ˈjɪr/ 同比Millennium City Park /mɪˈleniəm ˈsɪti pɑːk/ 清明上河园sightseeing excursions /ˈsaɪtsiːɪŋ ɪkˈskɜːʃənz/ 观光游览；短途旅游

Im März 1976 setzt die kanadische Progressive-Rock-Band Rush alles auf eine Karte. Ihr viertes Studioalbum "2112" entsteht unter existentiellem Druck und wird zum Wendepunkt ihrer Geschichte. "2112" war die aller letzte Chance für Rush. Ihre beiden vorherigen Alben Caress Of Steel und Fly By Night blieben hinter den Erwartungen zurück und brachten die Band in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, auch weil ihre komplexen Progressive-Rock-Songs kaum im Radio gespielt wurden. Eigentlich wollte ihr Label Mercury Records sie schon fallen lassen. Rush-Manager Ray Daniels schaffte es aber zum Glück, das Label mit einer kleinen Notlüge von einem weiteren Versuch zu überzeugen. Daniels schwärmte von den Ideen für "2112" , obwohl er die Musik noch gar nicht gehört hatte. Bei "2112" vertrauten Rush ganz auf ihre Intuition und kreative Freiheit und verweigerten sich bewusst den Vorgaben ihres Labels. Dieser letzte Alles-oder-nichts-Versuch ging auf und wurde zum Beweis dafür, wie weit man kommt, wenn man dem eigenen Bauchgefühl folgt. Die A-Seite des Albums erzählt eine epische Science-Fiction-Geschichte über den Widerstand des Einzelnen gegen ein übermächtiges Kollektiv. Dieses Thema passt perfekt zur Bandgeschichte, denn auch Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson und Neil Peart galten als drei Individualisten, die erst zusammen eine einzigartige Einheit bildeten und sich bewusst gegen die kommerziellen Vorgaben der Plattenindustrie stellten. Vertont wurde die Geschichte in Form der siebenteiligen Suite "2112". Sie entwirft eine totalitäre Zukunft, in der ein Kollektiv aus Priestern und riesigen Computern die Macht übernommen hat. Als der namenlose Held der Geschichte eine Gitarre entdeckt, stellt er sich mit Musik, Kreativität und Individualität gegen das System. Der Konflikt gipfelt schließlich in einem epischen Finale – im Stück "Grand Final". Meilensteine-Redakteur Stephan Fahrig sieht in "2112" den Grundstein für den typischen Rush-Sound. Das Progressive-Rock-Album vereint viele ihrer Markenzeichen, von schnellen Taktwechseln über klar zugeordnete musikalische Motive bis zu komplexen, präzisen gespielten Arrangements. Gitarrist Alex Lifeson liefert die rhythmischen Elemente des Heldenmotivs, während die Priester durch markante Tom-Rolls im Schlagzeug gekennzeichnet sind. Gekrönt wird das Ganze vom unverwechselbaren und treffsicheren Gesang von Geddy Lee. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "2112" sprechen wir im Podcast (12:30) – "Overture"(15:13) – "The Temples of Syrinx"(17:19) – "Discovery"(18:35) – "Presentation"(20:10) – "Oracle: The Dream"(21:25) – "Soliloquy"(22:00) – "Grand Final"(46:27) – "Something for Nothing(48:08) – "A Passage to Bangkok" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "2112" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/rush2112 __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

This is an encore presentation of a program originally aired in November of 2024.  In this program, two novelists who've created visions of a future after significant climate change...talk about whether their fiction can help shape reality.  Across his life, Richard Powers has been driven by an insatiable curiosity for humans and the world around us. This has led him from budding scientist to award-winning author, from Bangkok to the Netherlands, and has helped him win a Pulitzer Prize and a Macarthur Genius Grant. Powers is best known for his novels, including The Gold Bug Variations, named a Time Book of the Year, The Echo Maker, which received a National Book Award, and The Overstory, which received a Pulitzer Prize. Powers' fourteenth novel, Playground delves into the lives of artists, scientists, and teachers who choose to start seastedding - living on floating cities. On October 30, 2024, Richard Powers came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an onstage conversation with fellow novelist Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future.

VOV1 - Giữa nhịp sống hối hả của Bangkok, có một cô giáo trẻ người Thái vẫn miệt mài dành cho tiếng Việt một tình yêu thật lạ. Đó là Chari Hamratanaphon hay còn được gọi với tên tiếng Việt là Linh Chi.Yêu tiếng Việt từ những câu chuyện cổHành trình 11 năm gắn bó với tiếng Việt của Linh Chi không bắt đầu từ những lý thuyết khô khan, mà từ sự nồng hậu của con người và sức hút từ những câu chuyện cổ."Cô giáo Montira kể cho em nghe rất là nhiều truyền thuyết Việt Nam rất là hay.

Em đọc đi đọc lại nên em cảm thấy là em muốn học tiếp và tìm hiểu sâu hơn."Từ những trang sách, Linh Chi đã tìm đến Việt Nam để thực sự "chạm" vào văn hóa.

VOV1 - Bắt đầu từ ngày 20/06, hành khách quốc tế khởi hành từ các cửa ngõ hàng không trọng điểm của Thái Lan sẽ phải chi trả mức phí dịch vụ tăng vọt. Đây là một phần trong chiến lược tái cấu trúc tài chính và nâng cấp hạ tầng quy mô lớn của Tổng công ty Sân bay Thái Lan (AOT).Theo thông báo mới nhất, mức phí dịch vụ hành khách quốc tế sẽ được điều chỉnh từ 730 Baht lên 1.120 Baht/người (39 USD/người), tương ứng mức tăng 53%. Quyết định này được áp dụng đồng bộ tại 6 sân bay chủ chốt thuộc quyền quản lý của AOT bao gồm: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Hat Yai, Chiang Mai và Chiang Rai. Trong khi đó, phí dành cho hành khách nội địa vẫn được giữ nguyên ở mức 130 Baht (4,2 USD).Đại diện AOT, bà Paweena Jariyathitipong, cho biết lộ trình tăng phí này đã được Hội đồng Hàng không Dân dụng phê duyệt từ cuối năm 2025. Dự kiến, việc điều chỉnh sẽ mang về thêm khoảng 13 tỷ Baht doanh thu trong năm tài chính 2027. Nguồn vốn này được ấn định làm vốn đầu tư cho các dự án hạ tầng chiến lược, tiêu biểu là Nhà ga phía Nam tại sân bay Suvarnabhumi với tổng giá trị hơn 200 tỷ Baht (6,5 triệu USD), nhằm hiện đại hóa cấu trúc chi phí và giảm sự phụ thuộc vào các khoản vay nợ.Mặc dù AOT khẳng định việc tăng phí là cần thiết để củng cố khả năng tài chính, nhưng quyết định này đang vấp phải nhiều hoài nghi về tính tương quan giữa giá thành và chất lượng dịch vụ. Sau khi điều chỉnh, mức phí tại sân bay Suvarnabhumi sẽ cao hơn đáng kể so với các "hub" hàng không hàng đầu thế giới như Tokyo Haneda (600 Baht), Hong Kong (800 Baht) hay Seoul Incheon (370 Baht). Điều đáng nói là sân bay Suvarnabhumi hiện chỉ xếp thứ 39 trên bảng xếp hạng sân bay toàn cầu của Skytrax, thấp hơn so với các sân bay lớn nêu trên.Bên cạnh đó, các chuyên gia phân tích cảnh báo mức tăng phí dịch vụ hành khách (Passenger Service Charge – PSC) sẽ trực tiếp đẩy giá vé của các chặng bay giá rẻ lên thêm 7-10%. Điều này làm dấy lên lo ngại Thái Lan có thể mất dần lợi thế cạnh tranh về giá so với các điểm đến lân cận trong khu vực./.VOV Thái LanSân bay quốc tế Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok, Thái Lan. Ảnh: Ngọc Diệp

Karan Gokani is one of London hospitality's great shape-shifters: a former corporate lawyer who walked away from the safe path, then built something with genuine soul. We meet him inside Hoppers' newest opening, a total reimagining of the old Lyle's space, and talk about what it feels like to inherit “hallowed walls” without being haunted by them. The result is not a tribute act. It's a new chapter, with a fresh personality, a different rhythm, and Karan's fingerprints all over it.This conversation is a masterclass in why his restaurants never feel like “branches” (a word he hates). Karan explains how each site has its own character, shaped by postcode, clientele and timing, while still sharing a common DNA. From Soho's starry-eyed early days to the evolution of the group into something closer to a family, he lays out what it actually takes to scale without turning sterile.We also get deep into the food and the thinking. Karan unpacks why he's gone harder on hyper-regional South Indian cooking, why “dosa isn't just a dosa”, and how research trips across India fed directly into new dishes you can only get at this opening. Expect stories from Mangalore to Chettinad to Chennai, plus the details that make it all feel lived-in: antiques carried back in luggage, a biryani with a deliberate spelling difference, and a menu built to guide you through discovery without turning into a high-street checklist.Finally, this is a proper behind-the-scenes look at modern restaurant craft: the “three-mile test”, the psychology of service, and why Karan thinks the lazy answer is simply pushing prices up. He talks about accessibility, kindness and value, the staffing reality post-Brexit, and the obsession with guest experience over ego. It ends with Bangkok as his ultimate food city, a dream of opening a pizza concept, and a Springsteen play-out that feels exactly right.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

Actor David Carradine, renowned for Kung Fu and Kill Bill, died at 72 in a Bangkok hotel on June 4, 2009, under bizarre circumstances. Found naked in a closet with cords tied around his neck and genitals, police suspected accidental death by autoerotic asphyxiation rather than suicide. Key details surrounding his life and death include:The Incident: Carradine was found by a hotel maid in the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, hanging in a closet with curtains.Cause of Death: While initially reported as a potential suicide, forensic experts and police indicated the death was likely an accidental result of dangerous sexual practices.Controversy: There were no signs of a struggle in the room, but the peculiar, bound nature of the body led to widespread speculation and tabloid coverage.Final Days: Witnesses reported that Carradine appeared to be in good spirits, playing piano in the hotel lobby just days before his death while in Thailand to film the movie Stretch.Unusual Life: Known for a tumultuous personal life, he had previously spoken about his struggles with suicidal thoughts and had a history of erratic behavior, including a 1974 incident where he was arrested for breaking into a neighbor's home while naked.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Today we will talk about several major stories making headlines across Thailand and the region — including a Thai man who died in police detention after his arrest for assault, a series of controversial incidents involving foreign tourists in Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya, and the arrest of four Myanmar nationals over the fatal attack of an American man in Bangkok. We'll also look at Indonesia's US$7.62 billion Ramadan stimulus package and whether it can truly boost economic growth.

This episode of PING features two members of the Thai academic and research community and was recorded last year at IETF 122 in Bangkok. With a population of more than 70 million, Thailand has around 80 publicly funded universities and a further 70 or more private institutions, and undertakes substantial research in telecommunications and computing. A leading example is the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), which has run the AINTEC conference across the Asia Pacific. Both of our guests on this episode are associated with AINTEC. First, we hear from Sukumal Kitisin of Kasetsart University, a state-funded institution. She has been working on an Internet measurement programme for the Thai Consumer Council (TCC). The project leverages well-known tools such as Ookla Speedtest and OpenSignal to capture end-user experiences of mobile Internet services in Thailand. These measurements support modelling of broadband speeds and service quality, which the TCC can then use to present consumer evidence to the national telecommunications regulator, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). While we are often accustomed to discussing measurement using Atlas probes and other ‘insider' approaches, this work represents a consumer-friendly, simple, and defensible method for capturing the lived experience of real-world users. Secondly, we hear from Adisorn Lertsinsrubtavee, Director of the Internet Education and Research Laboratory (InterLab) at AIT. Adisorn describes a decade-long measurement effort known as HAZEMON, which focuses on low-bandwidth Internet of Things (IoT) devices used to measure suspended particulate matter such as smoke and fumes from diesel and charcoal fires, as well as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Thailand sits at the heart of a South East Asian climate system that is heavily affected by forest fires and persistent smog, with serious health implications. PM2.5 particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause lasting respiratory and other health problems as they are absorbed into the body. Monitoring these levels enables the project to model pollutant density, identify significant events such as forest fires, and support on-the-ground responses by firefighting teams and health professionals. The measurwement system uses small, low-energy computing platforms with off-the-shelf particulate sensors, integrated with low-bandwidth radio systems and powered by solar or battery sources where mains electricity is unavailable. These units are deployed across forests and urban areas, with data federated back to AIT for analysis.

Bienvenue dans Grand reportage, le supplément du samedi pour retrouver deux reportages diffusés cette semaine. Direction le Nigeria, le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique, 220 millions d'habitants, régulièrement sur le devant de l'actualité en raison des violences qui opposent différentes communautés... En 2è partie, la boxe thaï qui trouve des adeptes dans plus d'un pays. Dans son berceau thaïlandais, c'est toute une histoire, toute une culture et les femmes montent maintenant sur le ring. Nigeria : quand l'insécurité devient une affaire américaine Nigeria, dans le nord-ouest, dans la nuit du 25 décembre 2025. Des missiles américains, tirés depuis le golfe de Guinée, frappent par surprise les régions de Sokoto et de Kwara. Les cibles sont mal définies. Des députés américains – relayés par Donald Trump - dénoncent depuis des mois de prétendus « massacres », voire un « génocide » des chrétiens du Nigeria. Sur le terrain, la situation est pourtant beaucoup plus complexe – alors que musulmans et chrétiens subissent au quotidien la violence des groupes armés. Liza Fabbian, envoyée spéciale de RFI, s'est rendue dans l'État de Kaduna, touché comme tant d'autres, par ces troubles endémiques... Un Grand reportage de Liza Fabbian qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Boxe thaï : les femmes à la conquête du ring  « Femmes, ne touchez pas le ring s'il vous plaît »… cette inscription a longtemps figuré devant les cordes du ring d'un des plus grands stades de Bangkok. La boxe thaï, art ancestral thaïlandais, sport de combat, existe depuis des siècles au Royaume de Siam. Elle a très longtemps été réservée aux hommes. Mais, depuis quelques années, les femmes sont de plus en plus nombreuses à se faire une place dans cet art martial qui est aussi une industrie lucrative. Parfois même, de jeunes enfants sont embrigadés. Ce qui soulève bien des interrogations alors que Nations unies et associations alertent sur le danger de cette pratique… Un Grand reportage de Juliette Chaignon qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

GSP In the Mix: Live @ WPBKK (Bangkok)

The trip that Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly took to Thailand was emblematic of the troubling, blurred lines between official duties and personal indulgence that marked Andrew's association with Epstein and Maxwell. According to multiple published accounts, the excursion was ostensibly part of Andrew's role as a trade envoy or a royal visit, but reports claim that it quickly devolved into a series of highly inappropriate activities far removed from any diplomatic mission. One biographer asserts that during the stay in Bangkok, Andrew arranged for dozens of women to be brought to his luxury hotel over several days—ostensibly under the cover of his official duties and at public expense—raising serious ethical and reputational questions about how he used his position and resources for private gratification rather than state business. These accounts, though contested and not part of official legal records, fit into a broader pattern of behavior that has dogged Andrew's public life with scandal and suspicion.Beyond the sensational claims of the Thailand trip itself, the involvement of Epstein and Maxwell highlights how Andrew's friendships with these figures repeatedly drew him into morally and legally fraught situations. Epstein and Maxwell were central figures in trafficking networks that exploited vulnerable young women, and their presence alongside Andrew on trips and at social events underscores the degree to which he tolerated or embraced company that should have been avoided. Even as Epstein's criminality became widely known, Andrew maintained contact with him and continued to socialize in ways that blurred accountability and oversight, culminating in diplomatic embarrassment, public outrage, and legal scrutiny years later. The Thailand episode is thus not an isolated scandal but part of a pattern of reckless behavior and poor judgment that has had lasting consequences for Andrew's reputation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Can reaching Thailand be the key to reaching all of Southeast Asia? In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex sits down with ABWE missionary Benjamin Collins to discuss gospel work in Thailand, a nation with long-standing missionary access yet less than one percent Christian. Ben shares about his role supporting church planters across the country and explains why Thailand remains a crucial missions field where evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development are all urgently needed. The conversation highlights the importance of long-term missions, language learning, and cultural understanding, as well as the growing collaboration among Thai churches to reach their nation together. Ben also reflects on ministry among at-risk communities in Bangkok, the hope he sees in emerging Thai leaders, and Thailand's strategic role as a hub for reaching Southeast Asia with the gospel. Key Topics Thailand's spiritual landscape and the state of the church Church planting and gospel collaboration across denominations Ministry among at-risk children and marginalized communities Contextualizing the gospel in shame- and fear-based cultures Thailand as a strategic hub for reaching Southeast Asia Do you love The Missions Show?

Last week, we hosted an unforgettable night high above the city at Octave Rooftop, bringing together some of Bangkok's most popular creators for an evening of skyline views, great music, and even better conversations. In this video, you'll get a look at the event along with some candid interviews from our special guests.

Japan's first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, is projected to win in the snap election, while in Thailand a party calling for liberal change is challenging for power again. We report live from Tokyo and Bangkok. Also in the programme: a Russian soldier who fought in Ukraine, fled to Kazakhstan and now faces possible deportation back to Russia, tells us why he deserted; the chief executive of The Washington Post steps down after sacking 300 journalists; and sixty years after the Monkees were formed to rival the Beatles, we hear from the last surviving member, Micky Dolenz.(IMAGE: TV staff gesture in the direction of the cameras as Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), gives an interview at the LDP headquarters on general election day in Tokyo, Japan, February 8, 2026 / CREDIT: Kim Kyung-Hoon/POOL/EPA/Shutterstock (16528062x))

Aik Chuan (A.C.) Goh, Founder of Singapore's first traditional search fund, joins Jeremy Au to unpack how operators evolve from startup builders into long-term business stewards. They explore lessons from Uber's Southeast Asia expansion, why localization determines platform winners, and how consulting shaped A.C.'s decision-making framework. The conversation covers the limits of venture capital in personalized industries like education, the hidden succession crisis inside Singapore SMEs, and how search funds bridge retiring founders with new leadership. Aik Chuan also shares why disciplined capital structures matter, how growth still exists in mature markets, and why conviction requires respecting experience without surrendering belief in your thesis. 07:00 Uber proved that small autonomous teams can build cities: Three strong generalists with a mission can launch operations faster than large centralized structures. 10:30 Uber lost Indonesia because localization came too late: Missing cash payments and motorcycles allowed competitors to lock in the market. 11:45 Regional winners depend on profit hub cities: Control of Singapore, KL, Bangkok, and Jakarta determines who funds expansion. 19:32 Consulting builds structured decision discipline: Senior leaders iterate assumptions just like junior consultants, only faster. 29:53 Venture capital struggles in personalized education: Edtech exposed the limits of scale when every student needs different content. 34:22 Search funds solve SME succession gaps: Retiring founders need both liquidity and leadership, which the model combines. 53:15 Conviction requires reframing criticism: Aik Chuan learns to respect experience while still backing his thesis.

Le 8 février, plus de 50 millions de Thaïlandais sont appelés à voter à la fois pour renouveler leur Parlement et pour dire oui ou non à une révision de la Constitution de 2017, rédigée sous la junte militaire issue du coup d'État de 2014. Le référendum est jugé crucial par l'ONG de défense des droits civiques iLaw, qui a choisi une méthode de campagne originale : sensibiliser les électeurs à travers des événements autour de la course à pied, une activité en plein essor dans le royaume. De notre correspondant à Bangkok, « Pour une nouvelle Constitution, et pour faire avancer le pays — votez oui ! », scande la foule. « Allez, mettez-vous en place, le départ de la course va être donné ! », lance un organisateur de l'événement. Ils sont une cinquantaine, ce soir-là, à courir dans le célèbre parc Lumpini, en plein cœur de Bangkok. Pas un simple footing collectif : ces joggeurs, comme ce jeune homme à bout de souffle, participent à une opération de sensibilisation au référendum constitutionnel, organisé le même jour que les élections du 8 février. « Je suis là parce que je veux un nouvel avenir pour la Thaïlande », lâche ce jeune joggeur. « J'ai deux enfants : j'ai envie que ce pays soit stable pour leur avenir » Jan, 23 ans, porte un t-shirt appelant à voter « oui » au changement de Constitution : « Je soutiens cette campagne à 100 %, car l'actuelle Constitution de 2017 a été écrite par le régime militaire, et certains articles freinent la démocratie. » Coureur régulier, Pap espère lui aussi une réécriture de la Constitution pour les générations futures : « Il en faut une nouvelle pour plus de transparence et pour réduire, je l'espère, la corruption. J'ai deux enfants : j'ai envie que ce pays soit stable pour leur avenir. Je suis plutôt confiant, même ma mère m'a dit qu'elle voterait "oui" pour ses petits-enfants. » Depuis le début de l'année, des courses se déroulent chaque semaine dans les grands parcs de la capitale, mais aussi dans d'autres provinces, pour mobiliser les électeurs autour du scrutin. C'est l'ONG de défense des droits civiques iLaw, dont Jib fait partie, qui est à la manœuvre : « En ce moment, la génération Z et beaucoup de gens prennent soin de leur santé, il y a de nombreux clubs de course. On voulait en profiter pour sensibiliser au scrutin. La dernière fois, ça a vraiment dépassé nos attentes : on ne s'attendait pas à voir autant de monde. » Un référendum constitutionnel plus important que les élections Des élus de l'opposition, des personnalités publiques et des artistes ont rejoint le camp du « oui », lors de ces courses souvent prolongées par des débats ou des concerts. À Benjasiri, un autre parc de la capitale, John Winyu, présentateur d'une émission de satire politique suivie par plusieurs millions de personnes sur les réseaux sociaux, n'a pas couru, mais il est venu apporter son soutien : « Les gens veulent un nouvel espoir. Ils attendent de ces élections un gouvernement qu'ils auront choisi, et bien sûr, espèrent se débarrasser de cette Constitution. »  Après deux tours de parc, Yingcheep Atchanont, directeur de iLaw, rappelle à quel point le référendum constitutionnel est crucial : « Pour nous, ce référendum est plus important que les élections. Quel que soit le vainqueur, gouverner avec cette Constitution restera très compliqué, car elle a été pensée pour réprimer n'importe quel gouvernement élu qui entend mener des réformes structurelles. » Selon lui, un « non » maintiendrait la Thaïlande dans ce cycle d'instabilité politique pour des décennies encore.

Jameela welcomes Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover, SNAFU podcast) and Brian Huskey (Veep, Bob's Burgers, Community) for a masterclass in public humiliation, bodily betrayal, and the art of staying professional while everything is actively going wrong.Ed shares about his resting plane face, then revisits an Office scene that turned into a sealed-car panic situation. From there, things escalate in Bangkok, where one innocent street food decision leads to him shirtless on a red-light-district sidewalk between takes, being fed Sprite through a straw by Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis.Meanwhile, Brian's commitment to “the bit” reaches medically concerning levels, as a flirtation story becomes a full fainting incident that nobody recognises as a real emergency. Add in digestive disasters, professional embarrassment, and the delicate balance between dignity and dehydration, and you've got another episode of Wrong Turns doing exactly what it says on the tin. No lessons. No recovery arc. Just three people trying to survive their own bodies in public.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.Listen to Wrong Turns on Amazon Music or wherever you find your podcasts.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome back Bill, creator of Ritzy Travel Guide. I became familiar with Ritzy Travel Guide during my aimless browsing of YouTube cruise channels. I noticed I would stop on Ritzy Travel Guide because the videos were not only rich in production value but also rich with information. I knew I had to invite Ritzy Travel Guide on The Joy of Cruising Podcast. Bill shared an amazing cruise and land-based travel journey with his wife, Ms. Ritzy EP 167 We are glad to have Bill back to catch us up on what they have been up to since we last spoke. Scheduled to start just a week after our previous Ritzy Travel Guide a 6-week Asian trip, including jungle touring in Thailand, staying at a train-themed hotel in the deep jungle, feeding elephants breakfast from a tree-top canopy, staying in a bamboo eco resort on stilts over the water, and taking an overnight sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Of course, we first want to hear about that.Do you have a dream car?
