Dr Richard Harris rose to fame after he was involved in the rescue of 12 young footballers and their coach from a Thai cave in 2018. The Australian anesthetist helped with the delicate balance of sedating the boys so they could be extracted from where they were trapped inside the cave system. Now retired, Richard, fellow Thai cave rescuer Craig Challen, and their team are the subject of a documentary following them on a death-defying cave dive here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Deeper - from director Jennifer Peedom - is now screening on Netflix. The divers have been 2-hundred and 45 metres inside Kahurangi National Park's Pearse Resurgence, adapting technology to use hydrogen as a breathing gas and overcoming significant and life-threatening physical challenges. Richard told me he hadn't been prepared for the global response after the Thai rescue

Đúng lúc Tần Vương tưởng rằng mình đã thống nhất lục quốc, xưng bá thiên hạ, thì bất ngờ đối mặt với cuộc tập kích của Ken. Bất đắc dĩ, Tần Vương phải đi tìm vị sư phụ mà mình vừa kính trọng vừa e sợ là Hạng Thiếu Long để xin cứu viện. Sau hơn hai mươi năm xa cách, thầy trò cuối cùng cũng gặp lại.

Episode #483: “I particularly look from Marxist feminist perspectives,” says Ma Cheria, a Myanmar-born researcher now living in exile in Chiang Mai. Her work examines how capitalism and patriarchy combine to exploit Burmese migrant women in Thailand's informal economy. Before the 2021 military coup, she was a social worker involved in peace and gender programs and helped lead anti-coup strikes. After comrades were arrested, she fled to Thailand, continuing the struggle through research and activism. Cheria's studies reveal that over five million Myanmar migrants now live in Thailand, nearly two million without documents. Many work in “3D jobs”—dirty, dangerous, and demeaning—that Thai citizens refuse to do. Though formal factories must pay the minimum wage, most women end up in unregistered home-based factories where they can bring children and work flexible hours, but earn half the legal rate and lack safety or legal protection. “Workers know it is very unfair, but they cannot complain because they are undocumented,” she explains. Cheria traces these abuses to a malfunctioning migration system that forces workers to depend on brokers who extort money or seize passports. She links today's exile economy to Myanmar's crushed labor movement: once progressive and female-led, it was outlawed after the coup. In Thailand, migrants are legally allowed to join Thai-run unions but not to form their own—an empty right in border towns with no Thai workers. Her Marxist-feminist analysis highlights women's “double exploitation”: wage labor in factories and unpaid domestic labor at home. “In the revolution, we have to abolish both systems together,” she says of capitalism and patriarchy. From exile she teaches feminist and labor theory to ethnic women's groups online, believing that change grows through shared reflection. Despite repression and growing anti-migrant hostility, she documents quiet resilience in Burmese-run schools and clinics. Her message is clear: solidarity across borders is essential because “only a small group benefits, while the majority—the working class—remains unseen.

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.

This week on Kliq This, Kev and Sean go everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It starts with Bitcoin vs gold, market volatility, paper assets versus physical assets, and how fast trillions can disappear when the market sneezes. From there it turns into conspiracy theories, precious metals, and why trusting anything "on paper" might be the biggest gamble of all. Then Kev recaps a Milwaukee trip where he was treated like royalty… until housekeeping tried to kick him out of a literal tribal chief's suite. From hotel horror stories and privacy paranoia to room service etiquette, airline lounges, bidets, and the unspoken rules of using someone else's bathroom, this episode goes fully off the rails in the best way possible. On the wrestling side, the guys dig deep into modern booking philosophy, Gunther's heat, AJ Styles' future, and why some stars don't need titles to matter. There's real talk about WrestleMania main events, Roman vs Punk, Drew McIntyre's positioning, and how much "real" emotion still exists when two pros get nose to nose. Plus, insight you won't hear anywhere else about money, miles, and why leaving cash on the table is the ultimate sin. And yes… it all leads to a Mount Ashmore debate you didn't know you needed. Kev breaks down his picks for hottest female athletes across sports, explaining not just the looks, but the attitude, swagger, and athletic edge that makes them stand out. It's funny, unfiltered, wildly inappropriate at times, and exactly why Kliq This never sounds like any other wrestling podcast. Unpredictable, uncensored, and somehow still insightful.

In the United States, the housing crisis can feel like an unsolvable puzzle. We talk of housing as something we navigate alone — a commodity we rent or buy, subject to the whims of a volatile market.But in Thailand, they've pioneered a different model. A government program called Baan Mankong, or “secure housing,” treats shelter as a collective right — and proves that the U.S.'s individualist framework isn't the only way.As a Berkeley Ph.D. student in 2014, Hayden Shelby wanted to know if a similar strategy could work in the U.S. In order to decipher the complex policy, she enrolled in advanced Thai in the Department of Southeast Asian studies.Now a leading expert on the program in the U.S., Shelby says speaking Thai on the ground with experts and community members was invaluable.“People open up when they know you've made this really deep and difficult investment in learning their language,” she says. “It breaks down that expert/non-expert barrier.”In this episode of Berkeley Voices, we look at how acquiring a new language can shift our worldview, and what happens when we stop asking what we can do for other countries and start asking what we can learn from them.This is the fourth episode of our latest season, featuring UC Berkeley scholars working on life-changing research — and the people whose lives are changed by it.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Hayden Shelby.

Episode #480: Michael Santi Keezing, a former Thai Forest monk, describes himself as both a Buddhist and a “post-Buddhist,” shaped by a lifelong effort to understand the mind, culture, and the limits of spiritual practice for someone raised in an intensely individualistic Western society. He recalls that before he ever meditated, he felt a persistent longing to understand consciousness, a “free-floating yearning” that led him into Eastern spirituality through books like Be Here Now, Siddhartha, and the works of Carlos Castaneda. Discovering a nearby monastery in the Ajahn Chah lineage, he eventually ordained, believing he was pursuing clear insight through what he calls Buddhist phenomenology. Only later did he recognize that trauma and a desire for safety also influenced his decision, as the monastery offered structure, belonging, and a refuge from uncertainty. Inside monastic life he set aside the intellectual world that once defined him, devoting himself to meditation and the Vinaya. Meditation gave him emotional clarity, while the discipline cultivated humility and restraint. Yet he also saw rigidity within Western monastic communities—an absolutism around hierarchy and rules that sometimes obscured compassion. A turning point came when he lived among Indonesian and Thai monks in Queens, where identical rituals felt more human and flexible, revealing that Western monastics inadvertently reshaped the tradition through their WEIRD conditioning. That conditioning, he says, produces inward-focused individuals burdened by psychic wounds, often misreading Buddhism through a modern psychological lens. Returning to the act of reading late in his monastic years, he encountered books on neuroscience, which reframed experiences he once interpreted through Buddhist metaphysics. Realizing that no single framework held all answers, he eventually moved beyond monasticism. Michael now emphasizes a practical understanding of not-self, rejects political quietism, and argues that wisdom must express itself as action and responsibility. Reflecting on Burma's struggle, he affirms that “justice can be achieved for the Burmese people,” holding hope while remainingcommitted to engagement.
Today we'll be talking about Thailand's newly dubbed status as being the ‘Sick Man of Asia,' allegations of election tampering and vote buying ahead of this weekend's vote, and a little later, Thai influencers weigh in on the prospect of Disney in the land of smiles.
During World War II, Thailand found itself in a precarious position as global conflict engulfed Southeast Asia. Between 1941 and 1944, Thailand navigated a delicate path between cooperation with Imperial Japan and maintaining ties with the Allies. As Japan launched its invasion of British Malaya and Singapore, Thailand's strategic geography made it a crucial player in the region. Rather than fully aligning with one side, the Thai government under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram adopted a policy that, in practice, involved playing both sides, a gamble that reflected both opportunism and survival instinct.

Various statistics suggest that more than half of travellers want to see animals when they travel: that's why we keep returning to the topic of animal tourism and how we can do this in ways that both keep humans interested in caring for animals but without doing too much harm - and while bearing in mind that for many communities, animal tourism can be a significant part of their economy. To sum up: it's tricky! In this episode I get a bunch of different perspectives. I start with Eryn Gordon, a travel writer who visited Thailand and had her first encounter there with an animal sanctuary that was ethical on paper but made her question this when she was there in person - something that many tourists experience. Next, I speak with safari guide Suyash Keshari, who has many years of experience working in tourism with tigers in India (and other animals around the world), and discusses the difficult balance of tourist behaviour that does and doesn't impact animals in ways that actually change their lives. Finally, John Roberts takes us back a couple of decades to describe some of what was happening when the world first started to consider whether it was okay or not to train and tame elephants for tourism purposes, and some of the tricky elements of this in the Thai context in particular.

Today, we'll look at a viral assault involving bar guards in Pattaya, a disturbing alleged sexual attack in Chon Buri, police action against illegal exhausts in Koh Samui, and a dramatic road confrontation in Phuket. We'll also look beyond Thailand as Bali faces mounting waste problems, before ending on a lighter note with a heartwarming cultural mix-up at a rural Thai funeral feast.

It's that time again - time look back at the year that was, and that was a year that was weird. Hine and Buckley have barely recovered from the horrific ordeal of looking back at 2024 but they bravely get their shit together just about enough to sift through the ragged tatters of weirdness that held together the fabric of reality of 2025. The Vayse boys encounter the usual suspects: Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Eric Davis et al, and some new (to the Vayseverse) recurring characters: Mark Christopher Lee, Avi Loeb and the sinister genetics company Colossal Biosciences. In this dizzying dance through to June of 2025 there are also highly strange encounters with egg shaped UFOs; wooly mice; twitchy dangling robots; foul mouthed relatives of his holiness the Pope; the wreckages of persistent bullshit-talking dullard, Elon Musk's childish, egotistical, spacefaring ambitions; soldiers on the moon... and some mother-fucking snakes on a mother-fucking plane...

A guest at a historic Bangkok hotel heard rhythmic knocks on the door for several nights in a row — yet each time he opened it, no one was there, only damp footprints on the carpet and the reflection of a woman in traditional Thai attire appearing in the bathroom mirror;an employee working alone in a company storeroom saw the restroom door — which had been hooked open — slowly close by itself, followed by the sound of a flushing toilet, while a handheld device switched on without reason, and a colleague with yin-yang sight later revealed it was the spirit of the boss’s late daughter still wandering inside;a night-shift driver picked up two female passengers, but during a video call a child insisted there was an extra “auntie in white” beside the mother — the next day a woman from the same car was rushed to hospital after sudden convulsions, and a forgotten lipstick was found on the seat, eerily linking the events together. 旅客在曼谷老牌酒店连续多晚听见半夜规律敲门声,开门却空无一人,只剩地毯上湿脚印与镜中旧式泰装女子的身影;员工独自在公司储藏室点货时,原本勾住的厕所门竟自行关上并传出冲水声,碰眼仪器无端启动,拥有阴阳眼的同事直言是老板女儿的亡灵仍在室内游荡;夜班司机载两名女乘客时,小孩视讯却说看见母亲身边多了一名白衣阿姨,隔日同辆车竟发生女乘客抽搐送医事件,座位还遗落口红,时间线诡异相连。 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg interviews Mario Butler of Dreamster.io, a platform that allows musicians to connect directly with their audience, and fans to own the music they buy, not just rent. Greg begins by asking about Mario's background and the core mission of Dreamster.io, prompting Mario to explain how the music industry has shifted from tangible ownership to a "rental" model through streaming. Mario responds by introducing Digital Music Assets (DMAs), which utilize blockchain to allow fans to truly own digital music again, much like they once owned vinyl or CDs. Next, Greg wonders whether this technology is actually beneficial for the average listener compared to the convenience of a cheap monthly subscription. Mario clarifies that DMAs function as financial assets; because they are built on a bonding curve, the price can increase like a stock, and the platform's smart contracts allow users to sell their music back for a profit. Furthermore, Mario explains that these assets are programmable, meaning an artist can embed real-world perks like merchandise discounts or backstage passes directly into the digital file. Greg then asks why Mario is specifically targeting the Thailand market. Mario notes that Thai artists and fans are exceptionally tech-savvy and passionate, making them early adopters of innovative platforms. He emphasizes that Dreamster removes the usual "crypto" hurdles by allowing users to sign up via email and pay with credit cards, hiding the complex backend technology to focus on the user experience. The interview finishes with a discussion of how the platform protects against AI-generated content and automates royalty splits, ensuring that human creators are fairly compensated for their work in real-time.
Joey is trying to plan a spring break trip for his family and is considering going to London. Schools are out again today, and Knox County is on a 2-hour delay tomorrow. Karly had signed up for a jiu jitsu class last night but canceled an hour before because she got scared. Nancy suggested she try Thai chi. Joey then asked if that was a drink.

Episode #479: “Thailand is not about people, it's about diversity. People are a very important resource to build a country, no matter where you're from, or who you are, right?” Born in Thailand's Deep South near the Malay border, Koreeyor Manuchae embodies layered identities— Muslim, Malay, Thai— and has become one of the country's boldest advocates for migrant and refugee rights. Her path began almost by chance: a volunteer posting after law school brought her to Mae Sot, along the Thai-Myanmar border. There, she met people fleeing repression and poverty and saw that her legal education meant little unless it served those excluded from its protection. This realization became her life's compass. Starting with simple tasks like filing wage complaints, she uncovered deeper systems of exploitation. She saw that Myanmar migration was an act of survival— and that Thailand's prosperity depended on those it marginalized. “Without migrant workers, Mae Sot would be nothing,” she says. Yet while migrants sustain Thailand's industries, they're often vilified as criminals or disease carriers. She notes that this is a kind of hypocrisy, given how much migrants have contributed to the development of Thai society and prosperity. Manuchae's criticism of Thailand's migrant policies is fierce. Legal channels are so costly and slow that people fall into illegality by necessity. She argues for a system that is simple, affordable, and humane—one that values dignity over control. Her landmark “chicken farm” case, where enslaved workers won justice, proved that freedom isn't defined by unlocked doors. But she knows victories are fragile: courts still blur the line between forced labor and trafficking. Koreeyor Manuchae often speaks of the need to recognize humanity before nationality, believing that identity is defined not by documents but by the simple fact of existence. Or as she says, “We need to care about fundamental things like fundamental right for human rights as well.”

More good news on the tourism front. Auckland Airport has reinstated its partnership with Thai Airways, bringing back non-stop flights between Auckland and Bangkok. The route reconnects New Zealand with one of Asia's major aviation hubs, and is expected to bring in around $250 million a year in visitor spending. Auckland Airport Chief Customer Officer Scott Tasker told Mike Hosking not only will it make it easier for Kiwis to visit Thailand, the flights also make New Zealand a much more attractive destination for Thai tourists. Also, he says, Thai Airways has a network of 56 international destinations from Bangkok, so this route will help bring in more high spenders from places like the UK, Germany and India.

Bangkok is one of the world's great cities, and the central artery of that city is the Chaophraya River. Michael Hurley's book, Waterways of Bangkok: Memory, Landscape, and Twilight (NUS Press, 2025) just published by National University of Singapore Press, is an evocative reflection on the river's place in Thai history, society, and culture. The author describes the Chaophraya River as the “binding thread of the Thai heartland”. He uses the river to examine historical legacies, the role of diverse ethnic groups that have contributed in various ways to Bangkok, and the country's fractious politics. The book is also a meditation on the important, but today barely noticed, shift in Thai social life from a waterborne lifestyle to a land-based one, a shift which is barely a century old. Flooding, water pollution, and Bangkok's notorious traffic jams, are all related to this movement away from an earlier aquatic culture. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gaeng som, or Thai sour curry with fish is a water-based, sour and spicy Thai curry, often described as a soup, typically featuring seafood and vegetables. It's known for its distinct sourness from tamarind, and incorporates fish, Thai morning glory, pumpkin, and sliced omelet. This type of curry uses broth rather than coconut milk as the base.

If you've ever screamed “JUST TELL US HOW MUCH SNOW” at your TV, congratulations — you're already emotionally prepared for today's daily podcast. Wait til you see the parenting challenges this guy admits to.On this episode of The Rizzuto Show, the crew spirals over wildly inconsistent snowfall predictions, Arctic wind chills, and the terrifying revelation that trees can literally explode when it gets too cold. Add in travel anxiety, Southern Illinois party drama, and weather forecasters refusing to “put their hogs on the table,” and we're already off the rails before the first hour.Then things get weirder.We break down a cemetery crime spree involving stolen bronze vases (bad luck speedrun), a Delta flight that soaked a passenger with de-icing fluid (new fear unlocked), and a love triangle that somehow involves one woman, two identical twins, and a brand-new boundary known as “the brother line.”As if that wasn't enough, we dive into a fertility clinic horror story where a couple gives birth to a baby that isn't genetically theirs — raising questions no one is emotionally equipped to answer at 7 a.m. And finally, we unpack an internet confession so uncomfortable, so oddly delivered, and so comment-section-fueled that it instantly joins the Rizz Show Hall of Fame.This daily podcast has everything: weather panic, a revisit to the great paper plate debate, cursed news, and the kind of conversations that make you say, “I should not have heard this… but I'm glad I did.” It's messy, it's hilarious, and it's exactly why the Rizz Show daily podcast exists.
