About Thaigest

Thaigest /ˈtaɪdʒɛst/ is a Thailand digest /ˈdaɪdʒɛst/ of news, stories and perspectives from the Thailand behind the headlines and between the lines.

Curated by a long-time resident-turned-citizen who has lived in the kingdom for decades, Thaigest draws on a lifetime of watching, reporting on and living through Thailand’s extraordinary twists and turns — and on the voices of readers who live in, know or care about the country.

Long enough to have seen this movie before. The names change. The governments change. The headlines change. Thailand really doesn’t.

How it works

• Columns. The editor’s take on the Thailand behind the headlines. Start with the 90-day report.
• Reader voices. Instead of a comment section, we publish selected submissions from readers. Send yours.
• Discussion. Conversations happen on X and Facebook, where you can reply to and share each piece.
