The week that was in Thailand news: Why worry about the wallies in the White House?

 

 

I learnt as a cub reporter growing up in South London that what happens locally is likely to have a much greater impact on the individual than international events.  What happens to you personally on a daily basis, maybe just yards from your home, is more important than all the rhetoric from politicians across the globe.

INSTALLING underground power lines and communication cables is among the top goals cited by Bangkokians to improve their city. Not only would the move beautify the street scape, it would also boost public safety, ending news reports of accidents or natural disasters causing power poles to fall on people, causing death or injury.
