Thai PBS wins Saengchai Award for best news documentary

A news documentary by Thai PBS shedding light on the life of an indigenous tribe known as maniq or sakai in southern Thailand has won the prestigious Saengchai Sunthornwat Award for best TV news documentary for 2017.

The report, entitled “Truth Uncovered: Stateless maniq”, brought to public attention the plights suffered by this small group of indigenous people of hunter-gatherer culturein Satun province. Though given Thai citizenship, these formerly stateless people are still being denied basic citizens’ rights and are still leading a subsistence lifestyle.

Thai PBS also won a consolation prize for its investigative news report exposing coastal encroachment by groups of influential people at Baan Don in Surat Thani.

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again.
