In this time of despair, a small sense of achievement has arrived to boost Thais’ morale – winning a global online race as a team.

 

Thailand on Sunday (August 15) managed to top the leader board of a popular online game called Popcat, in which players gain points with a click of their mouse or a tap on their smartphone.

While I kind of understand the attraction of such games (I don’t share it but I see it), some things just aren’t worth celebrating.

I've also been 'doing my bit for Thailand' with this, contributing towards their tally, when I'm sitting on the throne. It helps pass the time.

I sometimes wonder how we survived before the internet.... I certainly know it's helping me now.
