Walk into any classroom today, from Bangkok to Boston, and you will witness the same scene: rows of students learning how to recall information that an AI can summon in milliseconds.
Are we evolving backwards?
Are we evolving backwards?
Sunday 2 November 2025 11:00 AM
Humans spent millions of years evolving to stand tall – hunting, gathering, farming and building civilisations. And now? We are hunched over laptops, necks craned toward glowing rectangles, thumbs twitching faster than thoughts. Our opposable thumbs once allowed us to master tools; now the tools are mastering us, literally reshaping our bodies.

Well, it is the horror film that everybody is talking about at the moment and to be honest after watching Shelby Oaks you can easily see why. This is not only a horror film that begs to be different – it is a film that takes the classic horror style and turns it on its head.

Sadly, for a long time the romance genre remained an area that Hollywood just simply refused to experiment with. You can can’t really blame them though because despite how many boy meets girl, girl doesn’t like boy, boy has to win over girl movies were being made they seemed to always make a massive amount of money at the box office.

Was 6,000km Euro cycle done in vain?

I recently cycled across Europe – from Estonia all the way to Gibraltar – driven by a mission to cross a continent the hard, slow way to help Save Our Seas. What I didn’t expect was for this mission to end with an urgent SOS of my own.

To be honest I am surprised that it has taken 15 years for a new Tron film to surface. Does everybody remember the hype that occurred when Tron: Legacy was released in 2010?

Here in Phuket, we are accustomed to seeing the glittering, flawless façade of luxury tourism. But step just a few streets away, into the heart of the island’s older, poorer, or underinvested communities, and you see another reality: pockets of neglect. A discarded fishing net here, a pile of unmanaged waste there, a public space overgrown and forgotten.

Dwayne Johnson Rocks the show to prompt Oscar talk
Saturday 11 October 2025 02:00 PM
Could Dwayne Johnson – the artist formerly known as The Rock – be in line for an Oscar nomination this award season? If you had asked me that question a few years ago I would have said no, but now after seeing his latest film The Smashing Machine I would have to change my answer to perhaps.
Exploring Natural Phuket in Green Season
Exploring Natural Phuket in Green Season
Sunday 5 October 2025 12:00 PM
For me the green season, or monsoon season, is a great time to get out and about for several reasons. Firstly it’s not so hot so you can actually spend time wandering around at your leisure to find new places and see new things without getting cooked. Secondly, the rain the plants and insects come out so there is a lot for the birds to feed on and as such more to see. There are also far less people around meaning it is quieter and less likely to scare the wildlife away. As normal this year, there are many birds around even in the busy tourist areas, if you actually take your time and look, especially in the back streets.

Facing up to and managing hearing loss
Sunday 28 September 2025 11:00 AM
Hearing loss does not usually arrive with fanfare. It sneaks in quietly, like someone turning down a dimmer switch one notch at a time. A missed word here, a punchline lost there, a conversation that feels just a little harder to follow. You just nod, laugh, or guess what was said. Life carries on, but the volume is turned down.

Every now and then a movie comes out that is so good that you could easily walk out of the cinema after watching it and go straight back in and watch it again. It hadn’t happened to me for awhile but Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing very quickly changed that.

When someone mentions films based on the works of Stephen King normally your mind goes straight to the classic horror films – It, Carrie, Pet Semetary, etc. People seem to forget that King’s work has also been responsible for cinematic masterpieces like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Now another film need to be added to that second list because The Long Walk is sheer cinematic brilliance.
Mangroves: Phuket’s Natural Defence
Mangroves: Phuket’s Natural Defence
Sunday 14 September 2025 02:00 PM
On Phuket’s East Coast, at Tawanron Beach where the Chalong River meets the sea, the roots of mangrove trees spread across the mudflats. Locals gather shellfish here, and photographers admire the play of light among the roots. These trees are more than picturesque: they are living coastal infrastructure. Their roots slow waves and trap sediment, their canopies blunt wind, their soils store carbon, and their food webs support fisheries. Where mangroves remain, people and property are measurably safer.
