  • 20 MAY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   Shoppers in Siam Paragon mall in Bangkok pass a large electronic billboard. Bangkok's malls consume more electricity than some provinces. Siam Paragon, a popular high end mall in central Bangkok, consumes nearly twice as much electricity at the northern province of Mae Hong Son. Thais and foreigners alike flock to the malls in Bangkok, which are air conditioned. Most of the electricity consumed in Bangkok is generated in Laos and Myanmar. In 2013, the Bangkok Metropolitan Region consumed about 40 per cent of the Thailand's electricity, even though the BMR is only 1.5 per cent of the country’s land area and about 22 per cent of its population.

The Sandanistas won the November election and took power in January, 17 years after they were swept from power by the UNO opposition coalition headed by Violetta Chamorro. The Sandanistas ruled Nicaragua from 1979 to 1990 after they defeated the Somoza government. Their tenure was marked by advances in education and health care, but also by a war against the "Contras" an anti-Sandanista army organized and funded by the Reagan administration.

  • 11 JULY 2013 - RAMAN, YALA, THAILAND:  Thai soldiers look at the weapons and equipment of their colleagues injured in an IED attack Thursday morning. A billboard urging peace during the holy month of Ramadan is behind the soldiers. Eight soldiers were injured when the IED exploded under a Thai Army truck carrying soldiers back to their camp after they finished a teacher protection mision. The army routinely dispatches soldiers to protect teachers and Buddhist monks, who have been targeted by Muslim insurgents as representatives of the Bangkok government. More than 5,000 people have been killed and over 9,000 hurt in more than 11,000 incidents in Thailand's three southernmost provinces and four districts of Songkhla since the insurgent violence erupted in January 2004, according to Deep South Watch, an independent research organization that monitors violence in Thailand's deep south region that borders Malaysia.

YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA, the Thai Prime Minister, (left) "wais" (formal Thai greeting) other members of the Pheu Thai party leadership after announcing that Pongsapat Pongchareon (whose photo is on the billboard in the background) lost the Bangkok Governor's election. Pongsapat Pongchareon, running on the Pheu Thai ticket, lost the Bangkok's Governor's race to MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the incumbent running on the Democrat ticket. Sukhumbhand won the race after scoring a record number of votes, more than 1.2 million to Pongsapat's 1 million. The results were seen as an upset even though Sukhumbhand was the incumbent because all of the pre-election polls and the exit polls conducted on election day showed Patsapong winning.

After his second abdication in 2004, he was given the honorific of "The King-Father of Cambodia." Sihanouk died in Beijing, China, where he was receiving medical care, on Oct. 15, 2012.

  • 23 FEBRUARY 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   A woman walks by a Nok Air electronic billboard in the domestic terminal at Don Mueang Airport. Nok Air, partly owned by Thai Airways International and one of the largest and most successful budget airlines in Thailand, cancelled 20 flights Tuesday because of a shortage of pilots and announced that other flights would be cancelled or suspended through the weekend. The cancellations came after a wildcat strike by several pilots Sunday night cancelled flights and stranded more than a thousand travelers. The pilot shortage at Nok comes at a time when the Thai aviation industry is facing more scrutiny for maintenance and training of air and ground crews, record keeping, and the condition of Suvarnabhumi Airport, which although less than 10 years old is already over capacity, and facing maintenance issues related to runways and taxiways, some of which have developed cracks. The United States' Federal Aviation Administration late last year downgraded Thailand to a "category 2" rating, which means its civil aviation authority is deficient in one or more critical areas or that the country lacks laws and regulations needed to oversee airlines in line with international standards.
