Elections? Referendums? Orange, Navy, Yellow? All things we need to talk about as Thai Indians. It's voting season and we need to make ourselves heard.

In this episode we catch up with Khun Tommy, a Thai Indian Bangkok city council member candidate from the People Party. He helps us understand the role Thai Indians play in politics and why it is vital we vote.

We welcome Viney - Technology Consulting Partner turned Tech Entrepreneur - to explain what the two letters everybody is talking about will mean for the future of Thai Indians: AI.

How will tailor shops survive AI? In what ways can hotels integrate this technology? Can wedding planners be replaced?

And more importantly : what should the future generation of Thai Indians study to prepare for what’s ahead?!

We'd love to hear of other ways AI is impacting your day to day.

Today we explore what it means to be QUEER in the Thai Indian society. With the help of Rakshet, we unpack the LGBTQ++ acronym and try to understand all the things around it. This episode is a long one but it is sure to keep you enterained.

We cover some enlightening topics including self-discovery, coming out to your friends and family, and Thailand’s recent legalization of gay marriage and what that may mean with respect to religion .

Let us know what you think.

Fang Thon Indians and Sukhumvit Indians are not the same. One side’s eating samosas together in the moo baan, the other’s busy pretending they’re in Gossip Girl. We’re talking real vs fake, local vs international, and why deep down, nobody’s actually better — but it’s way more fun to fight about it. Warning: if you get offended easily, this episode isn’t for you. (But like, still listen.)

With the help of Nonna , our in-house Fang Thon resident, we peek into the what’s and why’s of our surprising similarities and dramatic differences

A bonus episode with Sanju, our in-house psychologist, touching on divorce and should they be talked about outside the family?Let us know your thoughts.
