During April showers, watch out for emboldened young men
Monday, April 09, 2012
Our Expert on Divine Intervention vouchsafes: Earlier in the year, we reported on the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s plan to restore the kingdom’s image and revive its hospitality industry with a 6.3 billion Baht PR crusade, supported by the government under the title “Miracle Thailand Year 2012”. For many years previously, the TAT’s preferred slogan had been “Amazing Thailand”. Now, emboldened by the magical achievements of her first months in office (such as the swift reversal of the flood waters), PM Yingluck Shinawatra had decreed the nation’s elevation from being merely “amazing” to the status of an actual “miracle”. Strangely, there’s been precious little evidence of “Miracle Thailand Year 2012” so far, but perhaps the TAT has been distracted by what it refers to merrily as the “Songkran Splendours” of April.

March comes in like a lion… and May will be Gaga
Friday, March 02, 2012
Our Gay Icon Editor screams: It’s just been confirmed that Lady Gaga will bring The Born This Way Ball to the Rajamangala National Stadium in what must surely be her spiritual home, Bangkok, on 25 May. The long-anticipated event risks relegating this month’s appearance by Olivia Newton-John at the sinisterly-named Hall 106 in BITEC Bangna to the status of a warm-up act. Tickets aren’t cheap for either dream-come-true. But, if you opt to miss La Newton-John and save up for Her Musical Loonyness, you could console yourself with Olivia’s new healthy eating cookbook. Who knows? It might unlock the secret of how she keeps her hair so sumptuously blonde at the age of 63! Now, this Deluge of Divas would overshadow all other news in a normal month. But there’s no such thing as a normal month in Thailand. True to form, the Kingdom has begun March by defying global trends, not to mention its own recent history, with a burst of bullish optimism that’s been endorsed by many gay businesses.

Thai PM believes in miracles – official
Thursday, February 02, 2012
Our Mental Health Correspondent reports: Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s government has pledged 6.3 billion Baht for a campaign to revive tourism and counter the effects of street protests, terrorist alerts and flooding. The news comes despite repeated claims that Thai tourism had hardly been affected by the stream of negative news in recent times. Mind you, the figures published in support of those claims never did seem very plausible. And besides, consistency isn’t one of the P M’s big things, except perhaps in the rigid state of her hair-do and her ceaseless assault on the English language.

A box full of reasons to be cheerful about 2012
Sunday, January 01, 2012
Our Lifestyle Editor explains: The news has been spreading like wildfire among resident queens throughout the holiday weekend. In the bars, saunas and tea rooms, they’ve nattered about little else. My elderly assistant, Yolande, hasn’t been so excited since she first laid hands on a copy of Physique Pictorial. It is such very special news, and has been so fervently awaited by all persons of delicacy and refinement, that it must be taken as a sign, an augury. Now only the most dyed-in-the-wool curmudgeons – Scrooges loitering unwanted after Christmas, like turkey scrag ends at the back of the fridge - can possibly doubt that 2012 will be a blissful year in The Land Of Smiles.
