Khao Sod Editorial
Prime Minister Yingluck has instructed the Interior Ministry to be more careful in its survey of drought-hit provinces that need government assistance. The interior minister will be held responsible if the financial aid does not reach those who really need it. Surveys carried out by local administrative officials must also be cross-checked to prevent any misappropriation of state budget. This is the right move by the prime minister.

The myth of Communist meritocracy
Political scandals sometimes perform the valuable function of cleansing governments, destroying the political credibility of individuals of dubious character. More importantly, they can debunk political myths central to the legitimacy of some regimes, as appears to be the case with the Bo Xilai affair in China.

Chut Wutty's name may not ring a bell among most people in this country. But to many Cambodians, he was their pre-eminent environmental activist, a sort of local hero who had the guts to stand up to the powerful and rich to protect his country's fast-shrinking forests.

Hybrid minimalism
In a season of saccharin-spun pastels, ultra-feminine laces, elegant couture and uber-solid art deco runs a streak of minimalism that embraces both the vision of the spring/summer 2012 ladies _ the sweet loving women who shrug off the meaty, manned-up masculinity of the autumn/winter 2011 _ and the philosophy of "less is more" that has been dominating the fashion trend for a few season.

How's your hair?
Everyone loses hair. It happens while you're brushing through it, while you're washing your hair or while you're blow drying it and it's completely normal. That's just hair going through its cycles, and there will be new ones to replace it. But when the bathroom drain begin to clog, your brush gets filled with hair strands or just using your fingertips to comb your hair can result in hair loss, it may begin to get stressful. That's when you begin to wonder "Is this normal or should I be worried?"

The Trocks Rock Bangkok
Ballet was alive again when Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (known affectionately by their worldwide fanbase as the Trocks) paid another visit to Bangkok last week at the Royal Paragon Hall. Dance-goers in Thailand who spend more that 600 baht per ticket to see a performance are rarely challenged with the kind of wit and intelligence this all-male and en-drag ballet troupe possesses. Big-budget musicals and many works billed in the annual Bangkok's International Festival of Dance and Music are so redundant that they narrow audiences' views of what is considered "beautiful dancing", and even more troubling, what is considered dance at all. Although the Trocks are no longer provocative or groundbreaking, even in the Thai dance scene, the company still holds its own special place in the international ballet world.
