Bangkok Podcast 57: Voranai Vanijaka II

On this episode of Bangkok Podcast, we are very happy to welcome
back Voranai Vanijaka, a columnist for the Bangkok Post whose
articles focus on many of the most important issues facing Thai
society today - politics, class struggle, stereotypes,
corruption, and more. His writing is read by many who appreciate
his no-nonsense style of facing problems head on and exploring
some ugly truths; coincidentally, the same reason some are not
fans of his articles.


With the Thai election just around the corner, Voranai gives his
view on the current landscape of Thai politics, what he thinks
will happen after the election, why the election is about more
than just one person, and how we all play a part in making sure
Thailand moves forward instead of backward.


We are also joined by Benjamin Lord, owner and head baker at
Urban Pantry, Bangkok's best option for fans of bread - real
bread. Ben started selling loaves to friends but word spread so
quickly that he's now moving his kitchen-based business into its
own shophouse. He brings some of his wares into the studio for
Greg and Tony to try, who nearly forget about the podcast because
they're so busy eating.
