Bangkok Podcast 2: Prae Sunantaraks

After a tumultuous week that saw many deaths and widespread arson
and rioting in Bangkok, we discuss the fallout from the army’s
breakup of the redshirt protest site and what it means to Bangkok
and the rest of Thailand. We also talk about how most of Bangkok
continues as normal, even as a temporary curfew puts a major dent
in Bangkok’s nightlife.


In addition, we are very happy to be joined by Prae Sunantaraks –
nicknamed Fluke – who was born with retinitis pigmentosa, a
degenerative retinal disease that is slowly robbing her of her
sight. She shares with us the details of The Little Light Project
– a charity she started for blind children – and helps us
understand how she remains so positive and upbeat even as her
world becomes darker and darker – an outlook that many in Bangkok
can appreciate these days. She also lets us in on the biggest
mystery of all – how a visually-impaired person navigates the
treacherous Bangkok sidewalks!
