It’s been said that politics can make for strange bedfellows. In today’s hyper-divided climate, it can lead to empty ones as well. So is there any hope for love in a time of open tribal warfare?
With elections just over the horizon, the hosts of the longest-running radio talk show’s best advice boils down to: put up or break up. Relationships are difficult enough without conflict over whether one is pro- or anti-anything, so Napaporn “P’Aoy” Triwitwareegune and Saithip “P’Chod” Montrikul Na Ayudhaya of Club Friday say the only chance couples have to to respect their differences – or call it quits.
She said it’s important for couples to accept each other’s differences as just that – differences, not morally reprehensible defects. Try applying the same thinking of your other, less-combustible differences: one likes blockbuster movies, the other prefers French arthouse flicks.
“When you go vote, you don’t need to be holding each other’s hands into the booth,” Aoy said.
When discussing current events, try sticking to the facts instead of spouting provocations. And remember that discussions aren’t debates where someone has to be steamrolled
over.
“You don’t need to win over other people in the same house as you,” Aoy said.
Allowing each other space to vent politically with their tribe is important as well, the hosts said. One person can’t provide every type of fulfillment, and that includes political validation. A lot of couples simply leave their stripes at the door.
“It’s the same with friendships. You might have this really funny friend, but you don’t go talk to them when you need serious advice,” Aoy said.

BANGKOK — Weeks away from Election Day, the ruling junta wants people to know that democracy can take no credit for Thailand’s freedom and independence.
Netizens expressed befuddlement by a social media post showing famous kings and historical warriors which seemed to come out of nowhere last night from the National Council for Peace and Order, as the junta calls itself.
“Thailand has been able to maintain its independence and sovereignty to this day not because of democracy, but because of its former kings, Thai ancestors, and all Thais who love our nation and our land,” the post read.
After it met a major backlash online, it was deleted late Thursday morning, but not before it had been shared nearly 1,200 times.
Most comments were critical at what many perceived as a cheap shot against democratic principles as the nation prepares to vote.
“Thailand has been able to maintain its independence and sovereignty to this day not because of the NCPO,” commented Yingcheep Atchanont, director of iLaw, a group monitoring junta legal abuses.
“In a society where traditionalists don’t have any honor, nor any accomplishments in the present or future, they’ll always cling onto honor done in the past that they have zero share in, to demand people’s gratitude,” user Namfon Parnmongkon wrote. “The lives and spirits of those who bled for the land were all peasants, subordinate soldiers and children of ordinary folks who died for the glory of people on the back of elephant and horses.”
Similar affront was taken on Twitter, where images of the post were widely shared.
“This is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen [from them] so far,” @Bankbn11 wrote. “Support absolute monarchy, support military dictatorship and outrageously dismiss the people.”
“How could you write to imply that if we love democracy it means that we don’t love the nation and the monarchy?” another user, @Zearr_, wrote.
The post came just five weeks before polls open in the first general election after five years of military rule. Recent maneuvers such as moving to disband certain parties and shutter critical broadcasters have contributed to skepticism it will be a fair and free vote.

TOULOUSE, France — European aviation giant Airbus said Thursday it will stop making its superjumbo A380 in 2021 for lack of customers, abandoning the world’s biggest passenger jet and one of the aviation industry’s most ambitious and most troubled endeavors.
Barely a decade after the 500-plus-seat plane started carrying passengers, Airbus said in a statement that key client Emirates is cutting back its orders for the plane, and as a result, “we have no substantial A380 backlog and hence no basis to sustain production.”
The decision could hurt up to 3,500 jobs, Airbus said. The company is releasing its 2018 annual earnings later Thursday and said the decision is expected to impact the results.
The decision is a boon for rival Boeing and a crushing blow for Airbus. The European plane maker had hoped the A380 would squeeze out Boeing’s 747 and revolutionize air travel as more people take to the skies.
Instead, airlines have been cautious about committing to the costly plane, so huge that airports had to build new runways and modify terminals to accommodate it. The double-decker planes started flying in 2008 and seated more than 500 passengers.
The A380 had troubles from the start, including tensions between Airbus’ French and German management and protracted production delays and cost overruns. Those prompted a company restructuring that cost thousands of jobs.
Industry experts initially expected A380s to long outlast the 747, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year.
When it started taking on passengers in 2008, the A380 was hailed for its roominess, large windows, high ceilings and quieter engines. Some carriers put in showers, lounges, duty free shops, bars on both decks.
An ethnic Uighur detainee who fled nearly three years of detention in Mukdahan province is taken back into custody Wednesday night.
MUKDAHAN — Police on Thursday were looking for four Uighurs refugees who escaped nearly three years of detention in Thailand’s northeast.
The four refugees, all men, escaped the immigration detention center in Mukdahan province Tuesday night. Police believe they’re still in the province, likely begging for food, according to Col. Komen Suphap, provincial immigration chief.
The three other male Uighurs, all held there since June 2016, escaped with them but have since been re-arrested.
Uighurs fleeing their homes in western China often pass through Thailand, where they are regarded as illegal immigrants and subject to detention. China has engaged in widespread persecution of the Muslim-majority ethnic group in Xinjiang province, placing an estimated one million Uighurs in political labor camps.
In July 2015, Thailand deported more than 100 Uighurs against their will back to China under pressure from Beijing.
A 'mia luang,' played by Patharawarin Timkul, prepares to slap a 'mia noi,' played by Amy Klinprathum, in a scene from Club Friday the Series 7.
From listening to the bitter complaints of neglected mia nois to cuckolded husbands, there are two women who in 14 years have heard more Thai love problems than most do in a lifetime.
That’s how long “P’Aoy” and “P’Chod” have hosted Club Friday, a popular, call-in radio show for the spurned, wounded and tear-stained. They’re not calling in for professional advice – Napaporn “Aoy” Triwitwareegune and Saithip “Chod” Montrikul Na Ayudhaya don’t really offer that – but rather a sympathetic ear and emotional catharsis.
“Sawasdee ka, what exactly happened to you?” Aoy’s soothing radio voice usually greets callers, unleashing something between a hesitant trickle or venting torrents of grief.
And that grief nine times out of 10 is due to cheating – cheating husbands, wives, girlfriends, grandmas and grandpas. And with few exceptions, Aoy and Chod take the side of righteous outrage.
A woman recently called in about her husband’s habit of spending family money to buy land, launch businesses and have children with other women throughout their 22-year marriage. Now, she was finally getting a divorce.
“Not everyone has the same level of patience you do, but you finally ran out. But for anyone else listening, remember that loving yourself shouldn’t come this late,” Aoy said before offering a slice of you-go-girl encouragement. “For Feb. 14 this year, buy the biggest bouquet of flowers for yourself. Congratulate yourself for getting out of that, and how much pain it took for you to get to this point.”
In most episodes, the women listen attentively before weighing in with some soft tut-tuts and advice – much to the succor of whoever is calling in.
Highlights of the Feb. 1 episode of Club Friday.
Truth Is Stranger Than Friction
The two heard-it-alls can rattle off case after case of infidelity. The 70-year-old man who’s a serial cheat, the boyfriend who prostrates on the ground and promises never to cheat only to get right back to it.
One of the more shocking calls came from a daughter whose father was stepping out on her terminally ill mother with her mother’s younger sister. The dad periodically brought his new lover to the hospital ward. When the wife died, they hooked up at her ash-scattering ceremony.
“In my dad’s phone, she sent him stuff like, ‘I can wait for you, babe,’” said the daughter. “I told him that it was okay if he had someone new – but why so soon? And why her?”
In a videoof the call, the hosts telegraph their empathy, looking visibly stressed as they cross their arms and sigh as the daughter’s voice grows increasingly pained. Their encouragement to her: Focus on caring for yourself rather than trying to stop your father.
“People who cheat think it’s just for sanook, but then feelings become involved – and you can’t put a brake on feelings,” Aoy said. “They thought it was mai pen rai, just for fun, and then they’re somehow addicted, as if they’re on drugs.”
In a 2017 talk, Aoy said 12 Thais commit suicide daily, with anguish over infidelity being a major factor.
“Cheating can create enormous depression and repressed mental health,” she said in a recent interview at their studio. “Let’s not see any more suicides from love.”
Cheatland?
Despite the reputation for infidelity Thailand has earned, the two women don’t believe cheating is especially worse here than elsewhere.
“There are no rules and theories to love. Cheating is not measured by area or country, but by the times,” Chod said.
Although neither believe there’s a way to measure cheating, they agree that in 14 years of being Thailand’s shoulders to cry on, they’ve heard more and more stories of cheating hearts.
Whether this is due to an actual increase or more openness to discussing it, they’re also not sure. One thing they both agree on is that that technology hasn’t helped.
“It’s easier than ever to meet someone without putting your identity on the line, to start chatting with them and think that they’re better than who you have currently,” Chod said.
Napaporn “Aoy” Triwitwareegune and Saithip “Chod” Montrikul Na Ayudhaya, the radio hosts of Club Friday.
In one dubious sign of strides made toward equality, they agree that Thai women today are cheating in no fewer numbers.
“Now, calls are about both men and women cheating, or becoming the ‘third hand’ in another relationship,” Chod said.
The most recent episode of Club Friday featured a woman who strung along four men at the same time while her boyfriend was overseas.
“I felt like I had the right to get more options. But I didn’t break up with him yet. I admit it’s wrong,” the caller said, laughing. “It went from another guy, to two guys, to three guys!”
Chod adds smoothly, “Why does your voice sound like you’re having a lot of fun?”
Everyone Cheats
“Many victims calling in are men; not just women now. There’s this, ‘If you can do it, so can I’ mentality. Women can be the harmful ones too,” Aoy said.
The two recounted one such story in which a man drove his wife to her lover’s house, hoping she would pack up her things and go back home with him (She didn’t).

Infidelity is, of course, not solely the domain of heterosexual love.
“Pain isn’t limited to a gender,” Aoy said, adding that they hear from their share of love-stricken LGBT callers. “Some men take wonderful care of their wives, but then she finds some boy that seems to just tick all her boxes.”
In another call, a woman was living with a woman who also had another girlfriend – and a boyfriend as well. She said she had to hide when the boyfriend came over, and of course the whole thing eventually ended very badly.
“I trusted her …I did her laundry, washed her undies. Then she chased me out of the house, and took back the pair of Ray-Bans she got me as a gift,” the caller said.
“I’m not really shocked by any of this,” Aoy replied. “Well, have you stopped doing all of that yet?”
Another Club Friday staple are Thai women in long-distance relationships with foreign men – while a Thai man is closer at hand.
They thought it was mai pen rai, just for fun, and then they’re somehow addicted, as if they’re on drugs
“Some women call in because they feel guilty about cheating on their foreign men,” Aoy said.
Still, the duo reiterate that not everyone is cheating or looking to cheat.
“Not everyone is cheating on someone else, but the people calling are the ones who are experiencing problems. Happy people without problems won’t call,” Aoy said.

MANILA — The award-winning head of a Philippine online news site that has aggressively covered President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration was arrested Wednesday by government agents in a libel case.
Maria Ressa, who was selected by Time magazine as one of its Persons of the Year last year, was arrested over a libel complaint from a businessman which Amnesty International condemned as “brazenly politically motivated.” Duterte’s government said the arrest was a normal step in response to the complaint.
Duterte has openly lambasted journalists who write unfavorable stories about him, including his anti-drug campaign that has left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead.
Rappler Inc., the news site which Ressa heads, said National Bureau of Investigation agents served the warrant late Wednesday afternoon, making it difficult for Ressa to apply for bail, and escorted her from the Rappler office to NBI headquarters.
“We are not intimidated. No amount of legal cases, black propaganda, and lies can silence Filipino journalists who continue to hold the line,” Ressa said in a statement. “These legal acrobatics show how far the government will go to silence journalists, including the pettiness of forcing me to spend the night in jail.”
Ressa and a former Rappler researcher, Reynaldo Santos Jr., were indicted recently, the Department of Justice said.
Rappler said the businessman filed the libel complaint five years after the article appeared in 2012, and the law under which Ressa was charged by the government, the Cybercrime Prevention Act, did not go into effect until months after the article’s publication.
The article included allegations that the businessman was linked to illegal drugs and human trafficking, and that a car registered in his name had been used by the country’s chief justice.
Amnesty International Philippines said Ressa’s arrest was based on a “trumped up libel charge.”
“This is brazenly politically motivated, and consistent with the authorities’ threats and repeated targeting of Ressa and her team,” it said.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the arrest was “merely part of any criminal procedure.” Duterte’s spokesman said the charge against Ressa was based on facts which she should simply answer and had “nothing to do” with press freedom.
Rappler is one of several news agencies deemed critical of Duterte’s policies.
Duterte had already banned a Rappler reporter from his news briefings after the government’s corporate watchdog found that the news site violated a constitutional prohibition on foreign ownership of media when it received money from an international investment firm. Rappler, founded in 2012, rejected the ruling.
Ressa has also posted bail on tax evasion charges which she denies and says were politically motivated.
The International Press Institute, a global network of media personnel, strongly condemned Ressa’s detention.
“The arrest of Maria Ressa is an outrageous attempt by the Philippines government to silence a news organization that has been courageously investigating corruption and human rights violations in the country,” IPI director of advocacy Ravi R. Prasad said in a statement.
“The manner in which Ressa has been pursued by the government by slapping legal cases against her is not only shameful but also a gross and willful violation of press freedom.”
In its selection of Ressa as a Person of the Year, Time magazine cited her and several other journalists as “guardians” in what it said was an effort to emphasize the importance of reporters’ work in an increasingly hostile world.
Ressa, who has worked with CNN, also was the winner of two prestigious journalism awards last year, a Press Freedom award from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, and the International Center for Journalists’ Knight International Journalism Award.

CANBERRA — A refugee soccer player who was detained in Thailand for three months under threat of extradition to Bahrain shook hands Thursday with Australia’s prime minister, whom he credits with securing his freedom.
Three days after he was released from a cramped Bangkok cell, Hakeem al-Araibi was welcomed into Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s ornate office in Parliament House.
Morrison and Foreign Minister Marise Payne had repeatedly lobbied the Thai and Bahrain governments on al-Araibi’s behalf for his return to Australia where he is a permanent resident.
“Thank you very much. I’m so happy to be back in Australia now and I’m grateful to be here to live in this country,” the 25-year-old said.
Morrison said he was pleased al-Araibi had come home and looked forward to him soon becoming an Australian citizen.
Al-Araibi had arrived in his home city of Melbourne on Tuesday on a flight from Bangkok where he had been detained since November following an extradition application from his native Bahrain.
He came to Parliament House on Thursday morning to watch a soccer match played by lawmakers, supporters and stars of the Australian national women’s team wearing the yellow uniform of Amnesty International and the blue of al-Arabi’s Melbourne team Pascoe Vale Football Club.
The former Bahrain national team player watched from the sidelines with the foreign minister, explaining that his hamstrings remained too tight after weeks in a crowded cell to play.
The soccer match had been planned as a demonstration of support for al-Araibi when he faced indefinite detention. But instead, it became a celebration of his release.
Former Australia national team captain Craig Foster had been a leader in the campaign for al-Araibi’s release and played for Pascoe Vale on Thursday.
“We’re all very worried about him,” Foster said. “He’s obviously riding on incredible adrenalin and elation. ”
“I would image … in the next week or two or three, he’s going to need some help. He’s been through an incredible ordeal and I think that’s exacerbated by the fact that he was a torture survivor previously,” Foster added.
Al-Araibi has said he was blindfolded and had his legs beaten while he was held in Bahrain previously. He said he believed he was targeted for arrest because of his Shiite faith and because his brother was politically active in Bahrain. Bahrain has a Shiite majority but is ruled by a Sunni monarchy.
Bahrain wanted him to serve a 10-year prison sentence in an arson attack that damaged a police station. He has denied those charges and says the case is politically motivated.
Al-Araibi was detained by mistake upon arrival in Bangkok on his honeymoon. Interpol rules do not allow refugees to be deported to the countries from where they fled persecution.
He was released when Thai authorities shared a letter indicating that Bahrain had withdrawn its request for al-Araibi.
Officials in Bahrain said the country “reaffirms its right to pursue all necessary legal actions against” al-Araibi.
Al-Araibi says he fled Bahrain because of political repression and that he fears torture if he returns.
Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit at the Chulalongkorn-Thammasat football match on Saturday.
BANGKOK — In the lead-up to the first election since social media fully bloomed in the country, every major party is competing for attention on the volatile Thai internet.
But it appears one party has inadvertently found itself at the center of a peculiar trend. #SkyLovesDaddy, a hashtag of affection for Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, has been trending for days and spawning endless internet jokes – even inviting a backlash from the pro-establishment camp.
“Literally came back to Twitter for #SkyLovesDaddy and @Thanathorn_FWP Gotta go all the way for our beloved country and the future of our children,” user Lady_Instinct tweeted in English.
“It cannot be denied that the #SkyLovesDaddy phenomenon is a return to popularity for Thanathorn … prior to this, his name went quiet and was only mentioned negatively,” an analysis published by news site Momentum declared.
It all started when Thanathorn – a Thammasat graduate – went to watch an annual football match between Thammasat and Chulalongkorn universities on Saturday, where he was mobbed by a large crowd of students excited to see a politician running for prime minister in their midst.
Students took selfies with the 40-year-old and posted them on social media, drawing many positive comments about his appearance and build. Some women, charmed by Thanathorn, compared him to a handsome sugar daddy in “Dok Som Sithong,” a popular 2011 TV lakorn.
In the drama, superstar actress Araya “Chompoo” Hargate plays Fah (“Sky”) whose seduction of a wealthy businessman is launched with the phrase, “Sky loves daddy.”
“Hot daddy realness is in the house! #SkyLovesDaddy,” one tweet said.
“Official fanclub name: Sky,” user @Gotgreatgirl tweeted.
In the four days since the hashtag was born, the attention Thanathorn’s Facebook page receives has increased by 38 percent, according to online metrics.

The digital obsession soon spread beyond his looks. Many users browsed Google to see who Thanathorn was and shared sound bites from his interviews under the hashtag – a boon for a party that has banked heavily on the new generation for support.
The trend drew a backlash from opponents of Thanathorn’s pro-democracy faction. A common allegation goes that gullible youth are being misled by looks.
In a poem posted online, Seri Wongmontha, a talk show host and military supporter, wrote online describing wanting to “vomit” when seeing youngsters falling for Thanathorn.
Even the author of the lakorn that gave birth to the popular phrase disowned its current embrace. “Dok Som Sithong” writer Salaya Sukanivatt took particular offense at an interview in which Thanathorn suggested Thai people like to smile because they can’t find answers when pressed on important issues such as human rights.
“A person with such prejudice and narrow-mindedness cannot be prime minister. Saying Thai people smile because they are stupid? What part of the brain did he use? It’s so clear his policies are written to look pretty and fool the stupid people (in his eyes),” Salaya said.
“Daddy please fight on ❤ I want daddy to be prime minister because of your policies, because of your thinking, because of your works and visions, not only because of your looks, despite what many old people say,” @Smyio24 tweeted.
One woman even wrote online that she signed up as a member of Future Forward Party after researching Thanathorn’s policies.
BANGKOK — Stress is among a number of symptoms the Food and Drug Administration is considering for treatment with medical cannabis, the regulator said Wednesday.
Following an amnesty plan announced yesterday for pot smokers, the administration’s chief executive said today that officials are making the final decisions on which diseases and symptoms will be included in guidelines for treatment, and what type of cannabis medications are needed for them.
According to Tares Krassanairawiwong, the administration is classifying potential valid conditions into into three groups.
The first includes those that existing scientific proof shows can be treated by marijuana: nausea in cancer patients, epilepsy in children unresponsive to other treatment, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain. The second are those for which cannabis can improve quality of life: Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, stress and terminally ill patients. The third group includes conditions for which cannabis would be an experimental treatment, such as the use of its extract to kill cancer cells.
Tares said the latter two groups will be more open and flexible in terms of regulation, but all patients need to be under medical care, whether by certified professionals or licensed traditional practitioners.
He added that the departments overseeing both modern and traditional medicine are working on their own lists of diseases and specific treatments for them.
Under the landmark decriminalization legislation passed by the interim assembly in late December, the FDA has the authority to regulate the use and distribution of medical cannabis.
