Prinn Panitchpakdi, the now-former Democrat deputy leader has been accused of sexual harrasement by at least 16 women thus far. This happened after an 18-year-old student lodged a complaint against him for sexually harassing her during their meeting the night before at a Bangkok Hotel on April 12, 2022. Following this complaint, many survivors are now stepping forward with their stories. This incident is triggering what many are calling - the country’s highest profile #MeToo case.

June 9 was a historic day for stoners all over Thailand, as cannabis became officially decriminalized in the kingdom. The entirety of the plant is legal, but extracts containing more than 0.2% and smoking in public is still prohibited. People can now grow, possess and sell cannabis—though the government insists that it should be intended for “medical purposes only,” interpretations seem to vary. Since the decriminalization, scores of cannabis dispensaries quickly popped up across the country. However, without clear regulations or guidelines, the industry experienced several weeks of a legal free-for-all—much to the disdain of critics. Since then, some regulations have been put forth. For example, vendors must now obtain permits to sell cannabis. As of publishing, however, the legal framework around the production, use, and sale of cannabis still remains largely unclear. One of the key players in the country’s budding cannabis industry is the advocacy group, Highland. What started as a Facebook page 10 years ago has now grown to the biggest 4/20 festival Thailand has ever seen. Meet Arun "Max" Avery, and Rattapon "Guide" Sanrak, and Chaiwat “Wat” Banjai, co-founders of Highland Café. It's one of the country's most famous legal dispensaries that now also sells buds, much to the delight of the hundreds of customers lined up outside their doors.

What role do traditions play in women’s lives? Is it important to move away from one's roots to lead an independent, self-determined life? Or is it more that the roots themselves provide a secure basis to move ahead? Three women from different Asian countries share their stories on what roots and tradition mean to them. HER sheds a light on how traditions and roots can have such different meanings. For example for Lauren Sevilla Faustino who decided to leave her modern life in Manila. And then there is the story from Thailand of Andrew’s journey leaving his roots and transitioning to Anne. And Medhavi Gandhi from India whose work is all about exploring roots. HER portrays the lives of women from all spheres of Asian societies, featuring protagonists from Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. In each episode, three women give their perspectives on universal, existential and crucial topics such as careers in male dominated professions, motherhood, money and self-expression.
