In this special Year in Review episode of #TheSignal, we cut through the noise to examine the stories from Thailand that defined the year — not just in headlines, but in impact.
👑 An end of an era: A nation mourns the passing of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, and
reflects on a legacy that shaped modern Thailand.
🌏 Unprecedented disasters: From generational earthquakes to historic flooding, 2025
exposed deep vulnerabilities in preparedness and response.
⚖️ Power held to account: Thaksin Shinawatra’s imprisonment sent shockwaves through
Thailand’s political establishment.

dissolved parliament, we’re back at the polls for 2026.
