It was sad to learn of the passing of former Bangkok Post colleague Anussorn Thavisin earlier this week at the age of 79. I had known Anussorn for 50 years and apart from him being a really nice chap with a lovely sense of humour, he was also an accomplished journalist widely admired by everyone in the profession.
Anussorn joined the Post back in 1971, less than two years after me, so as regards to news events we experienced much the same things over the subsequent five decades including assorted coups, floods and dramas unique to Thailand. He was always so cheerful and positive and certainly raised my spirits on occasions when I was down in the dumps.
