Kasikornbank CEO Kattiya Indaravijaya.  Pornprom Satrabhaya After less than a year at the helm of Kasikornbank (KBank) as chief executive, Kattiya Indaravijaya says it is too early to discuss her achievements. But the promotion in April last year has already cemented Ms Kattiya's success after dedicating her whole career to KBank. Kattiya, 55, is the first female chief executive of KBank, the country's second commercial lender by total assets and ranked in the top position in terms of digital banking services. She is also the first chief executive from outside the Lamsam family, replacing Banthoon Lamsam, since the bank's inception 75 years ago when it was known as the Thai Farmers Bank. Ms Kattiya started her career with the bank 34 years ago as KBank's relations manager for the manufacturing and agriculture lending department. Her responsibilities included credit analysis of various companies and evaluating project feasibility. The role required collecting a massive ... » Learn More about Aiming for inclusion

PUNE, India (Reuters) - Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes displayed audacious strokeplay during a 175-run stand against India in the second one-day international to help England chase down a steep 337-run target with ease for a series-levelling six-wicket victory on Friday. Opening batsman Bairstow smashed seven sixes and 11 fours in his knock of 124 while Stokes hit 10 sixes and four fours before falling one short of a deserved century as the touring side reached their target with 39 balls to spare. India batsman KL Rahul earlier continued to make the most of his return to form with a century, anchoring the innings with a classy 108 to help the hosts reach 336-6 after England's stand-in captain Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to field. England made three changes to the side that lost the opening ODI by 66 runs, drafting in Dawid Malan, debutant Liam Livingstone and fast bowler Reece Topley. India's total never looked out of reach for England's batting lineup after ... » Learn More about Cricket-Bairstow, Stokes blast England to series-levelling win over India

PUNE, India: India seamers Shardul Thakur and Bhuvneshwar Kumar snared seven wickets between them to help the hosts beat England by seven runs in a thrilling third one-day international on Sunday and win the series 2-1. England's chase of 330 appeared all but over when they were reduced to 257-8 in the 40th over but Sam Curran and Mark Wood, who made 14, kept their side in the hunt with a stubborn 60-run stand for the ninth wicket. All-rounder Curran, who was dropped on 22 and then again on 87, remained unbeaten on a career-best 95 but could not hit the required 14 runs in the final over with England finishing on 322-9. On a sweltering day in the western Indian city of Pune, the hosts were dismissed for 329 after being put in to bat with Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya scoring half-centuries. The target did not appear too imposing for England, who chased down 337 with 39 deliveries remaining in the previous match, but Kumar's early breakthroughs put the ... » Learn More about Cricket-Seamers help India clinch thriller and series despite Curran heroics

Phuket NEWS Hound – A daily, pocket-sized packet of news from around the world, compiled by Phuket Gazette reporters for foreigners who want it short, sharp and straight to the point. PHUKET: While not all is well in Thailand, with fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra threatening to incite civil disobedience nationwide [see story below], Phuket continues to generate favorable press – and not only of the vapid variety. Phuket’s boutique hotelier and gourmet restaurateur Mom Tri Devakul landed in the pages of the New York Times earlier this week when travel writer Ingrid Williams named 12 things not to be missed during a visit to the island province.

Just three months into the year, India has already recorded half a dozen deaths by people taking selfies. And that’s just the ones that are recorded. Police officials say the number of selfie fatalities could be much higher, possibly in the thousands, as many cases go unreported and “death by selfie” is not recognised as an official cause of death. Around the world, the simple act of snapping photos of oneself has become such a life-threatening activity, some refer to it as a “killfie”. The scourge of deaths by selfies is particularly concentrated in India, which has in recent years become dubbed the “selfie death capital of the world”. Earlier this month, two teenagers drowned in a pond while taking a selfie in the northern city of Agra. In another incident, a young person’s video capturing his dangerous stunts on a local train in Mumbai went viral last month, triggering national outrage. In the eastern state of Orissa, a 27-year-old woman drowned in a river after she slipped ... » Learn More about India begs youths to ‘selfie responsibly’ amid efforts to combat killer trend

Pattaya CC and Royal Star CC defeated by the weather at Pattana Sports Resort on 4 April 2021 This was another must-win match for PCC to ensure their top 4 finish in the Bangkok Cricket League (BCL).  A loss would be catastrophic and a draw would be problematic.  The weather was muggy and very overcast with heavy rain forecast from 10:00 am.  It became evident that PCC doesn’t like mornings. Royal Star won the toss and decided to bat.  Neeraj Patel and Shyenish Maheswar opened for Royal Star against Ryan Driver and Matt Harkness.  Ryan’s first over went for a single, pretty normal for PCC’s principal bowler, but the others were subject to unfamiliar punishment.  Matt Harkness got the same treatment as Neeraj and Shyenish went on the rampage. Extras in the form of wides and No Balls certainly did not help as the bowlers seemed to have left their bowling arms at home. After 5 overs and 35 runs, Simon Philbrook rang the changes, with Ian Liddell and Chris Lindop, but Royal Star ... » Learn More about Pattaya Cricket Club and Royal Star CC defeated by the weather at Pattana Sports Resort

It’s hard to tell since they weren’t directly compared in studies. But experts say the vaccines are alike on what matters most: preventing hospitalizations and deaths. “Luckily, all these vaccines look like they’re protecting us from severe disease,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, citing study results for five vaccines used around the world and a sixth that’s still in review. And real-world evidence as millions of people receive the vaccines show they’re all working very well. Still, people might wonder if one is better than another since studies conducted before the vaccines were rolled out found varying levels of effectiveness. The problem is they don’t offer apples-to-apples comparisons. Consider the two-dose vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, found to be about 95-percent effective at preventing illness. Studies for those shots counted a Covid-19 case whether it was mild, moderate or severe — and were conducted before worrisome mutated ... » Learn More about Are some Covid-19 vaccines more effective than others?

NEW DELHI: India's daily coronavirus cases on Saturday (Apr 10) rose by a record for the fifth time this week and deaths surged to the highest in more than five months, with hospitals and crematoriums overflowing in parts of the country. New cases in the world's second-most populous country have totalled the most of anywhere in the world over the last two weeks. India's overall tally of 13.21 million is the third-highest globally, just shy of Brazil and below the worst affected country, the United States. The second surge in infections, which has spread much more rapidly than the first one that peaked in September, has forced many states to impose fresh curbs but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to impose a national lockdown given the high economic costs. Authorities in Maharashtra, the Indian state with the highest cases, have ordered a weekend lockdown that will end early on Monday. Mega cities such as Mumbai, the country's financial centre and Maharashtra's capital, ... » Learn More about India’s daily COVID-19 cases rise to record for fifth time this week
