I'm Newley Purnell, an American journalist in Bangkok. I report for Bloomberg BNA, ABC News Radio, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and more.

My work has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

I use this site to highlight my stories and point out interesting links that I come across during my research.

Most posts are about Thailand and Southeast Asia.
