December is the month we collectively pretend calories, bedtime and moderation are myths. The parties multiply, the desserts call your name and self-control quietly packs its bags until January.

You simply need to maintain a steady routine and stay mindful, so you can recognise when you’re slipping and get back on course.

Phuket is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, yet every day its beauty faces a momentous challenge… litter. We see it on the roadside, on our beaches, outside shops and piled up right next to the bin. It doesn’t come from bad people, it comes from habits. From disconnection. From when we forget that what we drop doesn’t disappear, it just becomes someone else’s problem.

One of my fondest memories as a child is discovering the magic of movies through my parents.

Are we evolving backwards?

Phuket Life / Health

Sunday 2 November 2025 11:00 AM

Humans spent millions of years evolving to stand tall – hunting, gathering, farming and building civilisations. And now?
