Toyota revealed that it will begin manufacturing the Prius in Thailand come November 2010. The car will be built at the firm's Gateway Plant near Bangkok, where the Corolla, Camry, Camry Hybrid and other models are built. Thailand will be the third country to make Toyota's popular hybrid after Japan and China.

 

The company said the decision was made as part of its effort to further popularize hybrid vehicles worldwide. Toyota Motor Thailand Co. President Kyoichi Tanada commented, "With its excellent environmental performance, design and advanced technologies, we hope the Prius provides even more people in Thailand with the joys of driving." Toyota did not reveal how many Prius vehicles will be built at the Thai plant, but a company spokesman said production is for the local market. However, I won

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks.

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling.

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 1

    It used to be that when a person was visiting China for the first time, the natural choice was Beijing. No better way to learn about a country than a visit to its capital, amirite? Having had their fill of Peking duck and climbed the Great Wall of China, the next places they would likely look at are those on the east coast - Shanghai, Nanjing, perhaps Harbin. In recent times though, the southwestern parts of China have gotten much coverage on social media. Chongqing, the country’s largest c
