‘She sounds strong’ Aung San Suu Kyi’s son, Kim Aris, spoke to his mother by phone for the first time in five years during a 20-minute call on Thursday. Aris said his mother sounded like herself and strong, though her voice was a little croaky. They discussed her health, including pain in her right hand, which she said could be tendonitis. Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained since the military coup in February 2021, also asked whether her son was looking after himself. #AungSanSuuKyi #Myanmar

Myanmar viewers question costumes in Thai series ‘Scarlet Heart Thailand’ The upcoming Thai historical fantasy series Scarlet Heart Thailand has sparked online debate after some Myanmar viewers said costumes and accessories featured in its teaser resemble those worn at the Myanmar royal court, particularly during the Konbaung dynasty. Produced by GMMTV, the series stars Win Metawin, Tu Tontawan, Nanon Korapat, Tay Tawan, Fourth Nattawat, Phuwin Tangsakyuen, Perth Tanapon and Force Jiratchapong. Adapted from the popular Chinese novel Bu Bu Jing Xin, the Thai version follows a modern woman who travels back in time and finds herself in the body of Fong Nuan, a woman from the fictional city of Wang Nam Lin. She becomes entangled in a struggle for power among seven princes, alongside a story of love and fate. Some Myanmar viewers have called on the production team to explain the historical and cultural references behind the costumes and accessories. An online petition campaign was launched on 20 October, urging the company to verify its historical research, clarify the sources of its designs and provide appropriate cultural credit. The claims and demands have so far come from some viewers, and further clarification and historical evidence from the production team are awaited. #ThailandNews #Myanmar
