Every headline satisfies an opinion. Except ours.
Remember when the news was about what happened, not how to feel about it? 1440's Daily Digest is bringing that back. Every morning, they sift through 100+ sources to deliver a concise, unbiased briefing — no pundits, no paywalls, no politics. Just the facts, all in five minutes. For free.
🇹🇭 Hello, welcome!
Take a look inside kaa. Here's what I have for you today:
I counted this week. I've written over 100 newsletters about Thailand.
The UV light hotel post. The mapped guide to the best restaurants in the country. The green sign every tourist walks past. The shrimp that were still jumping when I ate them.
Every email I send you has ads in it.
That's the trade that keeps this newsletter free.
Now, there's a second option.
It's called “Focused Farang“, the new paid tier of this newsletter.
You get two things:
every email, ad-free
full access to the growing archive, currently 100+ articles, which is now members only
Yes, you will still receive my emails for free if you don’t upgrade.
But if you want to keep the newsletter alive, you can now choose how you would like to support my publication. With clicks on ads, or with less than a lady drink.
It's $3 a month or $30 a year (save two months).
If you'd rather read without ads and keep the archive in your pocket, upgrade here.
If the ads don't bother you, mai pen rai. The free weekly emails keep coming either way.
The California governor primary is live. So is the 2028 race. And the Billboard Hot 100. Real money. Real odds. No house edge. Kalshi — trade what you know.
💬 And there’s one more thing:
I created a new (free) Thailand Community for newsletter subscribers. It’s like a social media platform without an algorithm. Every member has their own profile, and you can follow the people you want to hear more from to personalize your feed.
It comes with a complete messaging suite, so members can connect through direct messages or spin up group chats.
I created some channels like Travel Planning, Food, Safety, Bangkok, Ko Chang – and a Channel Request channel where you can ask for new channel topics.
See you inside kaa…
Chokdee!
