[1][2] Since 1996 they have published a column under this name in the English-language newspaper The Nation, writing about current political and social developments and events in Thailand.
Their topics include criminal and political activities of so-called "godfathers", dam projects and environment, corruption and fraud cases, superstitious and spiritualistic beliefs and practice of important actors, the rise of nationalistic resentments after the crisis, hypocritical reactions towards the purported moral decline, political murder, extrajudicial killings during the "War on Drugs", obstruction of the work of activists and NGOs and other examples of authoritarian, suppressive and exclusionary tendencies in Thai politics.
[3][4] According to the authors' concept, the "little elephant" "stomp(s) around" the "jungle" of Thai politics, "kicking up leaves, overturning rotten wood, and trumpeting in distress".
They have rarely conveyed their own views directly, but preferred to cite other critics or put opinions into the mouth of fictitious discussants.
As a background for the understanding of current events, "Chang Noi" have also provided retrospectives of the modern Thai history, going back as far as to the end of absolute monarchy in Siam 1932.
