The Weird & Wondrous of 2022: Coconuts’ most read stories of the year

Twenty-twenty-two has been quite a year. While the Covid-19 pandemic is on the retreat, in Southeast Asia it feels less like the world is returning to normal and more like we’re still riding the chaos rollercoaster. Marijuana legalized in Thailand? The Marcos family returned to power in the Philippines? Things that would’ve been impossible to predict just a few years ago have passed into reality. So much change in such a short time can be hard to wrap your head around.

Fortunately, Coconuts specializes in documenting the weird and the wondrous, which is exactly what we did this year. Among the hundreds of stories we’ve published in 2022, these are the ten that our loyal readers clicked on the most:    

From the Coconuts crew to all of you Coconauts out there, we look forward to sharing more weird and wonderous stories from Southeast Asia with all of you in 2023. Thanks for reading and happy holidays!
