The clip is a Facebook video, so you may need Facebook on your device for it to work. Our team have asked Surf Radio to make it in another format (audio only).

Not much will change immediately, we are always improving moderation and content. The whole team is staiying, of course, we have been waiting for this for a long time.

 

Forum structure will change a bit, better navigation etc. We need a better home page, better cloud hosting etc etc.

We will share a few positive news in mid May.

After listening to the interview:

 

a. We will have one company, and two different publications (or domains).

 

b.  One corporation and two products?

 

c.  Sort of like...

 

1. Fanta  (The Orange One)

Choose your poison?

 

No.

I will continue to just carry on, as usual, on ThaiVisa...

Forever....

 

Stay calm.

Carry On......

Do you have a proper company doing the cloud migration for you?

It sounds strange but I've seen comments from members saying Facebook is not allowed on Asean Now forums.

 

I reckon it's time for those members to get Facebook if they don't have. 

 

Lots of great groups on Facebook, I use Facebook regularly, house renovations Thailand, different Australian groups to join, xDiavel and Diavel owners group, Jeremy Clarkson, Pattaya restaurants and property, even a Wise group to ask questions.

How cool, I switched to surf fm (I just heard the George interview for those of you without Facebook), they played waiting for a train by flash and the pan, haven't heard for ages. 

 

Looks like I'm listening to SURF now, changing from Pattaya FM103.

And I bet you are one of the complainers saying that you can't view a link because you don't have Facebook.

 

Yep, lots of you people here.

How much do you want to lose?  I didn't even bother to look. 

Having expressed a personal view on your specific comment I am a little disappointed to then be effectively insulted. Since you know little about me I am intrigued by what is meant by

"Unique content"? That made me chuckle. Thaiger just churns out re-spun ChatGTP (AI) dribble. It's awful. I'm surprised a younger, more innovative company hasn't moved into this space to dominate; it's ripe for the picking.

I wonder daily why not all those full time website builders thailand is rich off, did not create something totally new, if it is such a goldmine with many many many ads and a little copy paste content

That is not the principal reason. The media environment has changed. Chat rooms and webforums were very popular back in the 1990's and even into the early 2000's they hung on, and then chatrooms died. Many years ago there was Bangkok Chat. It was spun off from ThaiVisa. Then along came apps like Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Rome, Cupid, Match, Badoo  Zoosk and many others. And then Line and WhatsApp appeared. These all put the pressure and eventually killed online chatrooms. And now  even these websites are facing competitive pressures as newer more targeted  websites like Only Fans have started up. Web forums outside of specialty areas are a dying activity.

As I cannot read Thai, thanks to AseanNow's Thailand News section I get to read a lot of news about Thailand which otherwise I would not see. Yes, it is mostly AI-generated adaptations from Thai language sources and and other English language publications may have most of it too, but here I have it all in one place without having to load other news websites.

 

No complaints from me.

There's a space for forums, like i say further up, facebook although very good, mostly short posts, not the same thing, but the other forum i was talking about chased a lot of interesting posters away over the years so now it's almost dead

“… a FEW positive news…” reflects the poor English displayed in the content of this digital publication but I guess acceptable for most readers…??
