trader1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Do you ever get the feeling that the Nation newspaper longs for the (good ol) days when communist activists were gaining a foothold in Thailand? I don't mean the property section which is essentially advertising cloaked in the newspapers format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 the major national newspapers do work for and are controlled by the government and the security services and in countries like thailand the US embassy military attache has a lot to say about the international and national policies - so your discoveries have more to do with the conspiracy theories than reality. thai and international property developers rather wouldn't sponsor a newspapers which would threaten their investments which can't be sold and moved out of the country within a day - if they are advertising there means they know more than you and don't worry about the newspaper policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alai wah? Don't think the commos ever even came close to gaining a foothold in Thailand. The Americans wouldn't let them -- I mean, where would they have gone for their R&R? Guam? Nah, Nation is just like every other newspaper in Thailand. Trying to make some kind of sense out of the political zoo. Poor basta*ds. They got no chance.
