Microwave Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Many thanks to Thaivisa.com for the daily updates and news stories over the past 6 - 8 weeks. It would have been difficult if not impossible to keep up with the situation in Bangkok and the provinces without your input. I hope that the daily updates continue for awhile longer as the situation throughout Thailand is still quite fluid. Thanks!

Langsuan Man Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I will join Microwave in the thank you's to Thai Visa, without the Bangkok Red-Shirt Rally - Live it would have been impossible to know what was going on since Thai TV IMHO was horrible Kudos to all involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolt Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 +1 to this. The Thaivisa updates and member contributions have been a lifesaver, quite literally, to follow up the situation minute by minute and avoid putting myself & my wife in danger. Big thanks go to George and the Thaivisa team for the work they put in coordinating all these news streams from different sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNF55 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Same here. We were caught at Rajprarop for 4 days, could not get out of the house. We really depended on Thai Visa to find out what actually happened around us. Thanks everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Two things: 1. Well done to george, webfact and the mods (kiss kiss ), especially found the twitter updates useful. 2. On a lighter note, nothing like a war to raise the ratings (see cnn 1991) and membership numbers (that click you here is not a cash machine ? Perhaps its time to change the daily update heading though, rally is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Good Job George and Webfact. Next time I see you - need to send some lager/wine your way.

Ulysses G. Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thai visa really is a godsend in times like these. It is so nice to have some idea of what is really going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spee Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Dittos from me as well .... helped me to monitor things from afar as well as keep family members from drinking too much koolaid from the western media. While I hope the worst is over, let's keep in mind that the embers are unfortunately still smoldering and there are still risks. See my post about Ayutthaya in Central Thailand Forum. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Edited May 21, 2010 by Spee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Thankyou Thai Visa Fantastic work with the updates Webfact, George & the entire team.

Spiny Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It's a pity the reporters from the western media didn't read the ThaiVisa thread before giving their "expert" observations. More balanced reporting may have emerged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdenner Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 A special thank you from me and the guys (computer illiterates) I passed on information to, from your site, here in the sticks. Without you guys we would have been clueless as to current events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinavet Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Full kudos to TV. I had to leave Thailand mid-May. I am in China with no access to Twitter, Facebook or even my Google Picasa photo website. TV was by far the best source of information available. We have seen a lot of extremist and non-sensical posts from both sides of the fence, to the point many members with worthwhile input clearly gave up, much to the detriment and value of the forum. At times, the sheer volume of posts made it necessary to skip several pages just to stay current. It would be great if each post had a 'grading' option that could be used with an optional filter function to return only posts from members that maintain a level of approval.
