Is Thailand Banning/Blocking/Censoring The Following Sites?

[newbegin4]

I have tried to reach the following sites using IE, Chrome, Firefox and Netscape over several days via both TOT and TTT/3BB. Is it just me or are they blocked countrywide?

• http://www.xoom.com
  
• http://www.nranews.com
  

If several people could try the above links I'd appreciate it very much. Please let me know what happened and what ISP you are using, thanks!

Just accessed both sites via XP, Chrome and TOT. No problems.

[maibork]

both sites work fine...

I'm using True Internet in Bangkok

[Tywais]

No problem using 3BB in Chiang Mai.

[CharlieH]

No problem on CAT

[Sateev]

Accessed both.

On a side note, I wouldn't use Xoom again, even if they'd let me. I used them to send money to my wife before we were married, and they closed my account, no reason, just "Because we can." I had been using them for over two years.

Switched to Remithome.com, and, although there is no need anymore (we're both in Thailand now, married), while I used them, they were perfect.

My (unsolicited) $0.02.

Works fine for me too.

Try changing your DNS settings to use Google - sometimes that helps with "blocked" sites. Search "use Google DNS"

Thanks all! Well I guess it was just me! Thanks also for the tip about using the Google DNS. I'll look into that.
