bmanly Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi everyone, my Thai wife is at her wits end here in Australia as she can not read her favourite newspapers online anymore. It all stopped happening around Christmas time. Could some of you try accessing these newspapers outside of Thailand and tell me how you go. If you are in Australia that would be even better as that is where our problem is occurring. The newspapers in Question are the following: Komchadluek Dailynews Kow-Krua Have these been blocked or are the not servicing the net community anymore? Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udon Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 No probs accessing all 3 Bill. Who is your ISP? What happens when you try to access them? Kow-Krua is a strange site, what is it? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmanly Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Well I never thought it would be on my end as I get everything else including Bangkok Post and Pattaya Mail. My service provider is iinet ADSL. When I click on the sites it just freezes like it's trying to download them but never does, funny thing though, the Thairath newspaper downloads fine? That Kow-Krua I think is home and family kind of stuff. Looks like I got to muck around with some settings, but where and what, here we go again. Cheers and thanks.

bmanly Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 OK, this is turning into an internet problem. I have tried turning off McAfee and I have emptied the cache but I can not find the cause of it not dowmloading on my PC yet others don't have the problem. Any ideas are greatly accepted.

katana Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Can you access Komchadluek when you type 202.60.196.116 in your browser address bar? There's also a Flash animation on that page that seems to load first. Do you have Flash installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmanly Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Thanks to everybody who tried to help here. It is a bit hit and miss, sometimes you get them and sometimes not. Patience is a virtue and having 5 newspapers in your bookmarks should ensure at least 1 might work at any one time, right now I am getting the lot. Cheers.

Youbloodybeauty Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) I can'y get them either, and I'm in the US. But I have a program called Proxomitron installed on my computer that could be the culprit here. Bmanly, As I mentioned, I also had trouble except for the Manager site like you. If you are using some adblocker software, that might be the problem because as Mogoso writes he uses Proxomitron and I use AdMuncher. As soon as I disabled it I could view all the sites. Cheers YBB Edit: BTW would you or anyone know if there is a site with Thai News with the daily highlights by video? Something like this http://www.abc.com.au/broadband/categories/ Edited January 7, 2006 by Youbloodybeauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is listening to it now. In Sydney it is FM 97.7, other states would have it too but you need to look it up on their website for the frequency. Cheers.
