I've not seen it for a while Boater.(Mind you, I do not go to the airport very often.)

It seems that Samui cannot support a regular publication of almost any kind. Real news would be good but........

Not sure what they push at the airport now, but you cannot even pick up a map of Samui the last few times that I was there.

Not just there magazine but it appears quite a few other publications are gone as well. Realistically no real viable business model

well, getting the adverts was easy.. getting paid for them was another story

At this point I think Bkk Airs in flight mag is the longest running publication on the island and the ad space is dear. I think it would be interesting to do a where are they now from this mags ads; Coco property, etc ....

Yeah well the fah thai bangkok airways ad the prices run 30,000 baht for 1 page, and per month. So dont think they will go out of business anytime soon.

As for other publications im not sure this is fair to say but it seems they only target people who could only read English and were placed in areas of low volume distribution. Also many of these so called magazines were put in many hotels but I hardly ever saw anyone bother to read them or even pick them up.

Fah Thai is about 65,000 for a full page per month or 130,000 per issue. (2 month) Essential has folded a while ago and the guy who ran it ran as well......
