One of the few reasons to read the newspaper we can't quote or link to on this forum, seems to have disappeared.

He has/had a regular Sunday column, and then one on Thursday that was only in the online edition.

But nothing there right now for Thursday, and trying to check his previous columns, on the Opinion page where all the columnists are listed, his name seems to have been removed:

• Popular writers
• • Wassana Nanuam
• • Terry Fredrickson
• • Amornrat Mahitthirook
• • Patsara Jikkham
• • Boonsong Kositchotethana
• • Richard Leu
• • Arusa Pisuthipan
• • Veera Prateepchaikul

Anyone have any info or speculations?

Roger Crutchley ?

Times are a changing.....

Voronai Vanijaka

Trink?

Voronai Vanijaka

Sued for libel, if what i read is correct.

Anyway ...his colums were alot better 4/5 years ago. Without much of his political rifraf. He on a way opened, more confirmed, my eyes on thai culture and society.

Trink?

Back in the early nineties when I lived in Bangkok and spent the weekends in Hua Hin, I always enjoyed reading his column in the train on Saturday. Later gradually it became less and less interesting, him plugging the same places too often, and too much Burma Shave. Always wondered if announcements like "Ross and Terry of the Butterfly and Whistle Bar are throwing a free roast on Saturday 18 on the occasion of Terry's birthday" attracted many freeloaders.

He definitely enriched Expat's English with expressions like "Oh well", "Nuff said" and "I don't give a hood".

After having contributed to the newspaper for such a long time, he wasn't given the chance to say a proper goodbye, without any announcement all of a sudden the column just disappeared.

Has an article on BP dated only 5 days ago on the 13th (Sunday).

Got a private email from Khun Voronai, indicating that he didn't feel like writing over the Songkran holiday. And he is now freelance, so not listed as one of the full time employees.

We can expect more from him this Sunday.

Voronai, I like his , columns, and usually agree with him. He always answers his emails, I don't know how he has the time.

Supposedly, Trink was being censored more and more, so the column became progressively more boring. It was fun when I first got here and everyone had to read it.
