What happened to the Walking Street Journal and Pattaya Times?

Don't know to be honest but not a great loss on the news paper scene anyway.

The paper folded a year or two ago and the online version followed last October.

The "most credible, friendly, reassuring" ex-publisher of Pattaya Times was recently convicted of extortion; a fact that was not as widely reported as it should have been.

One down, several more to go.

That's right, the 2 topics opened (one by me) about this fine gentleman after his conviction was immediately closed, I would really really like to know why?

I miss the stories and jokes in the WSJ. Is there room for a new WSJ type newspaper in Pattaya?

WSJ had some "decent" adult jokes but most of it was trash..totally degraded Thai women (rude and crude) and basically misrepresented (I hope) how most Western men look at women--not thinking Thai bar girls are like one of those blow-up dolls to release ones "desires" with. The 3 expats involved with this garbage was lucky some motorcycle guy didn't knock them off.

WSJ was so obnoxious.... I loved it. Reminded me at times of National Lampoon. I saved a few copies (wish I'd saved more).

Rupert Murdoch would beg to differ.

The PT had a column ask Drew Noyes giving investment and legal advice. Did anybody take advantage of the info?

Last year I saw another of those papers (PP) at foodland and BKK bank in large numbers and you could just take a copy for free.

Most don't bother with hard copies anymore when you got e-net.

Was PT the second largest English language newspaper in Thailand. Is that a fact?
