bangkokjane Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Whatever happened to Farang magazine. My friends told me to get it when I arrived in Bangkok but can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boppia Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've wondered about that too. Well, there are possibilities. Let's see.. First, Thaksin may have shut it down. It might have jumped off the balcony of a tall Pattaya skyscraper. Is there a new law in Thailand against having a farang name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dan Sai Kid Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think it changed it's name to "Untamed Travel". I didn't read it before, but it seems like it is spread a little too thinly - it's about all of SE Asia now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was still "Farang Magazine" it was an excellent read, aimed primarily at Thailand. No it's just so-so. I used to always get a copy when I ventured into Bangers, now I don't bother.

boppia Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That name seems a bit limp to me. It doesn't sound even the slightest bit interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulmercke Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) UPDATE: Untamed Travel (formerly Farang magazine) appears to be no longer available. I tried both Bookazine and Asia books this week who normally stock the magazine and it wasn't available - they informed me that they hadn't received any copies for a couple of months now. Also, Metro magazine appears to have disappeared from the shelves. Anyone have any info? Edited March 22, 2007 by bulmercke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmei Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) I heard a rumour about Untamed.............. some new owners............. Metro magazine I think has closed down. OP, depending on what you're after you may want to try: Bangkok 101 available Kinokuniya, Asiabooks etc. BK magazine: weekly freebie found in e.g. au bon pain, starbucks Guru magazine: weekly with Bangkok Post on Fridays (I think) Edited March 22, 2007 by bkkmei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
