petedk Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I don't suppose many people will even bother to read this post as sadly, it is almost every day news in Thailand. It hasn't been mentioned in the news section here. What drew it to my attention was that is was mentioned on Sky News Tv and is reported in several foreign newspapers through Reuters. I think it is very sad when an accident of that magnitude is almost an every day affair that it isn't mentioned in Thai news. Anyway RIP to those that died and to all others - take care on the roads.

What is "Thai news"? Surely it is and will be reported widely, http://www.khaosod.co.th/view_newsonline.php?newsid=1450597344 http://www.nationtv.tv/main/content/crime/378482106/ http://www.nationtv.tv/main/content/crime/378482107/ http://www.innnews.co.th/shownews/show?newscode=666400 http://news.mthai.com/hot-news/general-news/473533.html http://news.sanook.com/1917770/ http://www.dailynews.co.th/regional/368191 http://www.krobkruakao.com/%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%8D%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1/150316/%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%88-%E0%B8%AD-%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B0%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%87%E0%B8%94-%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7-13-%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%9E.html No. 1 tabloid in Thailand, Thairath: http://www.thairath.co.th/content/551666 Video: http://www.thairath.co.th/clip/33579 Should be good for a start.

KhunBENQ Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Quite hidden in the Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai forums (not even in my filter). A national news and tragedy! Move! Edited December 20, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Ok. I am sorry I was too fast. I thought that the accident happened today and looked in "Thailand Live Sunday" and found nothing. I can speak Thai but not read and write, so I didn't look in the Thai language newspapers. The link provided in another post was in the local forum. I expected a story like this to be in the main Thailand Live section, but I guess there isn't much room for that as it full of English premier league news.

KhunBENQ Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) No need for excuse. Just a misunderstanding on my side. I didn't even check before whether it was in the usual forums (General, News). Was certain it would, hot topic. I assumed you want to say that Thais, Thai language media would not report. Of course they do. Edited December 20, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about the premier league news until I did a quick re-search. I am a football fanatic so I was being a little sarcastic. Anyway I get all my football news from other sources.
