Normal thing ,,, build up a business then sell it? No mention of Bht changing hands though ?

Maybe they  will make a full  explanation to us in time

 

It must be serious though. Have a look at the photo.

Real happy looking lot

The headline says Thai Visa has become part of Nation Group but then it says it's a collaboration.... So has Thai Visa been bought out or is it a content partnership?

MSM now?

Here goes to independence news information.

Don't hope but i'm afraid it will be much more censured.

 

 

huh? wasn't it already associated with the Nation?

 

Quote

The first initiative will be an integration of Thailand’s news and content from The Nation on the web pages of Thaivisa.com – a move which will serve both readers wanting more Thai content and marketers wanting to reach this group of customers.

errr.... a clear separation of advertising/marketing/PR from news is in order.

I've made a new logo. What do you think?
I know, too camp!

Congrats and best wishes to Thai Visa and its staff. Fight the good fight.

What about this one?

Never paid attention or looked at the Nation much, but there's a link to ThaiVisa on the top of their homepage.  Not sure if that's a new thing.

Wonder if this will impact what news sources are aggregated here and what sources forum members are allowed to link to...

It probably means half of TV members will end up in prison for criticising the junta,maybe time to open a new  platform for expats

The Nation is the lessor of the two English dailies by a margin and its content is fairly conservative and unquestioning of the powers that rule, so one can probably expect a tightening of allowed opinion here I'd imagine.

I think your right. A lot of site are apologetic and give you the disclaimer that they are sorry for the advertising but it is needed to fund the information provided.

You guys are really stingy with the likes here. He is the gift that just keeps on giving. Give Rooster a raise to. 

More advertisers? Can hardly read the pages now on my laptop with adverts encroaching onto, or encircling things.

 

Any more and I might have to go back to disabling java script.

Maybe they will pass on all the good ideas that crop up on here daily to the Junta, it'd be good to have the ear of our illustrious leader  

Not a good sign...corporate control and the censorship that goes with it. Not what expat blogs need.

Is this merger promoted by the govt?

Yeah - thinking now more than ever, it is time to be VERY aware of what is said here. 

Gee whiz...

 

Does this mean The Nation gets to see everyone's email, account info and IP address here on TV?

 

Where will the servers be located now?

Square peg round hole me thinks.....but could be wrong.

 

In the main the good informative side of Tvisa should remain, and do we really need the 'rants', I feel discussion maybe more 'contained'

 

Would prefer the news to be more Thailand based too fed up seeing Trump/Brexit threads running amok 

You should be so lucky Brexit which severs our UK free trade access to 500 million consumers is bad news here and there. The pound keeps sinking, UK will get pricey because of higher prices, wages and pensions shrink in purchasing power. Services and tax revenues will decline. Get real for Brits it's down hill for next 5 to 10 years. Less tourists too probably. P.S. Always look on the bright side of life

Will we all need a government license to post in the future like the "journalists" of the nation?

Although you might feel important with breaking news posts from Hua Hin seafront or News Flashes from the swamps of Bang Kair or eye witness accounts from Walking Street. Your actually of no interest at all to Central Intelligence Agencies.

Unless you have uncovered a government scandal, have evidence to cause damage to the government or have access to extreme wealth, then I'm sorry to say that no one wants to track you down.

Unless you click a "Like" on the wrong Facebook page. Or publish any satire or parody of a particular leader.  Or try to engage in a public protest over anything that isn't allowed to be protested about, etc etc etc.  In those cases, you're apt to find a police squad knocking on your door early some morning.
