What Makes Thailand so Appealing to the Global Press?

Thailand Make International News Seemingly Every Week

 

The British press must have no local stories at the moment as most days they report on something from Thailand.

 

Stories of a British tourist who has had a motorbike accident and now cannot get home, or yet another story about the neon lights of Walking Street in Pattaya. But maybe this attention is due to the very unique appeal of areas like Pattaya and Bangkok?

 

International press will always like a story on Thailand, after all it is so popular with international travelers. Take the UK for example, where it is behind only Spain as an international holiday destination now. They therefore know their readers will be interested in stories from these shores.

News Stories with a Plot and Story Line like no where else

 

What also makes these stories so appealing is that, quite frankly, there are so many of them that come out of Thailand that has a plot and story line that you would not get anywhere else. Everywhere you look from the Kho Tao murders, the ‘Battle of Bintabat’ in Hua Hin where an elderly UK family were beaten up and kicked whilst on the floor, to bombings and the likes, there is a story sure to make big headlines anywhere in the world.

There is little point to this other than as a bit of marketing fluff. I have no idea what the British press are publishing about Thailand, but going on previous postings on other forums, it seems there is almost no interest in the country in the UK.

Maybe the same as a very good informative Thai website i once knew that now seems to publish more and more world news and Premier League football results

Because if something happens in some other country, police will silently arrest involved people, keep information silence and release some dull official statement that they're working on it.

 

In Thailand you will get big press conference 2 hours later, with arrested and already convicted criminals, press will get photos of crime scenes with dead bodies still in there, photos of victims passports and IDs, information about crime is released into press earlier then police even arrive at the scene. Next day officials will reconstruct crime with press present and let them take video/photos. And of course 3 months later investigation is stopped or turned over at victims. Which gives story an interesting ending.

I think I know the site you're talking about. Is it the one that's been putting more and more ads for it's related businesses in the headline news?

A good posting,or what.....................lol

BBC has a couple of reports every week, because there is always a story available to report, either of a nasty expat death or a farcical attempt by the government to deny the latest cock up.
