No explanation or reason why. Some believe that it might be the latest attach on the His majesty the King of Thailand in one video that was upload to Thailand that cause the block. But as they do not confirm or deny the face that the site is blocked no one knows the reason yet.

We have opened a sister site at Bangkok Events and we hope you like it as much as you like this site. We wanted to write more about the life in Thailand on Personal Thailand and not so much about the news and what’s going on in Thailand. So we decided to open another blog where all the news will be presented but it will be off course with out personal touch. If you want to have this news on your website then please contact us or the staff at Bangkok Events and we will free of charge help you install our RSS on your site. The Thailand news website is daily updated and will cover Thailand in full and also some news that you won’t find in the English speaking news papers in Thailand because of the military censorship.

A Swedish picture company has sent out advertising to its customer that includes a western man talking with prostitutes in a bar in Pat Pong Bangkok Thailand. The text under the pictures says “Swedish CEO has greater experience in international relationship then the other Nordic neighbors”. Well sure that is true and it also true that there is more Swedish people in Pat Pong then men coming from Finland and Norway. But the picture has off course met mixed reactions and now some people that got the advertisement has field a complaint with the government in Sweden. Even if the company CEO says it has nothing to do with sex if you search on the companies’ website for just sex, erotic and prostitution you will find this picture.

Former PM Thaksin of Thailand and his wife now have to make visa runs as a ordinary Thai. The ruling government has revoked his diplomatic passport for him and his wife. The former PM of Thailand was last seen mingling with PM for Singapore but told reporters that the meeting was unofficial.

The ruling military government have demanded or asked in a demanding way that the media should stop reporting about Thaksin, something that the media totally ignored off course because any news from the former PM sells.

Thaksins children have been in the spotlight as well because off they are suspected of massive tax fraud. Their game plan is to blame it all on the secretary of the former PM and let her answer all the questions. In a normal case if you sign something you have to stand up for it even when trouble time comes and I doubt that they can avoid prosecuting blaming some secretary.
