trainman34014 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 ''Freedom of the Press'' has never been allowed in Thailand and never will be, as 'The Elite' are so worried about their 'Face' that they have their heads firmly wedged in their Rectums !

This country's rapidly sliding down the clodgey and I can't see the next government slowing the slide . . . probably just the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite so, B - nothing other than cheap-skate, short-cut taking (like Thai drivers negotiating junctions) reporting. There should be a law aggin it.

Fex Bluse Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 17 hours ago, rooster59 said: Media freedom under threat I disagree. Thai media freedom is not really under threat. While it is dangerous, and sometimes deadly, to report the truth in Thailand, most Thais in media 1. lack the courage to do so anyway, and 2. have a loose relationship with truth as Thai culture predisposes people to lying whenever convenient.

If a Thai's public Facebook profile and cover photos consist of all tacky poser photos from landmarks in Europe, USA or AU, he might be a Thai Elite.
