“What, no reporting on the epic street battles in Greece to protest the IMF? Wow, you guys are slipping over there at Truthdig headquarters. “

What’s going on here in Thailand is not easily
Report thisunderstood by the western press. Most get it wrong.
As a long term expat I’m having trouble wrapping my
mind around the complexity of the situation.
Combine that with censorship and threats of lese
majeste and embedded reporters are hobbled at best.
The truth will not come from within Thailand. Look to

Enough said!
