80 PER CENT OF NEWSPAPERS WILL DIE? NOT IN THAILAND
Posted on 28 April 2009
Media columnist Michael Wolff said last week: “About 18 months from now, 80 per cent of newspapers will be gone.” He was referring to newspapers in North America.
I will make my own predication about the Thai newspaper (and magazine) market. “In about 18 months from now no more than 20 per cent of the current titles will have disappeared.”
The Thai and North American markets are so very different and I think a number of factors will mean few casualties here in what has become a bloodbath elsewhere in the world. These factors include the relatively undeveloped internet infrastructure, and an unwillingness from major advertisers to move away from traditional media.

New Year Party in Bangkok (Khao San Road)We decided to start the year 2012 on Khao San Road which is a famous location for tourists in Bangkok. It is an ideal place to start or end your trip in Thailand. Food, accomodation, clothing, party, you have everything you need!! But don't stay too long on that place because Thailand is not all about partying. I will soon show you what you can discover there!! Music: Metallica-Fuel

THAI HUMOR & LITERATUREHumour is an important part of everyday life. A good laugh, says the worn klyshan, but there is truth in that statement. In Thailand, the humor is as prominent as in any other country. Humor on TV in Thailand is given. Both Thai and dubbed programs. Doraemon is a very popular and fun healthy figure in the Thai television and video world. TV advertising is a product that many see as boring. But if advertising is topped with humor, it becomes more easy-going and if you can laugh, I think that advertising goes home better. There might be some study that proves this? Probably. I have put together 10 pieces clips of Thai TV commercials with humor. Watch and laugh please!
