FORBES ASIA: TROUBLED THAILAND
"Troubled Thailand" is the headline on the cover of this week's edition of Forbes Asia.
The bi-weekly magazine produced from Singapore carries an interview with Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejajiva and comment from others on the current situation within the Kingdom.
Although the cover isn't going to win too many fans within the Government I think it will likely escape any formal or informal ban. I could be wrong however, especially if distributors and retailers take a dislike to that emotive headline. There are passing mentions of the Royal family however I think this is a fairly safe story in terms of lèse-majesté.
The story can be found online here but the interview itself is nothing new. Abhisit isn't saying anything he hasn't said before. This isn't really a story for Thailand's readers, it's more an education for readers outside the Kingdom.
