SELLING NEWS ON THE STREETS

Shops like the one pictured (right) are where most newspapers and magazines are sold in Thailand.
Generally they're small, family owned businesses, operated from shop houses and sell a small range of the most popular titles. They can be found at frequent intervals on every street in Bangkok.
The picture gives you an idea of what sells well in these places. On the left are a range of popular gossip and celebrity magazines including the licensed Thai editions of both Hello! and Ok!. Hanging from the roof are a large number of amulet-related magazines, while the Thai language daily newspapers are laid out on a table at the front.
Don't expect to find any English language titles in places like this.
