PANDA-RING TO READERS

It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Nation Edutainment, part of Nation Multimedia Group, has launched a magazine titled 'Lin Phing, miracle Panda' to celebrate the first 100 days of the life of Thailand's most famous panda cub.
The magazine's 46 pages are stuffed full of pictures of the cute cub and her parents. Barely a day has gone by without some kind of panda news emerging from Chaing Mai Zoo, most of it ending up online or in print in
The Nation.
This magazine retails for 95 baht and, although in Thai has enough pictures to keep non-Thai readers more than happy. Another example of a publisher pandering to its readers? (sorry).

It's panda here and there in Thailand lately. But I hate to admit that I'm addicted to this black and white cub. Linping is something I have to watch before I go out to work. She makes my day!

Apart from magazines, Linping appears in many kinds of media. Here are the examples:

1. We can watch Linping live 24-7 on channel 18 at Truevisions.

2. You know what? Linping has a fanclub! Visit http://exclusiveclub.truelife.com/linping

3. Linping has Hi5 account!

I think she is a celebrity already.
