MY NEW FAVOURITE TELEVISION CHANNEL
The Panda Channel is a newly launched offering from True Visions in Thailand (on channel 18 for those interested). I hate to say it but I'm addicted after just one night of viewing.
Like most of Thailand I've become a fan of panda cub Lin Ping. She was born on May 27th in the northern city of Chiang Mai and is the first panda to be born in Thailand.
I've got Lin Ping postcards, a key chain, several stuffed toys, a couple of magazines and a book, and now I can keep an eye on her and her mother Lin Hui 24 hours a day, even from the Internet here.
I grabbed this cute picture at 11.30pm last night while Lin Ping was having a late night snack.

It's just a fad.
But look at her cage: just a bare concrete floor to sleep on.
Mat.
Ok, I'm not much of a panda follower, but watching them stretch is pretty cute so I can see the attraction.
I agree with Matthew, the sleeping cage is pretty bare (sorry, pun intended) but they seem to move around quite a bit during the day. The outside enclosure looks pretty big.
Catherine - about 8pm last night (yes, I am crazy enough to watch in the evening) the mother panda was flat out, legs and arms spread. It was so funny.
I was quite cynical about all this panda-monium!!! But I have to say channel hopping over to watch Lin Ping is much more rewarding and therapeutic than watching commercials.
Andrew, did you know that Lin Ping even has an online fan club? I accidentally found it when I was searching for something else. It's another True product, go and have a look, http://exclusiveclub.truelife.com/linping. You have to join though even though it's free. I have to say that the little people in my family are big fans!
Think the mother panda is so good too. The fact that she allows all these people to fuss around her son!
