THE ECONOMIST: LIKELY NOT TO APPEAR

UPDATE: Much to my surprise, this edition of The Economist did appear in Thailand. The original post appears in the interests of balance, and has been updated with a subsequent story.

Although I do not have any official confirmation I am confident that Thailand readers and subscribers to The Economist magazine will not be getting their copy of the magazine this week.
I will made an educated guess that the publisher will take the decision not to distribute copies in Thailand. This week it's due to comments made in a column by Banyan.
An issue earlier this year in March did not make it to the shelves, and there were six occasions during 2009 where deliveries of print editions of The Economist were disrupted in Thailand were October 16, September 18, July 4, April 18, January 31 and January 24. The issue of December 5, 2009 was also withheld from delivery to Thailand.
