NOW IT'S THREE: ADFEST JOINS THE LIST

ADFEST has become the latest high profile media industry event to shun Thailand following the ongoing political unrest.
The advertising industry festival was set to take place in the seaside town of Pattaya next month but organisers have deemed the situation too dangerous to risk staging the event. It was originally set to take place in March but was postponed due to the political situation.
In an email statement the organisers said: "Due to the continuation of political demonstrations in Bangkok, it has taken the decision to cancel the three-day festival scheduled for 27-29 May in Pattaya, Thailand."
Vinit Suraphongchai, Chairman of the Adfest working committee, said: “Since the announcement of new dates for the festival, the political rallies have become increasingly unpredictable. With the safety of our delegates and guests of utmost importance, we have no choice but to take precautionary measures.”
Organisers of Publish Asia and the Asian Publishing Convention, both high profile media industry events that were set to take place in Bangkok over the coming months, have also opted to avoid Bangkok for safety reasons.
