PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS

Words seem almost insignificant when these pictures from Thursday's newspaper front pages tell the story of what happened in Bangkok on Wednesday, May 19th.
From Austria to Australia, and from England to New England, graphic and iconic images from the streets of Thailand's capital city are dominating coverage around the world.
In my opinion The Times from Johannesburg in South Africa and Toronto's The Globe and Mail deserve a special mention for their outstanding use of images from Bangkok.
There are close to 50 front pages here, representing just a fraction of the coverage that Bangkok is receiving around the world today.
(To look more closely at the front page montage please click on the image and zoom in).

ADD: If you want a PDF version (34MB) of more than 70 front page images please email bkkandy AT myway.com with PDF in the subject line. (As at 23/5 I've had more than 50 requests for copies.)

Hi, very impressive indeed. Great work. But the resolution..., could you publish a pic with better quality, please. I have a hugh LED-monitor and a great graphic card, but I can't read the headline even with zoom.

Please publish a link to a piv with better res.

This would be so nice. Thank you....!

Wow, that must have taken a lot of time to prepare. Impressive.

(and, needless to say, this is the TAT's worst nightmare!)

Thanks for your comments. I am working on a way to make these images easier to see.

BP cited your site, just letting you know about traffic coning your way. Thailand has had a lot of exposure, but none likely helpful for tourism, they truly are the masters of self destruct!
