REGIONAL PERSPECTIVES

Over the coming days and weeks, and with my renewed motivation to blog, I'll be writing about some of my experiences during the past three months, not only from Thailand but also from trips to Malaysia and Singapore.
In terms of print publishing, things are happening which, in my view, should be adopted in Thailand. The kingdom and its publishers, seem light years behind in some respects when you look at what's happening regionally.
Technology has a bit to do with this apparent lack of innovation, but imagination is possibly also missing from the minds of many Thailand-based publishers. If you look at magazines 10 years ago and magazines today there's very little difference, but do a comparison now between magazines in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, and the differences are dramatic.
