BANGKOK IN THE NEWS, AGAIN

Images from the streets of Bangkok have again been seen in television news bulletins and in print around the world.

The recent spate of red and yellow-shirt gatherings in the Thai capital have drawn the attentions of some of the world's media. Brief news reports have been included in BBC and CNN news reports, while a small number of regional newspapers (including today's edition of 300,000 circulation The Sun, Malaysia) have chosen to feature colourful images from yesterday's latest demonstrations in print.

It's nothing like the coverage we saw between March and April last year, but it goes without saying that Thailand still remains on the radar for many news organisations, who will pick-up on any increase in pro- or anti-government gatherings - and report them to the world.
