THE MONKEY MAGAZINE MYSTERY
Whatever happened to Thailand's Monkey magazine?
Just two years ago I wrote about how, with more than 11,000 active subscribers, the page-flipping licensed local language edition of the U.K. lads mag, could be the way forward for traditional publishers. Editor Dom Chotivanich told me how Monkey would be the start of bigger things.
Now it's nowhere to be found. The former URL has been inactive for several months or more and my inquiries to Dennis Publishing, owner of the Monkey brand, have remained unanswered.
If Monkey has disappeared in Thailand it's a sad waste of 11,000 fans of the brand. Monkey was the first entirely page-flipping magazine to appear and likely the last.

Thai MonkeyMag was closed down on early 2010 due to changing direction of the partner's company in Denmark. It was pretty sad to stop the publication but it seems to be the best solution by then.
The 11,000 fans are still in contact list and will be informed when the new men's lifestyle project is launch (which is coming very soon in this 2011).
Stay tuned. I'm on the final step of something big and will be back to world of sexiness soon. For now, if you need a quick fix, I started up a facebook page called "SanookKrub" http://on.fb.me/j3lQ1e . It is my small personal fun things to release the content I've got feeded. Please feel free to join. :D
