A FIRST CLASS MAGAZINE

Wired has established its place as a must-read for many, and this copy of the U.S. August edition which I picked up at Chatuchak Weekend Market last week has already been on an epic journey during its short life.
Buried deep inside the pages of this magazine was a boarding card belonging to the previous owner - a Mr. Masukawa - who travelled first class on Thai Airways between London and Bangkok on July 27th.
In Thailand we only get the U.K. edition of Wired for sale on the shelves, so to see this American-produced edition - with its U.S. ads and subscription offers - is a refreshing change for a magazine junkie like me.

Agreed, Wired is an excellent magazine. But both US and UK editions are available in the usual Bangkok bookstores. In fact, the US version has been available here since before the UK one. Like GQ (UK, US, India), Empire (UK, Australia), and Esquire (UK, US), editions from multiple Anglophone countries are available here.
