FHM: THE LAST ISSUE
The last ever issue, the February 2016 one, of the 31-year-old U.K. 'lads mag' FHM has appeared on the bookshelves in Thailand - albeit in very small numbers.
If you're a magazine junkie like me I would suggest getting your copy as soon as you can. In time in will become a collectors item for certain, but the biggest question has to be what will happen to the Thai language licensed edition - published here by listed company Siam Sport.
Due to the lack of independent circulation auditing in Thailand it's hard to determine exactly how many copies the Thai edition sells, but I would suggest it's more than the U.K. edition.
I also feel the Thai edition has the potential to continue as it has managed to develop a brand name of its own here - regardless of its parent edition - and does not rely heavily on international content from that parent.
Only time will tell, but I am confident FHM Thailand will go on after its parent edition has ceased to exist.
