Book Ban Bonanza
From the Bangkok Post
News.
Two books criticising Thailand for being either democratically backward or a "deadly destination" for tourists are being published one after another at the moment.
The Telegraph last week published news of Thai police banning the sale of in Thailand of A Kingdom in Crisis: Thailand's Struggle for Democracy in the Twenty-first Century by Andrew MacGregor Marshall.
On the same day The Telegraph published another piece of news about another book to come out soon, Thailand: Deadly Destination by John Stapleton.
The book shifts the world's attentions to the crimes and accidents that have befallen foreign that have befallen foreign tourists recently. The author accuses Thai police of playing a big part in making Thailand "one of the most dangerous tourist destinations on earth".
It is also noteworthy that one after another of the websites that published this news were blocked--by the Thai police.
