Ok, TV back on {True Visions} - with the exception of the foreign news channels which are still blocked.

Still out on True Visions this Saturday morning.

From Wiki about the 2006 coup. Television censorship[edit] On the evening of Tuesday 19 September, regular programmes on Thai television channels were replaced by video clips and music authored by the King. The next day, shortly after Sondhi's TV conference, all Thai channels were back on air under control of the ICT Ministry authorised to censor information. On Thursday 21 September 2006, the CDR summoned media executives to Army Headquarters and ordered them to stop carrying expressions of public opinion. This included a ban against the common practice of broadcasting viewers' text messages on a news ticker. The junta did not say whether the ban would extend to newspaper editorials or internet web boards.[110] Thai television broadcasters did not air footage of demonstrations against the coup, including the first major protest on 22 September at Siam Square.[111] Local cable broadcasts of CNN, BBC, CNBC, NHK, and several other foreign news channels were censored, with any footage involving former Premier Thaksin blacked out.[112] On Thursday 21 September 2006, The Guardian disclosed that armed soldiers are sitting in every television news studio and control room.[113] As of Thursday 12 October 2006, Suwanna Uyanan, vice president of the Thai Broadcasting Journalists Association, says that soldiers are still occupying Channel 11, where she works.[114] The nine members of Board of Directors of MCOT, a privatised state-owned media company, resigned on 26 September with effect as of 27 September in order to take responsibility for allowing Thaksin Shinwatra to address the nation on MCOT-controlled Modernine TV (Channel 9).[115]

Yes, for sure at the beginning the tv was off - just don't remember it being kept off as long as it is on this time. Sat morning here and still no TV.

All TV stations are off the air - no matter if news or entertainment. I hope this doesn't last much longer. I seem to remember back in 2006 it was similar but not sure if the cable channels were off for more than one day. Anyone with a good memory?

Wow, now even the cable channels are off. This didn't happen last time that I remember. Even 7-11's are closed!

Sorry guys - I'll be in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Google Translate does a decent job on that one:- Why did I not think of themselves as competent and intelligent than women Thailand. I was the one who finished college educated. How much that I have done no good to me too.

Giggs in temporary charge of Manchester United as Moyes makes way http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2013-14/apr/manchester-united-part-company-with-manager-moyes-220414.html

Noticed that there was not much concern about the "dry" days for the elections this time. Seems that they police don't have much police power or time to regulate vice like normal.

Thanks Steve!

Domino's is back - started last year - believe 4 locations in downtown area.

Top is the Thai restaurant. BJ on the mezzanine level??? Hmm... new one for me - some of the gals on the ground floor would be very interesting up there!

I have gained more respect for President Bush AFTER he left the office. He really has been a model of what an ex president should do.

You may not be doing this right if your concerned about noisy at night. The real question is how noisy is it during the day?

Kamui - the issue - is "For Life". Already have their security detail cost, believe that is now only for 10 years.

No - you cannot cross Sukhumvit underneath the roads, you can only use the Skywalk to cross Sukhumvit.

We need to elect leaders, and then appoint lawmakers. What the f%ck would a real "leader" want to deal with making laws? But way too late for that - look at Thailand - most of the major politicians - oh well -don't look at them is better!

Civil Union? Some important things like Life Insurance, pensions, wills, etc.. have to be thought of also. But why should only hetro's feel the pain of marriage/divorce? Lawyers, priests and the government should be thankful - what a business development market here! Tax and fees - here we come.

How was Rhianna?

Oh My Budhha! Mitt - save us all! I'm really glad I no loner live in the USA - what a basket case the country has become.

Easy Bar would be probably open now about 2 years - some of the regular girls from Silver Dollar opened it.

Killer Elite - enjoyed it - maybe because was trapped on the airplane, but I thought it was suspenseful.
