Gadfly Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I clicked on the link and was directed to website stating the site was blocked by the Royal Thai Police force??? Can anyone outside of Thailand see the pictures? I certainly cannot access them using my ISP from here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
