Asia!


Royal Gazette

Two issues of the magazine Asia! (no. 8–9) published this year have been banned from distribution in Thailand, apparently due to advertisements they contain. Police are authorised to confiscate and destroy any imported copies of the magazines, according to an announcement in the Royal Gazette (ราชกิจจานุเบกษา) yesterday (vol. 124, no. 160, p. 14).

(It’s not clear exactly which magazine the ban refers to. Asia Magazine, for example, has no exclamation mark in its title.)
