A warm welcome to our new news journalist

Postby lee » July 25, 2006, 10:59 am

udonmap.com would like to give a warm welcome to Khun Pimporn (Kaew) who has recently taken the position of udonmap.com news journalist.

Kaew will be reporting the daily news from Udon Thani, and will cover everything from festivals to general news. The articles will be published on the front page of this website and also in the news section.

At a later date, udonmap.com's news will also be published in the Pattaya People Newspaper which will be available for purchase around Udon Thani and Nong Khai.

Do you envisage sometime in the future there being enough news, articles etc to require Udon to have it's own weekly publication?

Or maybe there is one and I've never seen it....

Udon does have its own fortnightly Thai language newspaper; it's sold at the shopping center information counter and at most book shops. There is also a new free classified magazine, which contains mostly cars for sale and garage advertisements. Udon Home cable magazine is also another Thai news source.

I think there would be enough news, articles etc for Udon to have its own weekly or fortnightly English language news publication. However I don't think there would be enough farang readers to justify one. Pattaya on the other hand is a different story.

I think daily online news and a few pages in the Pattaya People weekly newspaper would suffice at the present moment IMO.

There will hopefully be a few snaps, but these will be in the news section of the main site and not actually on the forum.

Kaew is doing a great job with the news section, looking forward to the pictures. I think there would be a market for a English language newspaper if you included Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, and Nong Khai.
The news could be covered on the Web, and the newspaper could be more features based.

The latest news I see on the Pattaya People website is from 13th June; I guess that they don't update their website as often as their newspaper.

Beer Monkey, there have been at least 3 lots of postings about that particular restaurant over the last 3 months, (by Dakoda and myself), including location and directions.

Try this for one such reference:
