CS LoxInfo seems to be blocking many sites that I need to visit for my work in Thailand. Far to many sites to make it feasible to write to them and give them a list – it would take hours for me to compile. The list would include the main U.N. human rights page.

The spy-on-your-neighbor site sports a link for reporting illGEal content. Very Thai in its remarkable sloppiness. I doubt their vetting process is any better.

Perhaps your site was reported for promoting alcohol to innocent Bangkok youngsters. It has “Absolut” in the name, after all.

stefan, pretended absolutism may indeed be the real issue at stake ... No idea why this tame site came up with such a preposterous name. Am neither a vodka drinker nor an advocate of the absolute. Maybe I should change the header and domain? possiblyBangkok.com? BangkokDan

@anon Not that I want to dispute that figure anon, but that figure is disputed and you know what, I prefer that chocolate-coated ya ba are not sold in front of kindergartens. Bangkok Pundit has all the background on it. The situation's again not too good, don't ask me why. BangkokDan

So you’re saying that you felt more free while thousands of drug dealers were being summarily executed?

You should be overjoyed at the good intentions of the Abhisit government in protecting Thailand’s beloved institution.
