Steve Suphan in The Nation

[Richard Barrow]

Congratulations to Steve whose latest blog, Thailand: To Get 10 New Provinces?, was picked up today by The Nation newspaper and reprinted on their Opnion page. Many of the regular readers at www.thai-blogs.com had already commented that this was their favourite "blog of the year". It was then spotted by a reporter at The Nation who passed it on to his editor. Who, of course, immediately liked it.

When is the book coming out Steve?

Can't believe that i'm actually getting paid for writing a blog - nice, especially when I did asolutely nothing! The Nation just copied the whole thing off of thai-blogs.

They did edit it a bit, taking about a 100+ words out of the original. Great to see www.thai-blogs.com getting a mention - i did ask them to do that!

Let's hope they'll be calling me up for some more 'specials' - the pay is pretty good!

i am still laughing, especially at #

4) Nakhon Nee Khadee (The Province of the Fugitive)


Dedicated to all the nation's well-off connected criminals who usually run away to the deep jungles of Cambodia, Laos or even the United States, this province will offer each and every fugitive a warm place to dwell without having to spend their earnings abroad. An ID card won't be compulsory in the province, just a couple of "name-cards" of powerful friends or family will do. A basic compulsory expenditure of Bt1,000 will be required however, so that all the authorities will turn their heads and not realise that you are a fugitive.




cheers, are there more to come ?

Congrats Steve! Have always enjoyed reading your blog. Now we can read it on newspapers too!
But why won't they allow you to use your pen name, Steve Suphan?

Quite enjoyable to read. I really liked your disclaimer at the end.
