Interview people who visit prisoners...
Emmanuelle Michel "I'm a French journalist based in Bangkok, and I'm doing a story for French radio on the people visiting prisonners in Thailand (farang prisoners mostly, but not only). I'm looking for travelers/backpackers who decided to do that during their trip to Thailand, to interview them about their experience (why did they want do it? How did it go? How did they feel after the visit?...) Nothing complicated. My deadline for this story is Feb.16th-17th, so if anybody is interested, they should contact me beforehand. Maybe the best way would be for them to send a message to your website with their contact info, and then you can forward it to me? Thanks a lot for your help! Best, Emmanuelle Emmanuelle Michel Journalist, Bangkok" Email us and we'll forward your details to Emmanuelle...

Missing Person

Leon Adler writes: "I was hoping to find the whereabouts of my friend. We have heard nothing from him since December 2008 when he stayed near Khaosan road a long time. His name is Rory (last name?) about 1.80 tall, normal build and black short hair. Last time we saw him near Khaosan he had an open wound on his forehead, should have left a scar. Any info would be helpful." Any news, let Leon know. Let us know, too.

Chiang Mai Trekking

"There are some people to whom climbing trees, scrambling up mountains and fording streams comes naturally. Sadly, I am not one of those people. But even I can appreciate the need to get back to nature sometimes and explore the wilderness." Kirsty Turner tells us more about trekking in Chiang Mai.

UBRadio...

About a year ago, we spoke to UBRadio, then a fledging promoter and Internet radio station with a cocky swagger and grand aims, namely: "To provide 'the best resource for Underground Music on the Internet' and add a new dimension to the Bangkok club scene." Just how have they done? John Hughes fills out the score card. Click here for more on UBRadio.
