    Despite the reason given by the government was due offensive material relating to the monarchy, closer sources state that the real reaosn is due to Taksin (or his supporters) releasing and posting material on youtube. Something to ponder???

    Apparently that was the reason twofatfaran website covered this and quoted somebody from censure bureau who confirmed that was the reason.

    There is a reason for this block which wasn’t obvious earlier.

    A video which is quite offensive to the king was posted on YouTube. This is (obviously) against the strict Thai lese majeste laws.
