It is all about the haves and the have nots and if you are willing to pay.

If you want to have ease free internet the internet companies here want you to fork over 3000 or more baht for a business package. The truth is that it is almost as good as the 19.95 a month I was paying for back in Chicago. Paying a hundred dollars for internet is ludicrous, but I do it.

The rich want to keep the poor down in Thailand. They know that they can't afford to pay 3000 baht. The haves block the poor people from seeing anything that might give them any information that leads to change. Mind you that youtube is not the site that will stir the minds of the poor Thais into deciding that enough is enough. It is the thousands of other sites that are blocked that will.

Funny thing is that the majority of underprivileged Thais would never be bothered to view a site that was thought provoking. They are busy reading rag sheet sites that contain celebrity gossip and news about Thai soap stars.
