Yep since this morning when I try to open Facebook I get this: http://w3.mict.go.th/ I'd also like to point out that just a few days ago I went to open Google.com/adsense and got the malware page warning in GOOGLE CHROME!!! Funny note, http://w3.mict.go.th/ times out for me if i try to access it...TOT (from work). #29

interesting to put this on a news ticker without checking it. It could have been the Nation they too never check facts. Regards I am running my own DNS server and facing the very same problem.

No problem with facebook in Pattaya.
This scare post got me worried for a moment! #33
Advanced Member Posted 2009-12-14 12:56:52 Quote Using proxy servers and trying to circumvent government blocked websites is a criminal offense in Thailand. How could it ever be a criminal offense to use the things that are legal everywhere... Got to be freaking crazy to state that... Thats an invitation for civil suits and more from the international community... Craaaazzzy! LOS or LOCO? (land of crazy officials) #35

Maybe some very big news is about to be announced and the government wants to control all the information surrounding it. Sorry to be ambiguous.

Are they blocking Hotmail ? Because for the last 1,5 week it's difficult to reach hotmail as well as many other websites (website my bank in the Netherlands and so on) I'm living in Central Pattaya and I use TTNT for my internetconnection. Anybody has the some problems ? I have been having trouble sending mail to hotmail addresses from yahoo and gmail. So I signed on to hotmail and so far no problems. This was happening in the U.S. as well as Thailand. I Think the problem might lie with hotmail too intensely screening incoming mail. #39

Yep the Thai government site is a bad one.Thats big news1 Ignore it at your peril...I use McAfee and it warns there are all sorts of bad boys waiting to F__k your computer up.Tried to get in there this morning and saw the warning.Out of 1100 pages tested over one hundred had problems.....I was going to check what I needed for my Car licence renewal . Got the info elsewhere. Had to pay tea money In Mai sai Imergration today for the form thats supposed to be free! Only 100 baht but it still felt wrong.Had to wait a bloody hour as well.

Anyone else get the feeling that LoS is slowly but surely sliding towards anarchy.
No signs of cohesion and knee jerk reactions in all sorts of ways (of which this thread is just another example). Outside influences getting stronger with no sort of effective responses in evidence. More and more things seem to be coming apart at the seams. What's next? Is it just me or do others feel the same? #41

Using True in Bkk; my yahoo.com and wordpress.org aren't loading well (they're loading partially but then try to load from http://w3.mict.go.th/ which times out).
This isn't no-news at all (like some on here claim), I find this a pretty serious matter! #44

Just run a proxy. When they blocked youtube they did such a piss poor job of it a 3rd grader could get around it....
Funny, I thought China was to the North... Edited by BlackArtemis, 2009-12-14 13:07:20. #45

Who are the source of this news? I cannot find anything about it anywhere else. That's because there is no news. None of these sites are being 'blocked' by the Thai government, it's just the usual internet hiccups that happen from time to time. #48

A non-event if ever I saw one! Whatever possesses people to post threads on the well-known vagaries of the internet here is beyond me. Just because it's not impacting you doesn't make it a nonevent. I work at a Bangkok university. Most of the teachers here have hotmail accounts, and we are NOT able to log on today. We can get to the main page, but login attempts fail. CNN loads with absolutely no graphics. Facebook is fine. Yahoo also loads with no graphics. Same with youtube: no graphics. #49

You must be used to funny hiccups. |
