Agree completely. I stopped reading a while ago. The editor's comments were childish and often insulting. Seems a strange way to do business - to argue with and belittle your readers.

To be fair the website did one good story, about the Rohingya boat people. That seems a long time ago. Such a shame, Phuket would only benefit from a reasonable news source.
Yup, me too. Somebody called it a "ragsite", by which I guess he means an electronic tabloid, which describes it perfectly. They rarely let the facts get in the way of a good story LOL. But unlike printed tabloids, phuketwan is a one-man band and has kind of burned out. For local news, I read the gazette, which is more professional and has improved a lot in recent months. And for Thai news I sort of alternate between the bangkok post and the nation.
