This site, http://2bangkok.com/ is probably the best and most "objective" news site on Thailand. I put objective in quotes, because this site is unabashedly pro-Thaksin, the deposed leader of the country by a military coup. The group of his supporters, the "Red Shirts" continue to lobby for another revolution that will put him back in power. He was deposed by a muslim military leader and the country is still under military control.
This is nothing new for Thailand. They have a revolution on the average of once every 10 years or less. Of course, they still have their King, but he is a powerless figurehead, similar to Britain's royalty.
Back to 2Bangkok.com. This site takes Thai language media and interprets it for the English speaker. It is fascinating to learn what the popular Thai media have to say about things, and is the only way those of us who do not speak Thai would understand what is going on there. If you have an interest in Thailand or Southeast Asia this is a great site!
