Regular readers of NewMandala (I am sure there are some!) will have noticed that Nich Farrelly has gone missing. Earlier this month he was sighted diligently blogging in northern Thailand.
But since then he has gone very quiet. No more blogs on Bangkok nightlife, McDonalds or the popularity of yellow shirts. He was last seen boarding a songthaew bound for Chiang Mai. The driver was clearly committed to Thaksin’s Thai Rak Thai.
So perhaps Nich has been recruited as a Thaksin canvasser and let loose in the north armed with a swag of populist policies. Or perhaps he let his Democrat inclinations slip (a product, I understand, of a high-school stint in Thailand’s south) and was abandoned on a remote country road… In fact he is currently undertaking field research well beyond the reach of internet and mobile phones. I am confident that he will emerge in due course with many tales to tell. I’ll keep you posted.

Happy to report that I am safe and well. And will be back in regular contact soon. New Mandala…Blogging from the most unlikely places since 2006.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
