Last week I provided a list of New Mandala’s twenty most popular posts and pages. Continuing on this theme, I have put together a consolidated account of the most common search terms that bring readers to the site. Comparing the two lists it is clear that a huge number of New Mandala readers, whether casual visitors or die-hard commentators, have an insatiable appetite for material on Thai politics and, particularly, the Thai royal family. This hardly comes as a shock.
That Thandar Shwe rates so highly is one of the few real surprises on this list. And if you want to know why ครอบครัวละเหี่ยใจ is here – this is a good place to begin.
Starting with the most common search term, the list is:
- new mandala
- sufficiency economy
- globalisation
- burma blog
- thandar shwe
- tea
- king
- “new mandala”
- stanley weiss and ma thanegi
- samak sundaravej
- the king never smiles
- the king never smile
- thai prince and his wife
- ครอบครัวละเหี่ยใจ
- election
- burma
- mandala
- newmandala
- thai dress
- paul handley

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.
