Comments on the Black May 1992 story
- June 29, 2004
After noting in the final part of the
Black May 1992 story that very few
people seemed interested in the feature, 2Bangkok.com received quite
a bit of email...
I'd just like to say that I enjoyed reading your
series of articles on the Black May in Bangkok. Hard to imagine that
these things happened just 12 short years ago. It is puzzling that
you would receive so little feedback on what would seem to be a fairly
significant event.
Great site. Thought the Black May memorial was excellent. Very sad
and very telling.
I am very surprised to read that no one
contacted you about the Black May reports. In fact, I have read
all parts of it and actually waited for any part to appear. It
was very interesting to me because back then I was not interested
in Thailand yet and while the LA riots got a lot of news coverage
in Germany I cannot remember to hear anything about the Bangkok
shootings. When you started the photo series I put a link on some
German Thailand forum and many people where thankful of that.
By the way, I really like 2Bangkok.com and looking at it almost
every day. Keep up the good work.
Your piece on Black May was great stuff.
I appreciate it and all of the effort that went into it. Thanks
a lot for helping me fill in some of the huge gaps in my understanding
of Thai history.
Just finished reading the
pages on Black May after a friend had send me the link. Very
interesting stuff. Did not really know much about this, so thanks
for shedding some light on this part of Thailand's history
I tried to show it to a few of my younger
Thai friends, but they all refused to see it. I think among younger
people there is a kind of embarrassment over the events...

I'm a regular and avid
fan of 2Bangkok.com. I stumbled upon your account of Black May and
was enthralled. Your personal account of a recent historical event
with your own photographs is the World Wide Web at its best.
