Having taken measures to censor citizens on social media and block hundreds of offensive websites, including the UK's Daily Mail website, in the past week one of the major political blogs in Thailand on the Asian Correspondent website, Bangkok Pundit, announced that it is going on hiatus as a result of "the constrained environment of commenting publicly about Thai politics in the immediate aftermath of the coup."
Baada ya kuchukua hatua za kuwadhibiti raia kwenye mitandao ya kijamii na kuzuia mamia ya tovuti za ugaidi, ikiwa ni pamoja na tovuti ya Daily Mail ya Uingereza, wiki iliyopita moja ya blogu kubwa za kisiasa nchini Thailand kwenye tovuti ya Asia ya Correspondent, Bangkok Pundit, ilitangaza kuwa inakwenda hiatus kwa sababu ya "hali iliyolazimishwa ya kutoa maoni hadharani kuhusu siasa za Thailand baada ya mapinduzi."
