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 kuwa wamechukua hatua za kuwafuatilia wananchi kwenye mitandao ya kijamii na kufungia mamia ya tovuti zinazodhalilisha wengine, ikiwa ni pamoja na tovuti ya Daily Mail , wiki iliyopita blogu maarufu za kisiasa nchini Thailand kwenye tovuti ya Asian Correspondent, Bangkok Pundit, ilitangaza kwamba itasitisha kazi zake ikiwa ni matokeo ya "kubanwa kwa mazinira ya kutoa maoni waziwazi kuhusiana na siasa za Thailand tangu mapinduzi yafanyike."
