The newspaper has been exceptionally well received thanks to its lively presentation, its exclusive, superbly written stories and the excellence of its photography.
It’s been a year of landmarks for holding company Class Act Media. Apart from launching the newspaper, the company also launched Phuket Live Radio 89.5 FM to immediate applause from listeners all over the island who have dubbed it fresh, informative and, above all, fun to listen to, on air or on the Internet (phuketliveradio.com).
We also launched Phuket TicketMaster (phuketticketmaster.com), through which anyone can sell or buy event tickets online, the Job Club (jobphuket.net) for employers looking for staff and people looking for jobs; and the English Premier League tipping contest – a first in Thailand (thephuketnews.com/match-user.php).
We also launched the Southern Sun newspaper for Koh Samui, while sister company Events Thailand (eventsthailand.net) organised major events such as the Asian Hospitality & Travel Show. Events Thailand also helped people starting out in the hospitality business get experience through internshipsthailand.com.
Thanks to our great readers who have supported us over the last year – we love hearing from you and we will keep striving to give you a great read every week. It’s been a big year for us and Phuket, but watch out in the coming 12 months – it’s going to be a lot bigger!
