Catching up on my brief time in Thailand this week and came across this photo I took at Bangkok airport. It’s a stand right next to the counter. They print and bag current editions of international newspapers under the Newspaper Direct banner. It’s in an ideal location and in my brief time in the shop I saw three papers sold.
I’ve seen these Newspaper Direct stands plenty of times but the newspapers were not in sealed plastic bags like in Bangkok. It’s a good idea.
I know of a couple of Australian newsagents playing in this space – not sure how it’s going. For my money I prefer to connect with Australian news online when I travel – it’s more up to date and cheaper.
