Media in my country

Thailand is a democracy country where the media has freedom of their work. Television has 5 terrestrial channels. Every channel programmes are quite similar and show the same type of show in the same time. For example, at 6 pm. every channel shows news then 8 pm. shows drama. It seems to be a lot of competition between channels. Thailand's television also has control from the government. They often censor the violence scene and not allow to swear. It also has a sign of recommendation of the programme to advise if the programme is suitable for children or not. There are other types of media in Thailand such as press, internet and radio. The internet in Thailand is not very popular at the moment because the speed is very slow. The number of people who have computer in Thailand are far less than in the UK. Morover, a lot of people in Thailand don't know what is internet and cannot use computer. However, the number of people who buy a computer and internet connection are increasing.
