I noticed Bangsaray.com has had recent new design. I’m not sure how recent but it does look very nice and polished. Before just holding page but now a website dedicated to Talay Sawan housing resort. Take a look: http://bangsaray.com/
On July 12th 2010, Young Guns released their debut album ‘All Our Kings Are Dead’, on their own Live Forever label. On the eve of the album’s first anniversary, the band has re-packaged the critically acclaimed release, titled ‘All Our Kings Are Dead: Gold Edition’ (released yesterday).

Today also sees the band depart for Karma Sound Studios in Bang Saray, Thailand to begin recording the follow up to ‘All Our Kings Are Dead’, with producer Dan Weller once again at the helm. Speaking of the anniversary of the debut album’s release and the newly released Gold Edition, vocalist Gustav Wood says, “It only seems like yesterday that we released ‘All Our Kings Are Dead’. On the other hand though, it has brought us a lot of opportunities and allowed us to cover a lot of ground in that short space of time. It’s nice to be able to add to the album release with bonus features and a documentary that we feel tells the story of the last couple of years.”
“To find myself a year later on the way to the airport to record the follow up in Thailand is simply mind-blowing. We’ll be back in August gearing up for the whole process to start again! We can’t wait to see everyone at the shows in September, where we’ll be previewing some of the new songs for the first time.”
The bands previously announced UK headline tour, sees them playing the following venues:

The battle of politically-motivated vandalism continues in Sattahip where more campaign billboards – this time for Democratic Party candidates – were destroyed.
Six signboards for Chonburi Zone 8 MP candidate Maitree Soiluang and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva were defaced with profane graffiti in Sattahip moos 5 and 6. Other signs had the politicians’ faces excised. The damage had apparently been done over several days, but not reported until June 11.

Former Moo 5 village chief Natchai Sangsri said he contacted police and urged locals to refrained from the vandalism, even if they oppose the candidates or their political party. He said such vulgarity only spreads dissent and offends people who see the signs.
Jakkrit Kraimat, the Democrats chief representative in Chonburi, said he inspected the damage and urged police to find the vandals.
The latest round of sign defacements follows similar incidents in late May against Democrat billboards in Najomtien and Puea Thai Party sign boards near Bang Saray. Unrest is expected continue through the polls on July 3.
