Is Sawatdee Gay Thailand Down?

[TotallyOz]

For a week, I tried to access the site and it does not work. I am in Bangkok. The site says: Not Found

 

Anyone else having issues?

In Pattaya and no problem accessing Sawatdee although sometimes I do get that message but try again.

Are you using True Online?   'Cause that won't work.

I am in a Hotel and not sure the provider. But, I have been getting that for a while. It was on and one for 2 months on this current trip to Thailand but usually back on. This time, it has been one week at least and I can't see any page on the site.

Try it from Cooloo.

Yep, that worked. Thanks.

SGT has some weird routing problems.  On some providers, or in some situations, it just doesn't work.  I am not tech enough to understand how it happens, but if you engage a VPN proxy, you can get to it without issue.  (which is why cooloo worked for it).

 

It is a known problem, but must be difficult (or expensive?) to remedy as it has been going on for quite awhile.

I thought everybody knew for years about this problem (there probably have been 100+ posts about it over the years).   I use True internet in Chiangmai and can't get the site (not that it usually ruins my day....).  Some have thought the government was blocking the site but that's not the case, just some unusual problem that prevents access to the site as noted by Mahjongguy.

If the government is not blocking the site, an easy switch to another hosting company would most likely solve the issue.

As the current Sawatdee owner.....I can tell you that I'm very aware of the problem.

 

I'm not certain what all the source(s) of the blockings are, but my technical support colleague and I hope to try a few solutions over the coming months in hope that we will be able to finally solve this nuisance once and for all.

 

As anoneone mentioned, this has indeed been going on for several years.

May I suggest you switch hosting companies. They may have had your IP blocked or the name blocked and a switch in IP's might be the catalyst to undo the block. Just a suggestion.

 

Wishing you great success in your new endeavor.

While I normally dislike censorship, getting rid of the Neal talk and the Bitch Board talk has resulted in a great improvement to SGT, and I too wish you success. 

[Guest surfcrest]

Thank you very much for the suggestions Michael, it's great to see the support we share within the community 

 

Thank you very much KhorTose for the very kind words....I too dislike censorship...I hope we never have to endure something like that again.
