I have contacted him . Actually had 2 times before to chief editor and 1 to main email adres laying out our plans to them as we also need input on stories etc. They also did not respond. But after LL's remark I send email to his direct mail and got immediate respons. We will be in touch with each other as soon as we are in thailand.
Today I talked to TAT Bangkok again and have resent our request to the international PR Division through te lady on the phone. I also cc to the emailadress of the Governer herself (happened to lay around) hoping to stir things up a bit.
Though it feels strange to beg to be given the opportunity to help out and promote. If I was not so determent having been there during the tsunami myself I would have quit weeks ago.
Hehe and to the one saying about it being a holliday

we are missing over 500000 TBH in revenues, I figure I can have a great holliday on that if I go alone instead of with an entire team. No ST or LT for me during this trip.
