In this chapter I want to demonstrate the struggle between the capitalist and the bourgeois classes on the one hand and the working and the new middle classes on the other hand over the question of access and control of the mass media in Thailand. The rise of the new middle classes during the past decade is largely due to the high rate of economic growth. But as Preecha Piempongsanti (1993) and Nithi Aewsriwong (1993) argued, the Thai middle classes linked themselves economically and culturally with the capitalist class, nationally and internationally. Their income, their professional security and the way they manage information are all interconnected with the economy of the advanced industrialized countries in the West and in Asia, Japan in particular. In a sense, they are closely allied with the capitalist class of the global economy.
