Forbes Communications

Forbes Communications is a Thailand-based communications consultancy founded in 2006 by Alasdair Forbes, a British journalist who spent his career as a reporter and sub-editor in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Cyprus, Dubai and Hong Kong before moving to Phuket in 1999 as Managing Editor of the Phuket Gazette.

The company has worked with a broad range of clients, including publications and news organisations such as the Bangkok Post, Property Report Asia, Helm magazine, Urbis Landscape magazine, Fun Times, One-2-Go, the Phuket Gazette and Deutsche Presse-Agentur; website companies such as Virtual Travel Guides, the Phuket Observer and Asia Web Direct; and developers and hotel companies including Campbell Kane (Thailand), Dewa Phuket, The Village – Coconut Island, Baan Suda, Skyline-Phuket Ltd, La Colline, Miramare, West Sands, Phuket Select and Golden Klong Ltd. It has also provided editorial consulting to Phuket's English-language newspaper The Phuket News and handled communications for the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem project, an initiative of the UN's Food & Agriculture Organisation covering eight countries bordering the Bay of Bengal. The firm remains privately owned and active, with its website serving as a showcase for its work.
