Please don't panic. The scheduled three-part television series about sex-change operation, Khon Kon Khon, hasn't actually been banned by Modern 9 TV. A rumour went around that the series, which was replaced by a two-episode series about Luang Ta Maha Bua, didn't go air because it had been banned.

What happened was that TV Burapha, the company producing the series, was asked to edit the content down to two hours on the very night the series was supposed to air. The request was to shift the main focus away from the story of a 53-year-old person trapped in the wrong body and desperately wanting to have a sex-change operation, and to make the content more medically oriented. It was thought that the original theme might be too provocative for the general public.
