The article follow here:

Thai- Myanmar ties stand to freeze over once a Burmese publication's attacks on 
Thailand, its social system and most shockingly, a princess, go public. 
One respe cted royal recently visited Myanmar. Observers say the slanderous 
item in the magazine Myetkhin'thit could not have appeared without knowledge 
of government censors. Why would SLORC want to bash one of its few global 
supporters; especially a nation it's banking on to get it observer status in 
ASEAN?  One explanation may be anger over alleged Thai poaching of Myanmar 
fish and lumber.
