Yahoo Regional Directory Points to Thailand

Yesterday 10/29 and today 10/31 I noticed that if you
select "By Region" within the News and Media category
of Yahoo you get this URL:
http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/Thailand/Provinces/Chiang_Rai/Travel_and_Transportation/
Which is about the Chiangrai province of Thailand - no
other regions are listed.

This also happens if you select News and
Media/Newspapers or News and Media/Magazines or
Television.

It also seems to happen when you select "By Region"
within "Government/Politics"

I wonder what the advertising implications are for
such problems. It looks like three Thai hotels may be
getting a huge traffic boost, but many regional
companies may be getting little or no traffic from
Yahoo because of this problem.

Best regards,
