Bangkok Daily Mail
Defunct newspaper in Bangkok, Thailand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bangkok Daily Mail was an English-language daily newspaper in Thailand first published at the beginning of January 1910. Its former name was Siam Free Press.[1][2] The newspaper was owned by King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) and run by Prince Svasti and Louis Girivat.[3] Its office was located on Si Phraya Road.[4] On 8 August 1933, The Bangkok Daily Mail was suspended by the authorities and was allowed to resume publication following an apology and the payment of a deposit 'for future good behavior'.[5][6][7][8] However, it was closed once and for all by the Government in October 1933 "because of its royalist connections".[9][10]
A special weekly pictorial and feature section was included with Saturday issues.[11]
The newspaper also had a version published in Thai (กรุงเทพฯเดลิเมล์).[12][13]
