It has been another glorious year for
the Bangkok Post – a newspaper that prides itself on
being Thailand’s voice of the times. Backed by 58 years
of publishing experience, the kingdom’s leading English-language
newspaper remains well ahead of the competition by exercising
complete freedom of expression within our dynamic social
environment. Certainly, we have evolved over time, constantly
reinventing the Bangkok Post to suit the changing tastes
and preferences of our readers. And yet the Bangkok
Post still adheres to its core values of impartiality,
accuracy and fair reporting and analysis to this day.
Founded shortly after World War II by Major Alexander
MacDonald and Mr. Prasit Lulitanond,
the Bangkok Post has seen it all – from the end of
the war in 1945, the periods of the country’s economic
uncertainties and political upheavals, to the booming
years of the Thai economy. It has been the privilege
of the Bangkok Post throughout these years to capture
almost every memorable episode of Thailand’s development
in print. Today, after almost six decades of continuous publication,
the Bangkok Post has become
a leader in the publishing industry, not only in Thailand
but all over Asia. It is now a newspaper of editorial
strength and corporate confidence, a newspaper with
a remarkable history of milestone achievements that
helped transform it into the distinguished institution
that it is today. With its ever increasing circulation,
it reaches more of the key people in Thailand than
any other newspapers and performs a major service
to the Thai community. Today, on the occasion of the Bangkok Post’s 58th
anniversary, we convey our sincere appreciation for
the support extended to us by the Thai and foreign
business communities, and to the people who continue
to trust the Bangkok Post as their marketing vehicle. As we celebrate 58 years of the Bangkok Post, we
give tribute to 58 exemplary companies in the pages
that follow. We trust you will find reading about
them as inspiring and informative as
we have investigating and profiling them.
