The Post also yesterday won two medals in the Best in Digital Content Award competition from the same organisation.
One of the medals was for the Navy Seals series put together by Post multimedia journalist Jetjaras Na Ranong, which got silver.
The other was a bronze for an infographic in February this year on the confiscation of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's assets by the Supreme Court.
The infographic showed how Thaksin's wealth grew over the years and what his money could buy in terms of sacks of rice, cars, gold bars and other goods as his wealth accumulated.
The three awards were announced at the Wan-Ifra Asia Digital Media Awards 2010 in Singapore.
The awards add further honour to the Bangkok Post's international profile.
In August, the Post was named by Wan-Ifra as the newspaper with the Best in Overall Design.
Also in August, a picture of the red shirt rally at Thaicom Satellite Plc's headquarters, taken by Bangkok Post photographer Thiti Wannamontha, was named the Picture of the Year by the Mass Media Photographers Association of Thailand.
