## About

The Bangkok Post has reported on Thailand in English since 1946, long enough to have covered every coup, constitutional crisis, and royal transition the country has produced. Majority-owned through Bangkok Bank affiliates, it sits in the establishment tier of Thai media with a business-friendly editorial line and the practiced restraint on monarchy and military coverage that Thai press law makes a professional necessity. Rated broadly Center to Right-Center, it is most useful for reading what Thailand's institutional order wants international audiences to understand.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Post Publishing PCL; Bangkok Bank and affiliated entities hold the controlling stake; listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand
- **Funding:** Advertising revenue and digital subscriptions
- **Focus areas:** Thai politics, business, economy, Southeast Asia affairs, society, culture, tourism, and environment


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
