The Bangkok Times
The Bangkok Times () was the longest-running English-language newspaper in Bangkok until World War II. It was founded by Mr. T. Lloyd Williamese in January 1887. As of 1908, it comprised eight pages and contained forty-eight columns. The British owned newspaper was placed under Japanese supervision at the beginning of December 1941 after the Japanese invasion of Thailand and a German editor formerly connected with Trans-Ocean news agency was installed. It ceased publication less than a year later on 30 September 1942. A weekly edition for subscribers living in the provinces and abroad was  published from 1897 until 6 December 1941 entitled The Bangkok Times Weekly Mail. Unlike the daily version that had a significant part of each issue devoted to advertisements and no single news item on the front page, the weekly version was almost totally devoid of any advertisements. For subscribers living in Thailand, a "'Special Telegram Supplement"' containing all foreign cables received during the week was included. Starting from Wednesday 14 May 1930 (Volume XXXIV, No. 20, published on Monday 19 May 1930), most issues of "The" "Bangkok Times Weekly Mail" contained one or more pages with several pictures usually entitled  The News in Pictures that could sometimes be printed on both sides of the page. The pages with pictures were larger than the pages with only text (212 mm x 320 mm for pages with text and 410 mm x 557 mm for pages with pictures). Notes. Measurements were made on the issue of "The Bangkok Times Weekly Mail" published on Monday 19 May 1930.
