The Nation is an English-language daily online newspaper founded in 1971, published in Bangkok, Thailand. It is one of two English-language dailies in Bangkok, the other being the Bangkok Post. On 28 June 2019, it published its final broadsheet edition, leaving only its online edition.[5]
The Nation is Thailand's only Thai-owned English-language newspaper,[5] It is owned by the Nation Group and is a member of the Asia News Network. It was considered a newspaper of record in Thailand.[6]
In the last year of its print edition, after conservative media group T News took over, my former colleague Supalak Ganjanakhundee was appointed as editor and tried to steer the paper back towards a democratic and liberal path. But it was too late.
The Thai newspaper of record, The Nation admitted the three villages belonged to 'Lao communist administration.'
