The Bangkok Daily Mail was an English-language daily newspaper in Thailand first published at the beginning of January 1910. Its former name was Siam Free Press.^[1]^[2] The newspaper was owned by King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) and run by Prince Svasti and Louis Girivat.^[3] Its office was located on Si Phraya Road.^[4] On 8 August 1933, The Bangkok Daily Mail was suspended by the authorities and was allowed to resume publication following an apology and the payment of a deposit 'for future good behavior'.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] However, it was closed once and for all by the Government in October 1933 "because of its royalist connections".^[9]^[10]

A special weekly pictorial and feature section was included with Saturday issues.^[11]

The newspaper also had a version published in Thai (กรุงเทพฯเดลิเมล์).^[12]^[13]
