The Bangkok Chronicle

The Bangkok Chronicle was the only English-language newspaper in Bangkok published throughout World War II. Its editor was Mr. Sivaram Madhvan. The Bangkok Chronicle was banned by the Thai government on 21 August 1945. A few days later, it appeared under the new name Democracy with a new publisher, but the same staff.
