ChicMinistry is one of Thailand's first e-magazines and was founded in March of 2009 by The Web Culture Company Limited. The URL for the website is http://www.chicministry.com. The first issue was successfully launched in July of 2009 with over 2,000 readers daily. A year after the launch, daily readership has risen to over 8,000 readers daily.

The magazine content is mainly in Thai and is targeted towards Thai women aged between 25 and 40.

The content can be categorized into the following groups:
 * Fashion
 * Beauty
 * Mind & Body
 * Social
 * Career & Relationship
 * Lifestyle
 * Travel
 * Food & Leisure
 * Home & Family

In total, there are over 50 articles in the categories with content being updated on a weekly basis. Aside from the normal articles, there are also special content such as:
 * Editor's Lifestyle Journal
 * Reader's Activity
 * Special Issue
 * Beauty Review
 * Monthly Poll

Another success story for ChicMinistry is the bi-monthly (twice a month) charity auction. The online auction (found at http://www.chicministry.com/ShopForCharity/) donates 100% of the income from this program to ECPAT (http://www.ecpat.net or http://www.ecpat-thailand.org). Used brand name items are generously donated by Thai celebrities and well-known individuals for this charity program for ChicMinistry's readers to auction.

ChicMinistry has a Facebook fan page (http://www.facebook.com/chicministry) that is updated almost daily with content from articles in the e-magazine. Other content that is also updated on the Facebook fan page include monthly specials, contests, and give-aways.
