Krungthep Turakij

Krungthep Turakij is a Thai-language daily newspaper published by Nation Group. It was established on 6 October 1987, and was originally positioned as a business newspaper, competing in the category with Manager Daily, among others. Its scope eventually expanded to more general topics, and it in effect came to compete with quality-oriented general-interest dailies such as Matichon. It operated as a sister paper to the English-language The Nation, with which it originally shared management and advertising sections. During the 1990s, when Thailand saw a vibrant and competitive newspaper industry, Krungthep Turakij was among the few that were consistently profitable, with a daily circulation of 70,000, and one of the two business dailies that survived the 1997 financial crisis.
With the cessation of The Nation print issue in 2019 and its mass-market-oriented sister paper Kom Chad Luek in 2020, Krungthep Turakij remains the Nation Group's only newspaper still in print. It operates a corresponding news website at the domain bangkokbiznews.com.
