Bangkok World

The Bangkok World was an English-language daily newspaper in Thailand founded in February 1957 whose first editor was Mr. Darrell Berrigan, a United Press correspondent in Asia, and Far East correspondent for The Saturday Evening Post. It replaced the newspaper Liberty that was published between 5 September 1945 and 29 December 1956.[1][2] In 1971, the Bangkok Post and the Bangkok World were merged, The Post serving as the morning newspaper and The World as the afternoon paper.[3] The Bangkok World was closed on 25 August 1987 due to financial losses.[4]
