The Siam Free Press was an English-language daily newspaper in Thailand founded in 1891 by Mr. J.J.

Having been bought by a new company, the Siam Free Press altered its name to the The Bangkok Daily Mail at the beginning of January 1910.[7][8] On 8 August 1933, The Bangkok Daily Mail was closed by the authorities and was allowed to resume publication following an apology and the payment of a deposit 'for future good behavior'.[9][10][11] However, it was closed once and for all by the Government in October 1933 "because of its royalist connections".[12][13]
