The Bangkok Recorder

The Bangkok Recorder ( Thai: หนังสือ จดหมายเหตุ ) was the first newspaper in Thai language.

The recorder was initially monthly, bi-weekly, published later in Bangkok. The appearance times were 1844-1845 and 1865-1867. 's Most important contribution was the end of the American missionary Dan Beach Bradley, who spent 35 years in Siam. Bradley published in both English-language and Thai editions of the recorder. The Thai edition measure 15 cm by 22 cm, the English-language 30 cm x 45 cm, each with two-column layout.

Among the subscribers were King Mongkut (Rama IV ) and high nobles of the country. The newspaper went on because of financial difficulties. Bradley wrote in various editions that subscribers should please settle their debts. Maybe they have not paid out of dissatisfaction with the content of the publisher's sheet their contributions. In addition to general and scientific topics, he has also written contributions to Christianity and Buddhism that were probably viewed as critical of the dominant religion in the country.
