Founded in 2013, Khaosod English came into being as the English-language branch of the popular Thai newspaper, Khaosod. The idea sparked from the Matichon Publishing Group's desire to reach a more specific, international audience by providing news in English alongside their existing Thai publications, which have been around since 1991. Currently, the site is still owned by the Matichon Publishing Group and is managed by Kanchai Boonparn, who oversees the entire media group. Today, Khaosod English is mainly focused on a wide variety of topics including politics, crime, and lifestyle news like entertainment, food, and travel. They also provide coverage on sports, business, and international events happening across the ASEAN region. Based in Bangkok, Thailand, they have made a name for themselves as a key source for English speakers looking to stay updated on the latest happenings in the country and beyond. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Khaosod English's parent company is that it became famous in 1994 for helping solve a major crime. While other papers reported a specific death as a simple roadside accident, Khaosod insisted it was a murder, eventually leading to the arrest of a high-ranking police general involved in a massive scandal over a stolen "Saudi Blue Diamond".
