They've come out with an exclusive edition with all the important stories here over the past 75 years. You can read most of it at the below link, and you can buy it for 345 Baht. You can find more details at the second link. A lot of history (with photos) about this place in those pages.
I have very fond memories of the BP back in the day when I used to fly in to Don Muang and always passed the BP offices en route to Pattaya. Mornings by the pool doing the crossword and reading about Gen. Chavalit. Nothing much changed on the corruption front these past 25yrs (for me anyway).
I still enjoy reading a paper, not over the computer. I used to buy the BP when I was at market village but Asia books stopped carrying it. Does anyone know where you can still buy it?
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
There's a stationary store, on the West side of Phetkhasem, near Soi 70? There are steps, from the sidewalk, leading up to the store. They used to carry newspapers, incl. the Financial Times but I don't know if they still do. You could probably order a subscription.

Its a state mouthpiece and propaganda machine IMO - the Thai equivalent of Xinhua.
One or two of the editorial opinion writers are quite scathing of the government. K. Atiya for one and K. Paritta for another, both female. Many of the older (male) writers are government shills or just brainwashed from infancy.
