'''''ThaiDay''''' was an [English-language](/source/English_language) [newspaper](/source/newspaper) printed in [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok) in 2005 and 2006. Started by politician [Sondhi Limthongkul](/source/Sondhi_Limthongkul)'s [Manager Media Group](/source/Manager_Media_Group), it consisted of eight [broadsheet](/source/broadsheet) pages that were inserted in the [Thailand](/source/Thailand) edition of the ''[International Herald Tribune](/source/International_Herald_Tribune)''. It was printed six days a week, Monday to Saturday. Circulation was in the 5,000-10,000 range.

The paper had its own staff of reporters, photojournalists and editors and also carried translated news from the [Thai-language](/source/Thai_language) business paper, ''Phujatkarn Daily''.

Competing with the ''[Bangkok Post](/source/Bangkok_Post)'' and ''[The Nation](/source/The_Nation_(Thailand))'', ''ThaiDay'' characterized itself as a moderate choice "in a market traditionally dominated by newspapers that either toe the establishment line or opt for the other extreme of [sensationalism](/source/sensationalism)."

However, the paper suffered financially after its publisher, Sondhi Limthongkul, took up a campaign to oust [Prime Minister](/source/Prime_Minister_of_Thailand) [Thaksin Shinawatra](/source/Thaksin_Shinawatra), and after 15 months of publishing, the paper put out its last issue on August 31, 2006, though a message from Editor-in-Chief Paisal Sricharatchanya said he hoped the paper might be restarted at a later date.<ref>Sricharatchanya, Paisal.

It was the second attempt at an English-language daily for Sondhi and Manager Media Group, which in 1995 launched the ''[Asia Times](/source/Asia_Times_Online)'', a regional daily meant to rival the ''International Herald Tribune'', however that paper folded in the [East Asian financial crisis](/source/East_Asian_financial_crisis).<ref>Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
