Ban Muang (newspaper)

[2] The newspaper was established on 23 May 1972, with Wijarn Pukpiboon as director and Mana Praepan as its first editor.

Under Mana, Ban Muang became the country's third-most popular mass daily.

In 2000, Pracha Maleenont bought the company and began publishing under a new name, but soon ceased operations, after which Wijarn relaunched Ban Muang under the Navakit Ban Muang company (นวกิจบ้านเมือง).
