Thailand news API
Coverage about Thailand from 343 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=TH to filter.
What coverage of Thailand looks like
Tourism, agriculture and regional trade lead the coverage, with a national press concentrated in Bangkok and comparatively little regional reporting.
The media landscape
National dailies and broadcasters concentrated in Bangkok, with an English-language layer aimed at business and expatriate readers. Regional reporting is limited, so national coverage under-represents events outside the capital rather than covering them at lower volume.
Does this cover articles published in Thailand, or about it?
About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire
piece about Thailand filed from London is in scope and a Thailand outlet writing
about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use
publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic
reporting about the domestic market.
How do I filter news to Thailand?
Widen time windows for anything outside politics and tourism; the stream thins quickly by subject.

What catches people out with Thailand coverage?
The national press is concentrated in Bangkok with comparatively little regional reporting, so a country-level query is closer to a capital-city query than the numbers suggest. Thai is written without spaces between words, so semantic mode is the reliable default. National coverage is concentrated in the capital to a degree that makes country-level queries closer to city-level ones, and regional events reach the index mainly when a national outlet picks them up. Tourism reporting follows seasonal cycles that dominate volume and can be mistaken for changes in attention.

Which outlets cover Thailand most?
The most active publisher on this country is dailynews.co.th at roughly
9% of the coverage, and the three busiest
— dailynews.co.th, ryt9.com, udn.com — carry about 16% between them.
That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage
means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine
country with source to narrow to publishers you trust,
or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for
Best for tourism, agriculture, regional trade and domestic politics. Weakest for industrial and financial reporting, and for anything outside the capital. Useful as a regional indicator when paired with neighbouring markets rather than read alone.
Narrowing further
Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about Thailand, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
