Chiang Rai Times (CTN) operates as a prominent online news portal with comprehensive coverage encompassing local and international news, business, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. Since its inception in 2009, the site has expanded to become a prominent source of news within Thailand, boasting a substantial and engaged audience both domestically and internationally.
CTN News is recognized for its unbiased and independent reporting and its proactive stance in addressing sensitive subjects often overlooked by other media outlets. The site has garnered multiple awards for its journalism, including the “Best Online News Portal” accolade at the Thailand ICT Awards in 2014.
Central to CTN News’ appeal is its focus on Thailand’s local news and events. Backed by a dedicated team of reporters and correspondents, the site provides comprehensive coverage of political developments, social issues, and cultural happenings across the country. This emphasis on local news has established CTN News as a reliable source of information for Thailand’s residents and those intrigued by its culture and society.
In addition to local coverage, CTN News features in-depth analysis and coverage of global news and events. The site’s seasoned foreign correspondents offer a worldwide perspective on current affairs, ensuring readers are informed about global events.
One of CTN News’ defining traits is its commitment to providing diverse viewpoints and opinions.

CTN News employs multimedia to tell stories and convey information effectively. The site often includes videos, photo essays, and interactive graphics, providing readers with an immersive news experience.

The site also offers a mobile app, granting users on-the-go access to news and information.
Amid its successes, CTN News confronts challenges as a media outlet in Thailand. Recent government regulations restricting freedom of expression and media coverage of sensitive matters raise concerns about journalists’ safety and security in the country.
Beyond legal challenges, CTN News contends with competition from a growing number of online news portals and social media influencers. These newcomers often produce content more swiftly and efficiently, and they are particularly adept at engaging younger audiences.
In the face of these obstacles, CTN News remains an invaluable source of news and information for individuals both in Thailand and globally.
