Magazines formed a major component of the Thai publishing industry in 20th century. Printed Thai-language serial publications began with The Bangkok Recorder in 1844, but it wasn't until after the abolition of absolute monarchy in 1932 that a distinct genre of magazines, as opposed to newspapers, began to form, prominently featuring fiction and lifestyle-related content. Magazine publishing experienced a boom in the late 20th century and the 2000s, diversifying into many niche titles, numbering over 400 at its peak. However, they sharply declined as a result of digital disruption in the 2010s, and many have since either converted to online-only or ceased publication entirely.
