Thai Mai (
Thai: ไทยใหม่) was a Thai daily newspaper. Its publication started at the end of 1930 (
2473) and was in continuous operation as a daily newspaper in Thailand up into the 1950s. It was an early business venture of Lek Komet (เล็ก โกเมศ). Lek was in his late thirties in 1930. His first success in business was as a
compradore with the Burley Company. He subsequently started Haang Komet (ห้างโกเมศ) and then went on to his own branded line of cosmetics. He sold that business and used the capital to develop other ventures. Thai Mai was an early one of those ventures.
