Bangkok Post publishes 3D newspaper

A 64-year-old English daily in Thailand 'The Bangkok Post' on Friday published a 3-D newspaper, the first of its kind in the country.

The three-dimensional effect was applied to most of the daily's coloured news photographs and advertisements which could be seen through 3-D viewer glasses provided free with the newspaper.

The text is still in the same format. The special 3-D edition celebrates the Bangkok Post's 64th anniversary, and the newspaper price is still 30 baht (about Rs 30) per copy.

The 3-D photographs are in all sections, including national news, world news, sports news and business news in the 40-page main part of the newspaper.

The newspaper won the Best Overall Design award in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East as adjudged by Wan-Ifra, the world association of newspapers and news publishers, in Kuala Lumpur recently.
