Company Profile: Image Publishing Co.,Ltd. was firstly founded in
September 1987 as Chaktharanupab Partnership
Ltd. whose shareholders were M.L. Seni Pramoj
(former prime minister of Thailand), Madam
Ussana and Mr Kamron Pramoj Na Ayudhaya as a
manager.Chaktharanupab Partnership Ltd. began
publishing The Image Magazine in 1988 focusing
on fashion, travel and lifestyle.

The monthly magazine targeted people who began their career life
and are interested in trendy lifestyle. Due to its modern look and layout,
including its bigger size than other magazines and the trorough screening of
articles for publishing and internationally beautiful fashion photos, the
magazine created a new menuket for Thailand's printed media. With a strong sales
promotion, IMAGE became a leading monthly fashion magazine of Thailand in just a
short time. In the meantime, Charktharanupab Partnership Ltd. began investing 25
million baht to develop 2 rai plot of land along Ekkamai Road which later served
as a site of its office and studio. The investment was decided on the ground
that this line of business would grow continuously.
In 1989, The Image Publishing developed a firm connection with Grammy
Entertainment Co., Ltd. which is presently Thailand's biggest entertainment
public company. Owing to a robust growth of the Image's publications for Grammy
and its fast expansion, The Chaktharanupab Partnership Ltd., was reorganized and
became a company with a new name "Image Publishing Co., Ltd."
After becoming a public company in 1995 and visualizing The Image's potential
for growth, Grammy Entertainment began to negotiate a joint business with The
Image in October 1996. This was due to Grammy's lack of subsidiaries to publish
printed media of high quality. Within 2 weeks of negotiation. The two firms
signed a business deal on October 29, 1996. Grammy owned 70% of The Image's
shares and the remaining belonged to Pramoj Na Ayudhaya family.
Later in 1999, Image Publishing diversified into pocket book menuket by
establishing a publication division of Image publishing. The newly-formed
entity's publications shared the same philosophy as a magazine by focusing on
modern trends and keeping up with a changing world.Currently, Image Publishing
is publishing a variety of books be they literature, how to, pictorial books and
features. All of them meet a modern lifestyle of Thai people. The company also
