The three-and-a-half year old magazine, which deals with social, economic and political issues touching young Thais, previously survived on revenue from its 60,000-copy circulation, said editor and part-owner Pinyo Trisuriyathamma.
"The reason why we redesigned was to get advertising, but we don't want to be an ad-oriented magazine. We will still be content-driven," he said.
Pinyo added that ads would be limited to between 10 and 15 pages of the 82-page magazine.
GM Printing, one of the country's larger printing houses, has also taken a 25 per cent stake in the title, along with printing, marketing and distribution responsibilities.
In contrast to the old text-heavy layout, the magazine's new look features a more reader-friendly approach with updated fonts and pull-out quotes to break up the text.
The black and white title has also gone full colour.
The content remains unchanged, as does its aim to be "a marketplace for ideas".
Pinyo said he expected that circulation would stay around the 60,000 copy level.
