THREAD:
Three foreign-based critics of the Thai regime — including well-known
journalist Jom Petchpradab and me — were targeted in August by people
who surveilled our homes, followed us and sent packages intended to
intimidate us. 1/15
On
August 25, two Thais based in Los Angeles — Jom and Red Shirt activist
Phontip Weeden — each received a FedEx package sent from Thailand. 2/15
Each
package contained photographs showing that they had been surveilled at
their homes and followed, as well as a coded threat — a photograph of
the cover of the book "Catch Me If You Can". 3/15
The
packages were apparently sent from an address in Sawang Daen Din
district in Sakon Nakhon Province, but this appears to be fake. The
evidence suggests the packages were sent from Bangkok. 4/15
There
was a very similar incident targeting me on August 3. For the previous
couple of days, I had seen a couple of suspicious people hanging around
near my home, who appeared to be watching me when I went out. 5/15
A package was then left on my doorstep — a gift bag, with a gift box inside with the message "A Special Something for You". Inside were some items that showed I had been followed over the previous few days, as well as a printed message that said "Greetings from Thailand!" 6/15
Although the methods were slightly different, the incidents were extremely similar — in each case we were surveilled and then sent a message to show that the Thai regime knows where we live and could easily cause us harm if they wanted to in future. 7/15
Although
the methods were slightly different, the incidents were extremely
similar — in each case we were surveilled and then sent a message to

harm if they wanted to in future. 7/15
So it seems probable they were linked, and other Thai exiles may face similar tactics of surveillance and intimidation. 8/15
In
each case, the methods used suggest a black-ops private investigation
company was hired to do the surveillance. There are several agencies
like this that can be hired in both the US and the UK. 9/15
While
the incidents are all explicitly linked to Thailand, it's not clear who
ordered and paid for them.
But they come amid an atmosphere of increasing panic in the palace,
military and government over mounting protests demanding reform of the
monarchy and constitution. 10/15
Ten
Thai dissidents have already been murdered abroad since 2016, most
recently my friend Wanchalearm Satsaksit who was abducted in Cambodia
in June. That killing was ordered by King Vajiralongkorn and overseen by
his notorious security chief Jakrapob Bhuridej. 11/15
All
the ten victims vanished from Southeast Asian countries, many of which
like Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia have begun cooperating with Thailand to
allow the capture and murder of dissidents — Laos, Vietnam and
Cambodia. 12/15
It
would be much harder for the palace to target people in the US, UK,
Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand where the rule of law is
strong, police are sophisticated, and an attack traced back to Thailand
would cause major diplomatic consequences. 13/15
Thai
assassins would be unable to operate freely in these countries so would
have to subcontract the job to local criminal groups. 14/15
But
reports from inside the palace say the king is enraged by the
escalating protests and criticism of the monarchy and wants blood. So
all Thai activists abroad need to be aware of the increased risk, and
look out for signs of surveillance. 15/15
