On Thailand

Recent political developments in Thailand are remarkable and difficult to explain to casual observers. International media coverage has in general been better than usual, but for useful analyses, the following sites are indispensable:

New Mandala blog: https://www.newmandala.org

Political Prisoners in Thailand blog: https://thaipoliticalprisoners.wordpress.com/

Prachathai: https://www.prachatai.com/english/

Sanam Ratsadorn website: https://sanamratsadon.org

Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com

The archives at these sites have important analyses of the events of April-May 2010, the coup of 2014, the manipulated election results of 2019, the 2020 student protests, the miltary-royalist-oligarchy’s overturning of the 2023 election results, and the ongoing effects of authoritarianism in Thailand.
