June 13, 2022

Pavin Chachavalpongpun, associate professor at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University, has compiled the complete list below, based on Royal Gazette announcements dated from 3 August 2016 to 31 August 2020, detailing the causes of dismissal, demotion, de-decoration, de-robing and imprisonment of each individual under the reign of King Vajiralongkorn. His study is to demonstrate the use of fear as a royal governance in controlling different types of people, from the political elites, courtiers, high- and low-level officials as well as monks.
