Puangthong Pawakapan (née Rungswasdisab, Thai: พวงทอง ภวัครพันธุ์) is a Thai academic and political scientist.[1][2] Puangthong is an associate professor in the faculty of political science at Chulalongkorn University.[3] Her work focuses on the Thai military, including its internal security affairs. She also manages a digital archive of records on the 6 October 1976 massacre.[4][5]
In September 2024, a forum to launch the Thai language version of Puangthong's book Infiltrating Society: The Thai Military’s Internal Security Affairs was cancelled by Chulalongkorn University.[6][7] The event was moved to the Jim Thompson Museum.[8] Her book had argued that Thailand's military used infiltration tactics among the Thai public to indoctrinate citizens in its ideology.[9][10]
