1:20pm Police raided publisher @sameskybooks and confiscated 5 titles for investigation.

Same Sky is an independent publisher of mostly scholarly books on history and politics, incl. on Thai monarchy. Their books provide critical reading & many are popular among young readers.

List of titles confiscated by police (4 books + latest edition of Same Sky Magazine. I have 3 out of 5. 📚🤓😁)

Note: At the last BKK Book Fair, police visited Same Sky booth and bought some books. ”Hey, if you don’t like books, write a bad review. Not raid the publisher!😝”

@sameskybooks confiscated by police. All four are scholarly books by critical Thai historians.
1) + 2): on 1932 Revolution & roles of military, royalist elites & US post 1932-Cold War by Natthaphol Jaijing
3) + 4) about monarchy in politics, hyper-royalism by Thongchai Winichakul

+ latest edition of Same Sky Magazine, entitled “Re-read the Royal Commands” (listed articles seem to examine historical texts and interpretations of royal commands, Khana Ratsadorn’s initiative, royalist jurisprudence, and elite dynamics) #saveสื่อเสรี

At Thammasat University—Thaprachan book store, Khun @topazine reported that all five titles confiscated by police (this afternoon) were sold out. On the shelves were all that remained of @sameskybooks titles. #StreisandEffect
