Nattapol, a historian, is facing a civil defamation suit for his writings on the Thai monarchy. The plaintiff, a royal descendant, is seeking 50 million baht in damages based on an resolved error in Nattapol’s doctoral thesis and books that she alleges was intentional. On January 20 2022, 30 police officers raided the offices of Nattapol’s publisher with a warrant for books on “the monarchy and Thai society.”
