This article is intended to present new findings on covert Thai intervention in Laos, in
association with the United States, during the Vietnam War. As it was considered a
violation of the Geneva Accords, information on clandestine Thai intervention in Laos has
been treated with strict confidentiality by the Thai government. The Thai public have
therefore been deprived of information on their countrymen’s involvement in Laos for
decades. Based on the new release of declassified US official documents and recent
interviews with former diplomatic, intelligence and military officers from Laos, Thailand
and the United States who were directly involved in the conflicts, striking facts about the
Thai intervention in Laos from 1960 to 1974 have been revealed
