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]
