NOTES

1. After Eisenhower became President in 1953, US military aid to Thailand jumped from US$12 million in 1952 to US$55.8 million in 1953. Kobkua Suwannathat-Pian, Thailand’s Durable Premier: Phibun Through Three Decades 1932–1957 (Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1995), p. 283.

2. For example, a statement from 3 November 1958, by the spokesman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission protesting against the persecution of Chinese in Thailand said that, ‘The Thailand authorities, under pressure from the United States, have gone a step further in following US policy, in order to counterbalance the series of setbacks it has suffered in the Near and Middle East’ R. K. Jain (ed.), China and Thailand 1949–1983, Document No. 43 (New Delhi: Radiant Publishers, 1984), p. 39.

3. In his letter dated 12 September 1967 to President Lyndon B. Johnson a US official, Richard Helms, writes, ‘The situation of Thailand would be both perilous and complicated. Sooner or later, both Hanoi and Peking would bring pressure in an attempt to force Bangkok into a “cooperative” relationship. [...] We have no sound basis for estimating how the Thais would respond to such pressure. Our best guess is that, despite the discredit the US would suffer because of the outcome in Vietnam, the present Thai leadership would continue to seek US support.’ Helms to Johnson, David M. Barrett (ed.), Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam Papers: A Documentary Collection (College Station, TX: Texas A & M University Press, 1997), p. 472.
