Thailand retains the death penalty and carried out its last execution in 2018. Suspected drug dealers were killed with impunity in Thailand’s war on drugs, with these killings of suspected drug dealers often amounting to extrajudicial execution. The military often executed captured insurgents in Southern Thailand. Emergency decrees in Thailand’s Southernmost provinces gave the government near impunity to mistreat detained suspected insurgents. Reports of torture were rampant among captured insurgents in the Southernmost provinces of Thailand, despite torture being illegal and uncommon across the rest of Thailand. Confessions obtained under duress were not thrown out of court. The government regularly conducted interrogations without allowing attorneys into the room. Confessions obtained under these conditions were not thrown out of court. Thailand generally had high impunity for police brutality. Detainees were often beaten by police during their arrest and reports of police brutality were seldom investigated. The government has consistently failed to investigate disappearances carried out by previous regimes in the country. The government allegedly disappeared Wanchalearm Satsakit, a dissenter living in Cambodia. Satsakit lived in exile in Cambodia before going missing. While both Thai and Khmer authorities both deny involvement in the disappearance, the UN accuses both the Thai and Cambodian governments of disappearing Satsakit. Prison conditions in Thailand are poor as prisons were often overcrowded and prisoners often lacked access to healthcare and sanitation facilities. The government also held civilians in military detention centers. Various provisions allow the government to hold detainees without charge for up to seven days. These provisions were often used against protestors and political dissenters. Additionally, emergency decrees in the country’s South allow the government to hold detainees incommunicado in unofficial detention centers for thirty days. These provisions were regularly used against suspected insurgents. Rights groups reported twenty-three political prisoners in Thailand. Most lacked official charges and were held significantly longer than provisions allowed. The government has broad provisions to conduct searches and seizures without warrants and the government regularly used these provisions to target suspected insurgents in border areas. The government has broad provisions to allow them to search the computers of those to enter “false, distorted, or damaging to the public” information in online forms or social media posts. The government closely monitors social media and has repeatedly made arrests (including of foreign nationals) based on social media posts criticizing the King. Criticism of the King, the royal family (including the King’s dog), criticisms of the natural beauty of Thailand, criticisms of the tourism industry, and several other reasonable critiques of Thailand or its government all warrant arrest. The government has frequently arrested foreign nationals upon entering the country based on social media posts not made while in the country. In Thailand’s transition from a military junta to the present quasi-democratic constitutional monarchy, the government repealed a number of laws limiting free speech. Many laws prohibiting questioning the legitimacy or competency of the military junta were repealed but a number of criminal defamation laws remain on the books and continue to be enforced. The government made several arrests for spreading COVID misinformation. The curriculum in Thailand is very closely regulated. Trans Thais can obtain sex reassignment surgery but cannot change their legal gender, though there is a bill pending to change this. Thailand does not recognize same-sex relationships, though a bill is currently pending to allow same-sex marriage. Homosexuals cannot adopt. Thailand is generally regarded as a fairly culturally accepting country of LGBT, but the Thai government does not have the same priorities as its people. Abortion is legal to twelve weeks.
