Social media has been reporting it, but the mainstream media has avoided it. And, again, it has been left to Prachatai to report the the mock body bags that have been showing up around Bangkok.
The mock bags are meant to look like this one (left), found in the Mekong River.
Perhaps the first mock bag was discussed on 27 December in a Facebook post that went viral. It showed a bag at the Memorial Bridge with the name Surachai. Most have assumed that this refers to Surachai Danwattananusorn, an exile who was “disappeared” in 2018.

Pranee Danwattananusorn, wife of Surachai who is better known as Surachai Saedan, was among participants at a remembrance held at the October 14 Memorial in Bangkok yesterday.
The service was organised to remember the pro-democracy activists who disappeared without a trace.
They also include Wuthipong Ko Tee Kochathamakun and Wanchalearm Satsaksit.
Speakers at the event also slammed the use of Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese majeste law, to curb free speech.
