    The Chilling Effect of SLAPPs on Academic Freedom of University Lecturers in Thailand
    (2025) Chomkate Ngamkaiwan
    The increasing use of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) in Thailand, particularly after the 2014 military coup, presents a significant threat to academic freedom. This study investigates the chilling effect of SLAPPs on the academic freedom of university lecturers in Thailand, focusing on how these legal actions—often disguised as defamation charges or violations of the Computer Crime Act and Thailand’s Criminal Code—are used to suppress critical academic discourse. Through documentary research and case study analysis, this study identifies key impacts on dimensions of academic freedom, including academic expression, financial impact, and institutional autonomy. The findings also highlight that SLAPPs, despite their frequent failure in court, create legal burdens that lead to a chilling effect that stifles intellectual inquiry, fosters self-censorship, and threatens the autonomy of higher education institutions. This study argues that existing legal protections are insufficient to prevent the abuse of SLAPPs and calls for the introduction of comprehensive anti-SLAPP laws. It proposes legal reforms to expedite the resolution of SLAPP cases, minimize the financial burden on victims, and impose significant penalties on those who file meritless lawsuits.

    Risky alcohol use among reproductive-age men, not women, in Mae La refugee camp, Thailand, 2009
    (2012) Ezard, Nadine; Supan Thiptharakun; Nosten, François; Rhodes, Tim; McGready, Rose; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicine. Mahidol–Oxford Clinical Research Unit
    Background: Globally, alcohol use contributes to close to 4% of all deaths and is a leading cause of ill health and premature death among men of reproductive age. Problem alcohol use is an unaddressed public health issue among populations displaced by conflict. Assessing the magnitude of the problem and identifying affected groups and risk behaviours is difficult in mobile and unstable populations. Methods: From 15–28 December 2009 we conducted a simple rapid screening test of risky alcohol use using the single item modified Short Assessment Screening Questionnaire (mSASQ) by all women currently enrolled in the antenatal care clinic in Mae La refugee camp, a long standing displaced setting on the Thai Burma border. Women self- reported and gave a secondary report of their male partners. Gender differences in alcohol use were further explored in semi-structured interviews with camp residents on attitudes, behaviours, and beliefs regarding alcohol and analysed thematically. Results: Of 636 women screened in the antenatal clinic, almost none (0.2%, 95CI 0.0-0.9%) reported risky alcohol use prior to pregnancy, whereas around a quarter (24.4%, 95CI 21.2-27.9%) reported risky alcohol use by their male partners. Interviews with 97 camp residents described strong social controls against women’s alcohol use and men’s drinking to intoxication, despite a dominant perception that the social context of life in displacement promoted alcohol use and that controls are loosening. Conclusions: As a stigmatised behaviour, alcohol use is difficult to assess, particularly in the context of highly mobile adult male populations: the simple assessment methods here show that it is feasible to obtain adequate data for the purposes of intervention design. The data suggest that risky drinking is common and normalised among men, but that the population may have been partially protected from rapid rises in problem alcohol use observed in nation-wide data from Thailand. The changing social context contains vulnerabilities that might promote problem alcohol use: further investigation, ongoing monitoring, and development of targeted interventions are warranted.

    Farmers and fertilizers: A socio-ecological exploration of the alternative agriculture movement in Northeastern Thailand
    (2011-12) Kaufman, Alex; Suriyapong Watanasak; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Natural Resource Studies
    Despite the urgency of reducing the environmental impacts of food production, the public and private sector continues to promote intensive agriculture methods. Studies show that input substitution strategies have led small-scale farmers into a cycle of debt and degraded soil fertility. In Thailand, non-governmental organizations have assisted farmers through organic extension programs. This research examined the socio-ecological benefits of organic production to rice farmers through a mixed methods approach. Coding and categorizing of semi-structured interviews with 50 Northeastern Thai organic farmers’ sheds light on shared values, perceptions, and actions towards nature. Through grounded theory I discovered the salience of fertilizing practices as a medium of associations between farmers and nature. A subsequent phase of structured interviews with 75 members of organic farmer groups investigated the ways that informants improved soil fertility. Organic farmers perceived bountiful rice and good health as externalities of nurturing the soil. By engaging in organic fertilizer practices respondents came to see themselves as part of an extended community of life. Data analysis reveals that participation in fertilizer groups contributes to improved health, wellbeing, and the long-term sustainability of organic farms.
