Thailand Faces Communist Threat Ahead of Vietnam War
Bangkok reports Thailand is tackling a rising Communist insurgency in the northeast aided by Red China and North Vietnam. U.S. officials say the conflict could be contained without full U.S. forces, but success depends on Vietnam peace. The six northeast provinces, especially Sakol Nakorn and Nakorn Phanom, see the heaviest pressure along the Mekong border. Aid totals shape counterinsurgency efforts, with about 85 percent of U.S. economic assistance and most military aid directed to counterinsurgency. The movement traces to 1950s calls from Beijing and a 1964 radio push. clashes first occurred in 1965 as security patrols confronted armed bands.
