The victory of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, and wars of independence in neighboring countries will be a real boon to the generals, the bourgeoisie and the royalists. The United States will make Thailand a bastion of anti-communist. 45 000 American soldiers stationed in Thailand in 1969. Three-quarters of bombs launched on North Vietnam and Laos between 1965-68 will come from Thailand. 11 000 Thai soldiers fight in South Vietnam, and thousands will be recruited as mercenaries to fight in Laos. In 1953, U.S. military aid represents 2.5 times the defense budget of Thailand, thus enhancing the possibility of military factions that are to succeed in their coup plan. New sectors of industry and services are being developed to provide the U.S. Army as the fortunes of the bourgeoisie but also Thai generals who, in the continuity of the 1930s, creating businesses to benefit directly from the economic boom or multiply positions on the boards of directors to enrich themselves indirectly.

A code of nationality was adopted in 1939, forcing ethnic minorities to "become" Thai, learning the language, changing their name and sending their children to Thai schools. Many Chinese entrepreneurs become "Thai" and lead the new public enterprises. Nationalism thus a junction of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie with the political military and civilian.

From the end of 1974, the army, the bourgeoisie and the monarchy organize the response by creating fascist militia, the "village scout movement and a movement of" vigilant "that run the campaigns by asking," Would you like to Thailand? Do you love your king? Do you hate the communists? These two movements created by the border police and army units engaged in the fight against communist guerrillas, move in urban areas. They organize camps spend nearly two million people including business leaders, government officials and their families.

Calls to murder are launched every day on radio stations controlled by the army. "This is not a sin to kill a communist but a duty of all Thais." A party of the dictatorship's campaign slogan in 1976, "the right kill the left. The dictator responsible for the killings in 1973 returned from exile on 19 September and was a monk in a temple situated in the outskirts of the royal palace. It receives the visit of the king and queen. Two days later, workers protesting against his presence were lynched. The campaign of assassinations culminates with the massacre of students at Thammasat University on 6 October 1976. The "Scouts of the villages," the guard units and the border police attacked with rockets, missiles and anti-tank gun to campus. Officially, 43 students were killed besides the wounded, raped and burnt alive. 8000 arrests take place. That night, a new coup is legitimized by the king. The peasant movement is destroyed, and approximately 3000 students and workers joined the Communist guerrillas as much conviction as survival.
