Pipob Thongchai

Pipob Thongchai

Pipob Thongchai is a famous Non Governmental Organization leader who advocates for a wide range of issues. He has been active since he was a college student, at the time of which he held the position of the Secretary of the University Student Federation of Thailand. He is also an ex-member of the Council of Socio-economic Consultant of Thailand, Committee for Democratic Advocacy of Thailand, Children's Foundation of Thailand.

In February 2006, he was selected to be one of the five leaders of People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), the group that launched the major campaign demanding Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to resign.

Apparently soon after he and NGO's called for the royal intervention, there was a coup by the royal-support military in September 19, 2006. The people's movements in general have named him and his gang as the good friends of the military junta.
