1947 Coup Group (Thailand)
- 1947 Coup Group (Thailand)
Thailand's powerful Coup Group was composed of powerful military officers who planned and carried out a coup d'état in November 1947. Their prestige and influence were quickly enhanced by Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram's return to politics.
The leading members of the coup group were Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat, commander of the Bangkok-based First Division, Police General Phao Siyanon, the powerful chief of police, Field Marshal Phin Chunhawan, Phao's father-in-law, and Marshal of the Royal Thai Air Force Fuen Ronnaphakat, the air force's combat-experienced commander in chief.
