🩸 “No funeral. No grave. No record. As if he never existed at all.” 🩸 In this harrowing episode of Shadows of Siam, we uncover the chilling disappearance of Siam Theerawut, a pro-democracy activist who dared to challenge Thailand’s military-backed regime. In 2019, Siam vanished without a trace after being deported from Vietnam. No arrest records. No official acknowledgment. Just silence. But how do you erase a person—not just their body, but their entire existence?
In this episode, we explore:
- 🔸 Siam’s early life and his path to activism
- 🔸 His involvement in The Wolf Bride—a play that became a political lightning rod
- 🔸 His years in exile, fighting for change from afar
- 🔸 The mysterious circumstances of his disappearance
- 🔸 The endless search for answers by his mother, Kanya
- 🔸 The broader, haunting reality of enforced disappearances in Southeast Asia
This is not a ghost story. This is what happens when power decides who gets to exist—and who doesn’t.
