Boonsanong Punyodyana (Шаблон:Lang-th; Шаблон:RTGS) was a Thai politician and General secretary of the Socialist Party of Thailand. He was assassinated on February 28, 1976.[1]
Life and career
After graduating from Chulalongkorn University in 1959, Boonsanong worked for the Thai government, preparing English translations of official manuals. His skill in English and his familiarity with the Thai governmental structure gained him employment with the United States Information Service (USIS) in Bangkok as a writer and researcher. In 1962, he won a Fulbright-Hayes Scholarship to study for a master's degree in sociology at the University of Kansas. After receiving the MA, Boonsanong returned to Thailand where he joined the staff of Thammasat University as a lecturer in sociology. In 1967 he returned to the US and spent five productive years there. He completed a PhD in sociology at Cornell University, published several articles, spent a year at Harvard University, and another year as a visiting professor at the University of Hawaiʻi.
Boonsanong had established himself as an internationally recognized scholar in his field by the time of his return to Thailand in 1972. Back at Thammasat University in June 1972, he immediately became one of the university's leading activists. He led student demonstrations at the US Embassy in Bangkok following the Mayaguez incident. He was heavily engaged: writing papers, attending meetings, carrying out research, organizing and lecturing to hundreds of committed young people. The student movement which was to overthrow the military dictatorship in the 1973 Thai popular uprising was heating up and Thammasat was at its epicenter.
