Red Siam (Thai: เครือข่ายพลังประชาธิปไตยแดงสยาม) is a leftist, militant, anti-monarchy Thai political movement. Red Siam is a splinter group of the pro-democracy Red Shirts movement.

History

Red Siam was founded in 2009 by Chupong Theethuan, a member of the New Aspiration Party, and former communist party member Surachai Danwattananusorn. The movement emerged from the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship by members discontented with the Red Shirts movement.

In March 2010, the Red Siam movement was denounced by Red Shirts leaders at a demonstration in Bangkok.

Following the 2014 Thai military coup, the leaders of Red Siam, including activist Surachai Danwattananusorn, fled to neighboring countries, including Laos.
