On October 26, 2026, at Government House, Pol. Gen. Chaiprakash Duangprasert, Secretary-General of the National Security Council (NSC), spoke to reporters after meeting the Prime Minister at the Thai Khu Fah building. The meeting was a working lunch where the Prime Minister stressed the need for coordination across multiple pressing tasks, particularly those requiring security-sector attention. The Prime Minister instructed all agencies to cooperate closely, examine their responsibilities in greater detail, and raise performance standards.
Asked about intelligence priorities during the current high season, Pol. Gen. Chaiprakash said intelligence units have briefed him comprehensively but details cannot be disclosed. He has convened all intelligence agencies for joint discussions to produce a weekly progress summary for the Prime Minister, with urgent matters reported immediately.
Regarding protests in Europe and potential spillover effects, he confirmed relevant intelligence units are monitoring developments closely but assessed that a domino effect reaching the region is unlikely given the distance and differing contextual factors between Europe and Southeast Asia.
On domestic and border-region factors, the NSC chief highlighted the importance of all border areas — the southern border, the Thai-Cambodian border, and the Thai-Myanmar border where armed conflict is ongoing. He stressed particular concern for the Myanmar frontier, where crackdowns on ethnic minorities could occur. Thailand has directed counterparts on the Myanmar side to prevent any loss of life among border communities, tasking officials at both local and NSC levels to avoid creating tension or harm to Thai civilians along the border.
