Khattiya Sawasdipol

Who was Khattiya Sawasdipol?

Khattiya Sawasdipol, alias Seh Daeng, was a major general in the Royal Thai Army, assigned to the Internal Security Operations Command. He claimed to have helped the United States spy on North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and to have taken part in the CIA-financed "Secret War" against the communists in the Plain of Jars, in Laos. Khattiya also allegedly disguised himself as a Muslim in order to infiltrate rebel groups in Aceh, Indonesia, no matter how unlikely this seems.
