CIA Declassified: Communist Entry into Malaya from Thailand




23 June 1950

 1. Although there is no evidence that the Thailand-Malaya border is being developed as a major line of communication with Communist organizations outside Malaya, it continues to present an obstacle in the Security Forces campaign against Communist-dominated terrorists in Malaya.

 2. It is evident that Chinese are crossing the border from Thailand into Malaya almost continuously. Some of these are merely illegal immigrants going south with the monsoons, but under such cover Communists could also enter. Activity of this kind is expected to increase now that Hainan is in Communist hands.

 3. Because of the absence of Thai coastal patrols and the laxity of her immigration authorities, illegal entry could be made into Thailand by boat and thence across the border into Malaya. *

 4. It is now believed that some of the arms smuggled into Malaya come from Manila via Thailand.

 * Comment. The use of submarines would be an effective method of bringing Chinese to the eastern coast of Thailand or Malaya.
