Probably not attending is former aide to Gen. Prayut and military officer in ISOC Lt. Gen. Manus Kongpan. The military arrested him in 2015 as a kingpin in human trafficking, detention and ransom. He was "suspended" but never prosecuted in military or criminal courts. He might have had a lot of insight to human trafficking in Thailand.
