It is claimed he clicked on “like” next to a doctored photo of the king of Thailand and a diagram about a growing corruption scandal in the country.

But last night campaign group Human Rights Watch expressed “concerns” about the factory worker’s safety following his arrest.

Spokesman Brad Adams said: “The police, the military and the corrections department have all denied knowledge of Thanakorn’s whereabouts, raising grave concerns for his safety.”

A Thai police spokesman said that Thanakorn had been detained by the military under a sweeping security provision that allows detention without charge for seven days.
