Executive Summary
In 30 seconds: Andrew Drummond, a 75-year-old British ex-journalist exiled from Thailand since 2015 following multiple defamation convictions, has published 25 article pages (20 distinct pieces; five posted on both domains) against British entrepreneur Bryan Flowers, December 2024 to September 2026. His sole source is Adam Howell, a convicted Canadian crypto scammer who has fled Thailand to Dubai. 3 criminal cases are pending against him, and on 23 February 2026 the Pattaya Provincial Court awarded Bryan Flowers 50,000 baht in damages with interest against him; he is appealing.
The evidence: 160 featured position papers on this site linking into a full external archive of 391+ papers (drummondrecord.com, drummondaccountability.com, drummondwatch.com), 101 catalogued false or misleading statements with primary-source rebuttals, 85 harassment videos across multiple platforms, 112+ Quora burner accounts, and a coordinated Reddit brigade via r/pattayanews. A 25-page Pre-Action Protocol Letter of Claim was served by Cohen Davis Solicitors on 13 August 2025 — Drummond has not responded. An updated letter was served on 18 February 2026.
Direct Admission Evidence: Adam Howell has admitted in a Facebook Messenger chat to paying Andrew Drummond to conduct the campaign — including paying him extra to target Bryan Flowers' family. See /evidence/paid-to-troll for the 5 chat screenshots. Howell's own words: “I paid him extra to drag Bryan's family and friends into it”.
The pattern: This is not Drummond's first target. Position Paper #24 documents a 14-year pay-per-smear business model targeting 10+ victims with 150+ articles. The Bryan Flowers case is the most extensively documented, but the playbook is the same: dual-site publishing (andrew-drummond.com and andrew-drummond.news), single-source reliance, coordination with Thai fixer Kanokrat Nimsamut Booth, and protection of informant Ricky Pandora (Pattaya's self-proclaimed "Godfather of Pimps").
