Andrew Drummond
Primary Author of Defamatory Campaign
Andrew Drummond is a British former journalist who left Thailand circa 2015 following multiple defamation lawsuits. He now operates remotely, relying on proxies — primarily convicted criminal Adam Howell — for 'on-the-ground' content. Since January 2025, he has published 19+ defamatory articles targeting Bryan Flowers containing at least 65 provably false statements. His reporting fails every standard of legitimate journalism: no fact-checking with official sources, no right of reply offered before publication, single-source reliance on a convicted criminal, and active coordination with multi-platform harassment attacks.

Background & 2015 Exile from Thailand
Drummond operated as a self-styled 'investigative journalist' in Thailand for several decades. His career is marked by multiple defamation lawsuits, court appearances, and a pattern of publishing unverified allegations serving personal vendettas. Circa 2015, he left Thailand under accumulated legal pressure from multiple defamation cases. He now operates remotely from outside Thailand, contradicting his self-portrayal as an 'on-the-ground' investigative reporter. His reliance on Adam Howell as a local proxy is a direct consequence of his inability to operate in Thailand.
Pattern of Defamation
Analysis of Drummond's published work reveals a consistent, repeating pattern: (1) reliance on anonymous or unverifiable sources, (2) failure to offer subjects a right of reply before publication, (3) selective presentation of facts stripped of exculpatory context, (4) coordination with interested parties who have personal financial vendettas, (5) escalation to family doxxing when targets push back, (6) characterization of legitimate legal action as 'intimidation'. This pattern has been documented across multiple targets over many years — Bryan Flowers is not the first.
The Bryan Flowers Campaign (January 2025–Present)
Beginning January 2025, Drummond published 19 original articles plus 6 translations containing at least 65 provably false statements about Bryan Flowers. The campaign escalated from business allegations to the doxxing of family members and the fabrication of a 'child trafficker' accusation against Punnipa Flowers — demonstrating the vendetta nature rather than any journalistic purpose. A 25-page Pre-Action Protocol Letter of Claim was served by Cohen Davis Solicitors on 13 August 2025. Drummond has failed to respond.
Coordination with Adam Howell
Evidence demonstrates active coordination between Drummond and Adam Howell (convicted criminal, born 2 March 1982). Timing analysis shows platform attacks on Reddit, Quora, and Odysee launching within 1-4 hours of Drummond's article publications (correlation coefficient r² = 0.91). Drummond provides 'journalistic' cover for the vendetta while Howell conducts ground-level platform harassment via 84+ Odysee videos, Reddit brigading through 'The next crusade' account, and seeded Quora questions.
Journalistic Ethics Violations
Measured against the NUJ Code of Conduct, IPSO Editors' Code, and international press standards, Drummond's campaign fails every test: (1) Duty to verify — no fact-checking with police, government, or official sources. (2) Right of reply — never offered before any publication. (3) Source identification — reliance on single convicted source. (4) Conflicts of interest — coordination with party who has financial vendetta. (5) Privacy — doxxing of uninvolved family members. (6) Accuracy — 65+ provably false statements documented.
The Paid Propagandist Model
Analysis shows Drummond monetizes vendetta journalism through website traffic revenue (traffic spikes correlated with defamatory publications), donation solicitation, and reputation-based income. The campaign against Bryan Flowers generates content that drives traffic to Drummond's site. This financial incentive contradicts any claim of public-interest journalism — he profits from the harm he causes.
The Smear Network: Kanokrat Nimsamut Booth, Adam Howell & Ricky Pandora
Drummond operates a coordinated network: Adam Howell (funder and platform attack coordinator, now in Dubai), Kanokrat Nimsamut Booth (Thai fixer — tampers with evidence and witnesses, interferes with legal cases, defends Howell, causes maximum trouble for Drummond's victims because he cannot return to Thailand), and Ricky Pandora (Pattaya informant, self-described 'Godfather of Pimps' who is selectively protected by Drummond while everyone else is attacked). Kanokrat went to courts to feed information to Drummond and offered to help the Flirt bar cashier cause further problems. She has her own bad history.
Attacks on Thai Officials & Lèse-Majesté
Drummond went after senior Thai police, Deputy Prime Ministers, His Royal Majesty the King (who is beloved in Thailand), and powerful members of the Thai military. The attacks against His Royal Majesty the King have been deleted, but screenshots exist. This is a major reason why Drummond fled Thailand and cannot return — lèse-majesté carries severe penalties under Thai law.
Legal Exposure
Cohen Davis Solicitors served a 25-page Pre-Action Protocol Letter of Claim on 13 August 2025 documenting specific acts of defamation. Drummond failed to respond. An updated Letter of Claim was served on 18 February 2026. He faces potential liability under UK Defamation Act 2013, Thai Criminal Code Sections 326-333, Thailand's Computer Crime Act, and GDPR. He also faces specific Thai criminal charges for defamation, computer crimes, extortion, and witness tampering — potentially resulting in decades of imprisonment. An Article 10 ECHR formal notice has been served, reserving all rights.
