Photograph is probably younger than 50 years, so PD-Thailand does not apply. Bujo (talk) 13:58, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Unlikely that User:Mixvasuvadh is indeed the author of the photo, it was previously published elsewhere. The PD tag was not even added by Mixvasuvadh, but by User:223.24.185.129. Thus, the authenticity of the licence is highly dubious. Bujo (talk) 23:12, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[]

The uploader User:Annop Nakabut states that the image was taken from this website where it was uploaded by a user named น้ำเกลือยอดเยี่ยม ("excellent salt water") in February 2006 without any copyright notice. After my first deletion request, User:223.24.185.129 added a PD tag, claiming that Thai Wikipedia user User:Mixvasuvadh had released the image into public domain. It is however highly unlikely that this user was indeed the author of the photograph (unfortunately Thai Wikipedia is quite lax on image rights). Indeed, the image seems to be an official photograph from the time General Suchinda was commander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Army from 1990 to 1992. --Bujo (talk) 14:34, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Deleted per above, also machine translation of source page shows no evidence of free license nor of blogger claiming authorship of image. (too bad, was in fairly wide use; finding genuinely free licensed good photo of Suchinda Kraprayoon would be useful for Wikimedia.)-- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[]
