Patcharaviral's paper was titled Circumventing the Cold War Divisions: Thailand and India in the South-to-South Diplomatic Space. It considered the question of how non-aligned India and US leaning Thailand used the Colombo Plan and the 1955 Bandung Conference to navigate the geopolitical divisions and forge relations with each other.
The content of this paper was a result of Patcharaviral's research trip to Bangkok in August 2019 partly funded by UCL History Department's research funding.
