Chatchai Yenbamroong is a Thai tycoon with a portfolio of successful investments—and offshore shell companies for dirty business dealings. He’s a former executive in the business of ex-Thai Prime Minister and fellow tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra, and was an advisor to former Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh.

After the military’s coup attempt, when other foreign oil companies were rushing to exit, Yenbamroong saw opportunity. In 2022, he took over the Yetagun offshore gas project and pipeline from a consortium of Malaysian and Japanese businesses, forming a partnership with the junta-controlled (and EU and US-sanctioned) Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise. This ensures a steady stream of cash that the junta uses to oppress and terrorise the people of Myanmar.
