The Free Thai Movement was a Thai underground resistance movement against Japan during World War II.

During World War II, Japanese forces invaded Thailand early on the morning of December 8, 1941 - shortly after the attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Heavy fighting broke out, as the Thai military resisted. However, the Prime Minister, Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, ordered a ceasefire at noon, and thereafter entered into an armistice that allowed Japan to use Thai military installations in their invasion of Malaya and Burma. On December 21, a formal military alliance with Japan was concluded. The Free Thai Movement was a Thai underground resistance movement against Imperial Japan during World War II. The movement was an important source of military intelligence for the Allies in the region. The Free Thai Movement is notable for being the only World War II resistance movement which used fighter aircraft of its own.
