That's an interesting story, especially as it's had no coverage here. The problem with politics in this part of the world is that all sides are throwing crooked dice, so you never get a sense of whether this really happened or it's just a false flag to drum up some publicity.
Also, in this modern world of Facebook, CCTV and camera phones it sounds fishy that someone would be snatched in broad daylight on a busy city street. It could quite easily end up all over Facebook within the hour and that would make turning a blind eye impossible.

It was widely reported in both international media at the time and also in the English language press in Thailand. A ‘free Wanchalearm’ twitter account also got hundreds of thousands of followers in Thailand.
It happened.
