I wonder if Thailand's military junta sees this "violation of sovereignty" as some sort of personal insult against the king. Since the 2014 coup, the military has claimed its rule is necessary to preserve the honor of the Thai royal family. It rabidly prosecutes any perceived insults, which conveniently tend to be committed by critics of the coup. (But of course to criticize the coup is to criticize the king, since the military claims to act only for the sake of the king...)
