The Americans dropped leaflets on the Japanese and their allies wherever they were. During WW2 Thailand aligned itself with the Empire of Japan. In 1945, the U.S. Office of War Information (OWI) prepared a leaflet newspaper entitled "Liberation" and dropped it over Bangkok and other major cities.

WW II Thailand - #CTP-1 (Thai Pictorial)
The front of the newspaper depicts two B-29 Superfortress bombers. The caption next to the photograph is:
These B-29 bombers are the largest warplanes in the world. They are 141 feet in size.
The text of the main article is:
Giant B-29 bombers attack from Bangkok to Tokyo. America's giant new air weapons, the B-29 bombers, are heavily attacking Japanese military places throughout Asia. Because the Japanese use Thailand as a military base, the B-29s have bombed Japanese targets in Bangkok. They have also caused great damage to Singapore, Rangoon and Penang.
No target is too distant for these bombers. Japan itself has been attacked time after time. Great damage has been visited on the capitol city of Tokyo. The B-29s have also dropped many bombs on the Japanese cities of Nagoya, Sasebo, Ywata, Omura and Nagasaki. The dockyards, naval bases, aircraft factories, steel mills and other war installations were damaged at these places.
The bombings will be greatly intensified as production of the B-29s is being increased day by day.
