A lot of the Thai conscripts, after doing their basic ten-week training, get no more proper training and are used as cheap labour for doing mundane jobs for the higher ranks. This is a waste of tax payer's money and a waste of the young Thai lads time, most senior UK military NCOs would not like composery service, as they would be wasting their time on people who do not want to be there and wasting the military budget, that could be put to better training and equipment. If the Thai government want to continue with conscription, they would be better off making the recruits do their ten weeks of training than making them reservists doing two weekend's of training a month for two years, saving money, and the lads could find jobs and start a career.
