By playing endless amount of propaganda songs

Interesting; here history is twisted. What I learnt was that King Chulalongkorn had the first radio station installed in 1911 - after returning from his second trip to Europe. 

 

Radio Thailand - owned by the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand - was launched shortly before WW2 in 1938.
