webfact Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Army chief defends use of conscripts as domestic workersBy Coconuts BangkokPhoto: Michael CoghlanBANGKOK: -- The army chief has defended the use of conscripts as domestic workers at the homes of military bosses after a seaman complained about the way he was treated.Deputy Defence Minister and army chief Udomdej Sitabutr backed the practice as users on social media raised their concerns after a seaman complained of abuse by his boss.“Right now, we don’t call them ‘servant soldiers’ anymore. This word doesn’t exist. Right now, we call them ‘service soldiers’ who have a duty to assist their commanders,” he said.The seaman conscript, Anek Polthongwijit, alleged Rear Admiral Benjaporn Bawornsuwan, in Nakhon Pathom, chained him up as punishment after he failed to perform tasks to his satisfaction. The rear admiral denied the allegation, reported the Bangkok Post.“People who sign up for this work do so voluntarily.

Some would call that 'slavery'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokfrog Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Whether they call them servant soldiers or service soldiers doesn't matter. There is nothing "military" in what these kids are asked to do do. This is a carry-over from the corvee labor mentality of old and should be stopped. If these officers need servants, gardeners, etc, they should hire and pay them as employees like everyone else (should). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resimi Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) It's hard to get good help these days... Anek allegedly exposed himself to the rear admiral’s wife. Benjaporn claims the conscript stood under a tree and masturbated while watching his wife through a window. .

Prbkk Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This case relates to a retired officer , so any possible justication on the grounds of needs is spurious and fanciful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 ...and is this how so many officers accumulate 'unusual' wealth....by having taxpayers pick up the tab for everything they need or want. Scandalous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangrak Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thailand is in many, many, aspects still living in the dark middle ages! That mainly because of the so-called 'elites' (old and new) who are also the ones living like leeches, from the blood and sweat of the regular Thai population. All these parasites should be kicked out, old nobility, 'Chinese merchants', higher civil servants, and, of course, the brown and green mafia organisations! Not in the next lifetime I'd say, as they have together a firmer grip over the whole country than 20 years ago. But one day it will come, and when not through evolution, than r-evolution it could alas well be. Nobody there yet, rather nobody left, to start it up and support it, IMO part of the 'collateral damage' created by the wich hunt organised by the CIA after WW2, wherein anyone from bright red to pale pink, was considered an enemy of the country, and had to be 'eliminated', in one way or another, by military, police, murder squads, and courts!

Maybe she is a hot much younger <deleted>... In Thailand the money gets the honey lol Two sides to every story.... Maybe the wife led him on etc and the admiral flipped out Strange that he still kept him after stealing and masterbating for his wife lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick167 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No wonder the local thais do not care about migrant workers being treated like slaves in the fishing and food processing industries as they treat their own the same way especially the poorer thais . This country and its people is beyond salvation. Boycott thai products , services and the country and also treat thais in other countries the way that they treat foreigners in their own....the xenophobic way.

Sviss Geez Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Being chained up like a dog is surely "different" from a life at the barracks As is having stealing from your boss and having a wank in front of your boss's wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Whether they call them servant soldiers or service soldiers doesn't matter. There is nothing "military" in what these kids are asked to do do. This is a carry-over from the corvee labor mentality of old and should be stopped. If these officers need servants, gardeners, etc, they should hire and pay them as employees like everyone else (should). The soldiers volunteer for the positions, can't you read?

ChrisY1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The Thai elite, the wealthy, the connected regard working class Thais as low class people......and, as their management of these people indicates, they are no less slave masters than the fisher folk!
