You cant make this shit up

The concept reminds me too much of the re-education centres set up by Pol Pot, not good.

A statement like that from you surprises me.

Being sent to a "re-education," camp/centre that was set up by the Khmer rouge meant near-certain death

so after almost 2 years, these morons are so delusional that they can

1. create a new (enhanced) program for arbitrary detention and forced disappearance,
2. announce on their official national news/propaganda channel, and
3. claim blithely that it doesn't violate human rights

does this show all of you junta supporters who these guys really are?

Maybe they mean they will adjust a person's Pitch, Yaw and Roll? Sorry. I am an aerospace engineer and that is what I think when I hear attitude.

I mentioned the "concept" not the actual activity, it's within the concept of establishing re-education centres that I see similarities - call them attitude adjustment centres, re-education centres or whatever they will, they are very similar, places where citizens are incarcerated against their will, despite rule of law and where opinions are forcibly changed - the difference between the two is the means.

The most insidious thing about this , is not the forced (against will ) detainment of civilians .

It's the international lack of imposition.

And fact no sanctions have been applied.

People there are not free to say they hate being told what to think and / or say.

And they may well not approve of people with guns pretending to have any credence of right to tell them what to do.

But to haul them into a place and kept is a violation of human rights .

Do this and in future those responsible will be punished in a similar fashion with a program that's much longer than 7 days

Not a bad idea! The people that are complaining are the corrupt politicians that have stolen billions from the Thai people!

After 13 years here, I support everything the current government is doing! They really need another 5 years to clean up the

mess from the last 15 years of corrupt (bought) elected governments!

A pint of the Kool aid this fella is drinking please.

what is actually the content of such a program?

are people allowed to talk about it?

Sure people are allowed to talk about their "attitude adjustment" as long as it goes something like,

I was treated well, we just talked, everything is ok, and now I have changed my attitude regarding everything I believed in before and I see that it's for our own good as they know what is best for us. I mean we are just simple minded uneducated low-so people so we need to have them tell us what to think and what to say...

Also they said it's not a breach of civil rights, so who am I to object?

There is literally no defending this.

Well I would if only I could get my recalcitrant wife enrolled for a double session

"They really need another 5 years to clean up the mess from the last 15 years of corrupt (bought) elected governments!"

Yes, because that's when the corruption in Thailand started. The juntas and other governments since 1932 have been squeaky clean!

After Thaksin wins the next election (whenever that may be) I hope he has the balls to haul all these Generals and their acolytes into his own PTP re-education camps. Perhaps 7 days spent tending to rice paddies would give these rich fools an understanding of what life is like for the poorer 99% of Thais and show them why democracy is so important for the underclasses - it is their only hope for a better future for themselves and their children. Prayuth and go are trying to deny the undeniable.

Extremely humorous, like Thaksin would have any idea what life is like for the poorer 99% of Thais. Hilarious, good one, is that your entire routine or is there more?

Surely the election victories will give you a clue. Head in the sand..

And who is the Minister of Luv?

Isn't it the "Minister of Happiness" here?

Fair comment. Do tell who clean up military corruption. At least elected governments still have recourses to clean up corruption. Military? Do provide some insight on cleaning up military corruption please.

Intimidation is an infringement of civil rights. Attitude Adjustments are intimidation.

"re-education' under Pol Pot meant death with no chance of parole......As reprehensible these buffoons are, I don't think they'll go that far.....yet....

Then why the threat to have these AA camps in the South?

Remember, schools burnt down, teachers killed in front of students, daily bombing with almost 3,000 death so far.

This is very clearly a death threat.

Well, the Spanish inquisition tried it a few hundred years ago,You wouldnt expect it again,but then we all know.NO BODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!

I am sure that after your attitude has been adjusted (or not) you will be required to sign a few documents.

Getting more Orwellian by the day. Freaky.

Most people here don't even know what that word means, sadly.

Un-frigging-believable. 'nuff said.

I am surprised that more pressure from outside Thailand has not been applied to end this Orwellian charade.

I agree Thaksin was a crook ...but show me a politician that wasn't.

Some would justly argue it's a criminal act taking over a Nation?

Certainly , locking people up is , if simply for their attitude .?

I ignore people with a pro AA outlook.

People here from either side see in general it's wrong.

Ironically , the general himself might not yet.

But the international community might say something about detaining people and essentially jailing them against their will for crimes which are as dubious as a paper opinion piece or a Facebook like.

History teaches us these guys fall

What is interesting is that AA, putting people in re-education gulags or returning them their peasant roots for cleansing is more usually associated with regimes that claim to be "People's Democracies".

All the old East European Warsaw Pact "democracies", Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot - all had AA and all claimed to be socialist people's democracies.

The Nazis didn't bother trying - their concentration camps weren't intended to reform.

The "international community" is littered with countries that have oppressive regimes, stifle free speech, and have dubious elections. The "Western" countries held up as bastions of free speech and democracy have scandals coming out now information is more easily and freely available Sure they will condemn Thailand, whilst saying nothing about Malaysia, Saudi or Turkey; whilst they all seek to create new laws to allow them to detain people more easily and secretly under the guise of national security.

AA has, and never will work. You can't force people to believe what they know to be untrue.

Why are you junta fans banging on about Thaksin as though us anti junta types love the guy. I don't give a stuff about him personally. I, and I think most like minded posters on here would be just as anti if they'd deposed the Dems, the Monster Raving Loonies or any other democratically elected govt. So instead of continually referring to Mr T it would be more useful to hear your opinions on the actions of the junta, especially regarding dragging people off for 'Attitude adjustment'.

Ian sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry

i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry i am sorry

this poster has too much time on his hands.

Attitude adjusting is just what you folks need here.

I wrote a scathing reply to this that could possibly see me hauled in for a session or two myself, but when I posted it the website crashed! I thought, 'now you've done it!'

Please post it again.
