Not a problem for Thailand.

Prayut can activate 50,000 of the additional 300,000 reservists that he wanted to help promote the draft charter and have them go on fishing boats.

At least they would be productive.

Good luck to them, good luck to their government, good luck to their country in it's aims for development.

..I hope whilst they're back in Myanmar they form an Union and demand humane conditions..Im sure Thailand will negotiate with them if suddenly there is going to be a shortage in labour of 50,000 + fishermen.

This slow shift to respecting and enforcing human rights is a hard change for Thailand to swallow...they'll have to chew on it for a while to see if they can stomach it.

It will take time to develop a taste for human rights.
