On Thursday the military announced it would set up "reconciliation centres" across the country to organise entertainment for the public and encourage cooperation with the new government, the
Wall Street Journal reported.
The conciliatory tone represents a partial U-turn on the new rulers' previous hardline approach, which included detaining former leaders to "give them time to think", and the introduction of a law barring gatherings of more than five people. The army also imposed a 10pm to 5am curfew, and warned Thais again using social media "to provoke", as "it's not good for anyone".
