THAILAND

The Royal Thai Armed Forces are heavily involved in PSYOPS actions both on Thailand's external borders in anti narco trafficking operations and internally in it's Southern States - where Muslim secessionist rebels are active in their struggle for an Islamic State, separate from Buddhist Thailand.

PSYOPS forms part of the overall military Directorate of CIVIL AFFAIRS.

Within the Supreme Command Structure, The Directorate of Joint Civil Affairs (J-5)

has numerous sub Divisions, namely:

General Affairs Division - GAD
Policy and Plans Division - PPD
Information Division - INFOD
Public Relations Division (PRD)
Psychological Operations Division - PSYOPD
Civil Affairs Division - CAD
Military Development Division - MDD
National PSYOPS Committee Secretariat Division - NPOCSD

Tactical PSYOPS plays units are housed within the Special Operations Forces and are known colloquially as red hats, owing to their distinct maroon 'special forces / airborne' beret.

An equally important role in Thai Political and Civil Government structures is the Applied Psychology Institute, administered by the Supreme Command.

The Applied Psychology Institute - API, is responsible for educating selected senior personnel from the 3 Armed Forces, from the Royal Thai Police, State Enterprises and prominent businesses in order to promote mutual understanding

amongst them, and to enhance their skills in social psychology, political warfare, psychological operations planning and public relations.
