It's a camp where they'll go through the farce of " reconciliation " or get their heads kicked in.
The Asian capacity for totalitarian abuse is inexhaustible.
The point with these youthful proto gangsters is that their allegiance to each other is simply an exercise in social development and provides an outlet which is not available in other circumstances. They know they are not very bright, are hopelessly ill educated and can look forward to a future of providing fodder for a machine which offers no grounds for hope that their futile little lives will amount to more than a hill of beans.
Thai adolescents have no opportunity to engage in team sports. Rivalry cannot be channelled into physical competition simply because for most kids there is fuck all in the way of organised sports, amenities or the will to benefit from such character building.
Thai simply haven't got a society where they are prepared to invest time and effort in something as intangible as that and instead expect children to conform with some crudely imposed discipline until they become suitably conditioned drones for their ghastly society founded upon meek compliance and servility towards higher echelons.
If only the British had decided Thailand was worth the effort to exploit.
They may well be playing cricket and rugby now.
