VOICED : Thai juntas spin doctors prescribe national happiness

The Thai army is attempting to reshape its image through 'happiness events' despite having seized power from a democratically elected government. It has detained activists, politicians, and journalists, banning dissent. While promoting societal happiness, the army suppresses protests and dissenting opinions.
