The Village Scouts edit

The Village Scouts (Thai: ลูกเสือชาวบ้าน) were intensely trained and recruited to despise Communists and other "un-Thai" characters.... [Why did we do that?

  • Rituals of National Loyalty: An Anthropology of the State and the Village Scout Movement in Thailand. By Katherine A. Bowie. New York: Columbia University Press, 1997. 393 pp.
For the first sixty years or so of Thai constitutional monarchy government, change and continuity of politics were determined mainly within the small elite classes. That, fortunately, meant coups, counter-coups, murders and assassinations, and other forms of intimidation and betrayal were cultivated and used almost exclusively among and upon the elite themselves. Since politics revolved around a small circle of related people, most of the political violence took place in covert acts and in nonadministrative manners.
But this salient aspect of violence in Thai politics was dramatically altered in the massacre of 6 October 1976. In the morning of that day, the municipal police and the Border Patrol Police (BPP) units together with the Red Gaurs, Village Scouts, and Nawaphon [นาวาพล "boat scouts"] attacked the peaceful demonstrations in the football field of Thammasat University. Thousands of people, including students and workers, were protesting against the return of the deposed Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn to the country. The unarmed demonstrators were violently and cruelly put down. Many ran for their lives, some three thousand were arrested and, according to official figures, 145 were wounded and 46 died. The 6 October massacre effectively checked the tide of people's politics and participation, especially from the students and underprivileged classes like workers, peasants, and small producers, in political process and system.
It is widely known that the various right-wing groups which violently attacked the demonstrators were organized by the state; the Krating Daeng, or Red Gaurs, was established by the military's Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), the Village Scouts by the BPP, and the Nawaphon by the Interior Ministry.

The problem with Thailand's pro-democracy movement is that is has been taken over by radicals and communists if not actually founded by the same.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 17:32, 10 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Talking about PARU. edit

Hello, all,

Just what is the actual meaning of the acronym "PARU"? I find three different explanations, with the sole difference the meaning of the "R". When I run them through Google Advanced Book Search looking for reliable sources, I find:

  • "Police Aerial Resupply Unit", with 262 hits;
  • "Police Aerial Reinforcement Unit", with 271 hits;
  • "Police Aerial Reconnaissance Unit", with 49 hits.

So what's an editor to do? Can anyone help me with a definitive answer, complete with source?

It's "Police Aerial Reinforcement Unit", according to the division's website (in Thai).[1] The current official name is "Airborne Support Division, Border Patrol Police Bureau", but a change to "Aerial Reinforcement Division" is being considered.[2] --Paul_012 (talk) 16:25, 16 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
