Thailand has seen its fair share of upheaval and turmoil in the past few years. In an attempt to quell public unrest over the next month, the ruling military junta has ordered national broadcasters to air all games of the soccer World Cup for free. Many Thais are under curfew but the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) believes they will be happy if they can watch World Cup games for free. This will please poorer Thais who could not afford the special digital box needed to view the games. The NCPO arranged that all matches would be televised for free on the army-owned stations. It is not such good news for the satellite channel RS, which paid over $20 million for the broadcasting rights.

泰國在過去幾年里一直處于因分配公平而造成的動蕩和混亂之中。為了平息公眾在下個月的動蕩，軍政府已下令全國廣播公司免費直播足球世界杯的所有比賽。許多泰國人受到宵禁,但國家和平與秩序委員會認為人們會因為可以免費觀看足球世界杯比賽而感到開心。這是為了讓那些貧窮的人開心，因為他們沒錢買特殊的數(shù)字電視盒子。NCPO已經安排所有軍屬電視臺免費直播。這對于衛(wèi)星頻道RS來說并不是好消息，因為他們要為轉播權支付2000多萬美元。

NCPO leader Prayuth Chan-ocha said the move is to "return happiness to the Thai people". It is part of the junta's "happiness campaign" aimed at winning hearts and minds following last month's coup. The campaign has also seen free concerts and free haircuts for the poor. The junta is also promising to subsidise farmers, cap the costs of basic foods and start major infrastructure projects. Many soccer-mad Thais will have to watch the free games at home as there is a late-night curfew in most of the country. Thailand's national team is ranked 149th in the world rankings and has never qualified for the World Cup Finals. The tournament began on June the 12th and will finish on July the 13th.

NCPO領導人帕拉育表示,此舉是為了“讓幸?；氐教﹪嗣裆磉?rdquo;。這是軍政府在上個月的政變之后，為贏得民心而開展的“快樂運動”的一部分。這項活動也包括讓貧窮的民眾免費欣賞音樂會、享受免費理發(fā)。軍政府還承諾補貼農民,彌補基本食品的成本，并開始主要的基礎設施項目。因為大多數(shù)國家都有宵禁，所以許多瘋狂的足球迷不得不在家里免費觀看足球比賽。泰國國家隊在世界排名第149位，泰國一直沒有資格參加世界杯決賽。比賽開始于6月12日,將于7月13日完成。
