A Thai journalist and prominent critic of the country's military rulers has resigned from his newspaper, a day after being released from jail.

Pravit Rojanaphruk tweeted that he was resigning from the Nation newspaper to save it "from further pressure".

He was detained on Sunday and forced to attend an "attitude adjustment" session for violating rules on information.

We've all seen reports of these ominously titled attitude adjustment detentions, but I don't remember seeing any reports of what an attitude adjustment session actually consists of.

I have this silly image of a bunch of journalists, opposition politicians and students in a classroom being lectured by an army officer with a whiteboard, flipchart and Powerpoint presentation...

Or maybe they just stick 'em in jail and let them sweat for a few days? Does anyone know?
(Am I even allowed to ask?)

I think a pitcher of water, a board, and a towel may be involved...

they just sit and talk. no one has been physically tortured during "attitude adjustment" sessions.

i am sure it is a bad feeling not knowing when you can leave.

i heard the military brings in the thai man who sings and plays guitar at the soi 88 food court. he plays "hotel california" over and over and over until you see the light.

I think that "attitude adjustment" is a typo, it should read altitude. That's when they take them up in a chopper and chuck them out.

Only Joking

Nice one, James!

If the Eagles don't get the required result, they could always try Handyman by James Taylor...
