Thailand's military is trying to win hearts and minds following its controversial military coup by dressing attractive young women in army outfits and asking them to sing, dance and salute to the public.

Images from Bangkok's Victory Monument show glamorous women wearing short camouflage-style dresses and ammunition belt-style dog collars among the gathered crowds.

Female Thai soldiers have also been spotted singing from the backs of military trucks on the capital's streets.

The initiative, which also includes hosting street parties with free food and music, is apparently part of a public-relations campaign by the southeast Asian country's new rulers in the wake of the overthrow of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra last month.

On Thursday the military announced it would set up "reconciliation centres" across the country to organise entertainment for the public and encourage cooperation with the new government, the Wall Street Journal reported.

"The reconciliation process will provide the conditions to bring peace and harmony to our society; we are not going to force the happiness," said Col. Weerachon Sukondhapatipak, a spokesman for the National Council for Peace and Order, the military's post-coup governing body.

The conciliatory tone represents a partial U-turn on the new rulers' previous hardline approach, which included detaining former leaders to "give them time to think", and the introduction of a law barring gatherings of more than five people.

The army also imposed a 10pm to 5am curfew, and warned Thais again using social media "to provoke", as "it's not good for anyone".
