The coup council has appointed a six-member advisory board to look after security, the economy and laws, according to a source.
Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, a former defence minister, is “chairman of the board”.
Gen Anupong Paojinda, ex-army chief, will look after security issues.
Somkid Jatusripitak, a former deputy prime minister, will handle foreign affairs.
M.R. Pridiyathorn Devakula, well known by his nickname “Mom Oui”, a former deputy prime minister, is the economy czar. He is also chairman of the board of Post Publishing Plc, the publisher of the Bangkok Post, Post Today and M2F newspapers.
Narongchai Akrasanee, a former commerce minister, will be assistant to Mom Oui.
Visanu Krue-ngam, an ex-deputy prime minister, will be in charge of administering laws and justice.
Former deputy army chief Gen Daopong Rattanasuwan will serve as secretary-general of the advisory team.
Yongyuth Yutthawong, a former science and technology minister, is an adviser to the council. So are former air force chief ACM Itthiporn Supawong, and Noppadon Inthapanya, former secretary to Gen Prawit.
Also on Tuesday, coup leader Prayuth Chan-ocha ordered all army regions to set up offices to begin yet another attempt at national reconciliation among those divided by colour-coded politics.
A Reconciliation Centre for Reform will be opened by the army in each of the four military regions “to create unity and end the division” between supporters of the red shirts and other-colour groups, army deputy spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said.
The National Council for Peace and Order will be the main driver of the campaign and the first, second, third and fourth army regions will establish the centres in their areas.
Community leaders and key members of all groups will be selected to run the campaign, Col Winthai added.
Army deputy spokeswoman Col Sirichan Ngathong said one of the tasks of the centres was to bring together people with different views to sit at the same table for better understanding and to prevent the spreading of divisive information.
The new move came after security authorities led by the army warned or closed down community radios, most of them run by United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) supporters. The latest one was the Rak Chiang Mai 51 station in Muang district of Chiang Mai, which was searched by soldiers.
They seized a number of items including documents and equipment in the raid.
Protests against the coup have continued since Gen Pruyuth seized power on Thursday after all conflicting parties showed no compromise on their demands.
A group of protesters rallied at the Victory Monument again on Tuesday calling for the army leader to end the coup, with banners and shouts for new elections. They were monitored by police and soldiers dispatched to the area.
