The Royal Thai Army has offered an apology to the family of a deceased cadet for mistakenly notifying him to report for conscription.

 

The first-year cadet, at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School, Pakapong Tanyakan died suddenly in 2017 after studying at the institute for six months.  He was hospitalized after allegedly being punished by a third-year student, who told him that he was “walking in a way only permitted for senior students”.  He was punished twice at around 8pm and 10pm on Aug 23rd, 2017.

 

According to his father, he had a broken rib, two broken collar bones and internal bruising to his stomach and back.  Doctors at the Phra Mongkutklao Military Hospital, who conduct the initial autopsy, insisted that he died of cardiac arrest.

Sickening.

first step in a better society :  get rid of useless ARMY

 

coup nr what now ? 18,19,20 ? 

I would have been tempted to take the urn containing his ashes to the recruiting center report for duty and shame the bar stewards.

What a truly sickening indictment of an Army in a Country  run by an Army Junta.

Shame on them all

I am sure the lad would have been an outstanding Soldier in another Army.

RIP

Sounds like a case of murder to me.

Non serviam! Refusing to pull is the only answer. The draft is a dinosaur.
