Week of Woe for Thai University: blackmail, initiation death, and shootings
The past week has provide a handful of front-page-newspaper-worthy incidents involving unlucky, unfortunate, and/or misguided post-secondary students and one professor–all separate cases.
The first incident involved the investigation resulting in termination of a Thammasart University professor, who had allegedly try to blackmail a female student for a oral satisfying his/mountain bird,’–the Thai phrase being, ‘Ohm Nok Kao’ อมนกเขา, can literally be translated as either ‘Suck on mountain bird’, or ’suck on his/her bird’, This type of incident seems to be frequent, and it’s certainly not surprising considering the reputation of Thai uni girls, and all their provocativeness–not to infer that any professor daring to act on his/her desires shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions.
On Monday, an apparent suicide of a Ramkhamhaeng senior took place in front of his friends in his room. Detectives have yet to determine if in fact it was a suicide.
On Tuesday, a Freshmen initiation-hazing session of West Ratchamongkol Institute of Technolgy students went wrong at a Prachuap Kiri Khan resort ending in the death of freshman pledge. Uncertain whether related or not was the shooting of three students while they were on a public Bangkok bus coming back from the previous incident’s funeral.
All such tragic deaths and shootings are currently under investigation and it is too early to make any concrete conclusions other than two ex-students are now dead, and three more in the hospital.
Here is the Thai version of the hazing investigation / bus shooting.
