Scandal: Military Trainer Punishes Soldier by Forcing Him into Sewage Pit and Beating Him

On February 20th, a Facebook post by Nit-Nichanan Wangkhat, a former election candidate, revealed a shocking incident at the 2nd Royal Infantry Regiment in Prachinburi. The post detailed how two soldiers were punished for returning to camp late by being forced to submerge themselves in a sewage pit up to their necks and then being beaten with a stick across their backs. The post called for an investigation into the excessive punishment, arguing that this goes beyond military disciplinary regulations. The post highlighted previous cases where such punishments have led to serious health complications for soldiers. The military has since confirmed the incident and is preparing to take legal and disciplinary action against those responsible.
