Rituals referred to collectively as SOTUS - Seniority, Order, Tradition, Unity, Spirit - are commonplace in universities, vocational schools, high schools, and even the military academy each year.

BANGKOK - A Thai high school student kicked into a coma by his schoolmates died Thursday, police said, raising alarm about a hazing culture in the country's institutions.

The most recent case to turn fatal saw a 15-year-old boy in Nakhon Pathom province assaulted late last month by three of his seniors, who allegedly kicked him so hard in the chest that he slipped into a coma. An anti-hazing group recorded an average of 250 cases of hazing in Thailand's educational institutions each year, with only the most horrific ones being brought to light.
