Thai teacher caught caning students (Video)
Secretly recorded mobile phone footage has exposed a teacher at a Catholic boarding school in north-eastern Thailand who whacked dozens of students on the buttocks with a cane wrapped with electrical wire.
Art teacher Somchai Limthanmaporn was fired after he was exposed hitting at least 40 students, according to Nongkran Prathumtri, an administrator at St Mary’s School in the north-eastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima. She said the school would not defend him.
The footage of last week’s canings was aired on Monday on Thai television.
Parents of the students at St Mary’s have already filed complaints with police over the beatings, meted out as punishment to students who failed to clean their living quarters.
