55 year old Ekachai Chonpakdi, the father of Padyos, has already rejected a 400,000 baht offer from the University’s alumni, or an additional 500,000 from the families of the 7 ring leaders, stating that he intends to take the matter to court.

Need to go after the Uni’s

Correct and a sensible and logical speak h to the problem. Therefore it won’t happen. 
 

As I’ve said before, it’s the deaths and comas we get to hear of. How many kids are severely beaten that never get a mention. Is this what they mean by “Thainess”?  “Thai Style”? “Land of Smiles”?  Or is this more reminiscent of  violent heathen behaviour?

This sort of thing needs to be permanently resolved, anyone taking part in hazing activities will be expelled and charged by the police sentenced to one year in jail

, then its resolved.
