Did offgun draw lots for military service?

Therefore, many Thai men regard the lottery as a major event in their lives. If they are unfortunately drawn, they will be heartbroken and even faint on the spot. Why are Thais so afraid of being soldiers? For healthy Thai men, there is one thing that they can't escape all their lives, and that is conscription.

In Thailand, everyone has the obligation to perform military service according to law. According to this regulation, every male citizen who reaches the age must go to military service registration and decide whether to join the army by drawing lots. The general service period is two years. However, if a volunteer serves, his service period can be less than two years, reduced by six months to one year.
