Thailand’s education system has long been associated with the controversial practice of mandating unwanted haircuts for students. This tradition, which dates back several decades, has left many individuals with permanent emotional scars. Despite ongoing discussions about its necessity, the practice continues to affect students’ mental health and self-esteem. Students at Wat That Thong High School in Bangkok often engage in routine activities like shopping for snacks before morning assembly, showcasing the normalcy of these experiences. Many students report feeling embarrassed and humiliated during these procedures, which have become a part of their daily academic life. The psychological impact of these haircuts raises questions about the broader implications of such practices within Thailand’s educational framework. While some believe this tradition is a way to maintain discipline and order, critics argue that it undermines students’ autonomy and self-respect. As the issue continues to be debated, there is growing concern about the long-term effects on students’ mental health and overall well-being.
