Human Takraw Ball Print E-mail
Takraw
 
A popular game in Thailand is called Takraw. It is played much like volleyball though you have to use your feet instead of your hands. The ball is small and hard and is made from rattan.  In prisons they used to have a man-sized version which was used for torturing prisoners. The man was placed inside this ball. If you look closely then you will see that there are many sharp nails. This ball was then kicked around the prison yard by an elephant! Very painful and bloody.
