In Thailand, the fate of thousands of young people when they turn twenty-one is determined not by a personal decision or professional choice, but by a ticket drawn from a lottery box. A black card means continuing life normally, and a red card means joining compulsory military service for two full years. With escalating security tensions on the border and increasing fears of sending recruits to the battle fronts, the moment of the draw turns into a difficult test for young men and their families. Among popular beliefs and prayers for luck, there are also accusations of corruption and bribery that allow some to escape service.
