Summary
Apirak Butphet was out with two companions when they spotted three flashlights in the dark. Assuming they were fellow villagers, he approached and asked about their catch, only to find himself face to face with soldiers carrying guns and knives.
Both sides were startled. Apirak tried to explain they were simply hunting frogs, but the language barrier made communication impossible.
