If you’ve ever walked away from an argument wishing you could’ve just landed a punch — but didn’t because, you know, laws exist — Thailand may have cracked the code for guilt-free venting.
A viral video making waves online shows people lining up in Thailand, not for food or selfies, but to throw punches at life-sized mud statues. Yes, you read that right—mud statues. And the best part? These statues might just represent people they hate, exes, annoying coworkers, or whoever has been living rent-free in their minds.

The video shows a crowd of people taking turns throwing jabs and uppercuts at these faceless (or maybe not-so-faceless) figures. While it’s unclear whether the statues are modelled after real enemies or just generic faces, the satisfaction on the participants’ faces is pretty clear: this is some next-level stress relief.

Whether it’s actually therapeutic or just a hilarious outlet for pent-up frustration, the viral video has definitely caught the internet’s attention.
