Society in general has become rotten...good and bad in all countries...not just Thailand

Awesome....love his music....he is a real classic....

Just a little C&P.

It's pronounce as "Gu Man Thong", but there is a few variance to his name. Some ppl call Gumantong, Kumantong & Gumanthong. Also some ppl just use the word GMT or KMT to represent. More ppl name it as Gumantong.

Gumantong is a Thai amulet (yin amulet) created in the form of a lovely young child, but it's really a ghost. It's was first created in the early of Ayuthaya era or some 500 years ago during Khun Paen's life period. It can be said that Khun Paen was the first who created Gumantong. He brought the dead baby from the womb of the dead Bua Klee, one of his minor wife, to the Bosth's outer area within Pathasima marking boundary pillars for ritual processes. Bosth is the major chanting hall where the main Buddha image of the temple is placed. Bosth and its outer area are so sacred place that no mighty ghosts or spirits can enter to make any harassment. By the legendary descriptions, Khun Paen was chanting some important Mantras to activate the spirit of Gumantong while baking the dead baby on the fire. Khun Paen was a military general in the early Ayuthaya era.

It's Thai belief that a mother who died with her baby in the womb may become a very mighty ferocious ghost, Thai people call such the ghost PHI TAI TONG KLOM. By Thai traditon, any pregnant lady who died in that manner will not be cremated immediately in all cases, believing that it will make the spirit of the dead unhappy and may activate her to become the vicious ghost. Creating Gumantong in the ancient time was very thrilling. The master had to go to the graveyard alone in the night, dig up the corpse, cut the corpse's abdomen bringing the dead baby out, and then rush directly to the nearest Bosth's outer area for baking processes.That's the safe place to protect the ghost mother from trying to bring her baby back. So only the strong-mind person who possesses the advanced magical knowledge to fight the ghost could do this. If the ghost child is very fierce (can’t rest in peace), the monk or master will have to chant daily for years till the hatred & sin is cleansed.

The original form of the Gumantong is actually a dead infant, but it is traditionally created in the form of a young child in different shapes, sizes & forms with various materials, such as wood, bronze, ivory tusk, plaster,etc. The main purpose of creating Gumantong in the ancient time is for protecting the owner. The young child ghost could be activated with Mantra to fight the owner's enemies or to protect the owner's treasures.

In the present day the monks or masters seldom uses the dead infants to create the Gumantong. But more commonly they create it with varies material including things like corpse soil (死尸泥), corpses oil & activate their lives by holy Mantras. They are uses for various purposes, including for black magic, winning in gamble, guarding the house, protecting the owner's house or personal protection, etc.

I knew that there are some very evil Gumantong are create by black magic monks, guru or master, those Gumantong are uses to do bad things. That will add on the bad karma to the person owning it. Some Gumantong are very difficult to tame & they even need to be feed on blood. It's easy to have them as your ghost child but not so easy if you decided not to want it anymore. Must bring to Thai temple & let the monks keep it in the temple.

Any one who wants to worship Gumantong should be acknowledged with some important practices :

1. Food offering must be presented at least once a day.

2. Toy offering must also be presented occasionally, it's just because Gumantong is a young child(spirit), he likes playing toys as another human child.

3. The worshiper should love Gumantong as his/her son. For the 1st personal pronoun you call yourself "father" or "mother"; for the 2nd personal pronoun you call him "my son" ; and for the 3rd personal pronoun you just call his name Guman Thong.

4. Any house that has small child/children, it's recommended that should not bring in and worship Guman Thong because he may envy your child/children whom you pay all love to.

Worshipping Guman Thong needs deliberate practices. But if you can do it completely as recommended, he will be a good great fortune bringer.

This pic makes me wanna cry....but also angry at the same time!

Sure it's not lice making you scratch your balls ?

If it is lice, rub some icing sugar on your balls.

It won't kill them but it rots their teeth, you'll get a good nights sleep.

hahahahaha.....thats a pretty unique..and *sweeeeeeeeet* suggestion...for a pretty *sweaty* situation....LMAO!

eeeeeeeeeeeek!

How could people do such a thing. Killing their own unborn children. Hundreds of them.

They are not hundreds, they are thousands

Bloody sickening!....clearly shows they don't give a dam_n.....the *good time* had before was obviously more important to them....no sense of responsibility for their *actions* i guess

Bloody awful...you would think that the *mothers* of these *foetuses* would have been more sensible and careful in making sure that proper contraception was in place...before having a good time..with whoever! ...Also...what about the aids factor???...not insisting on condom usage is murder in itself is it not?

Guess these ARE both a world wide problem...

God Bless the souls of the foetuses in question!

Junk food is certainly popular world wide....but gotta admit that healthy Thai food definitely *outweighs* the shit preserved stuff!

Sick bastard....MHDSRIP!

Cooked brain....toasted nuts...what a hot combination...lol...

All just really beautiful...kids are a real gift for sure...so guess we can all count our blessings!

Very sad to read this....he must have been really desperate...and alone..

Once again thank you. I have another home but I will not bore you with more pic's.

Bye

I think all here like seeing pics of nice homes in Thailand.

None would be bored

You have done a few haven't you? May I ask...Is it your business or did you just want to move?

Hi Flying, I have done around 10 homes, mostly mine. Have done a couple for clients that bought homes from me but I do not do this as a business, I'm an amateur, I'd never class or call myself a designer or interior decorator, just enjoy doing it. I have learned my mistakes and enjoyed improving on the next home. The large Thai timber home I sold and the rest I rent out, including the new pic's. I do everything from simple construction alterations to interior decoration and gardens.

Bye

ABSOLUTELY gorgeous...

gotta love a multi-storey structure....but guess its what you can or can't afford isn't it?

This is very sad news indeed....earthquakes and volcanic eruptions seem to be taking place more and more often....makes you wonder why?

Airport taxes are the killers.....sometimes paying more for the taxes than the flight itself....doesn't make sense to me!

Age is just a number really... is it not??
