Pattaya Goddess issues her warning - then carries out her threat on the police!

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported that considerable damage was done to ten police vehicles and other property at the force's flats in Soi 5 off Pattaya Sai 2 yesterday when a large tree came toppling down.

 

Rescue workers were quickly on the scene as electrical engineers surveyed the damage to wires. Fortunately no one was hurt.

 

But the event was predicted according to a local woman.

 

Sanook said that Jao Mae Takhian - the goddess of the trees - had appeared in a dream to the owner of a traditional Thai massage shop in the area.

 

The goddess had warned of the collapse of the 20 meter tall tree and the massage shop owner had advised people to move out their valuables.

 

Some did - but many of the police clearly didn't get the message.....or ignored the portent of doom.

 

There is a shrine to the spirit in the area.

Oh - how sad.  Hopefully they were fully insured.

Or funds were allocated for insurance but somehow it got mislaid.

Sometimes it gets so stupid, that it impossible to make a meaningful comment.....

Which I just proved....

[jacko45k]

So was the tree holding the cables up or vice-versa?

Maybe the Goddess can appear and tell them where the Red Bull guy is !

I'd guess that whichever country you come from will have shrines to the supernatural so that country would be just as "primitive", yes?

I believe the technical term in the UK is ‘church’ rather than shrine.

What's the going rate for a Pattaya godess to show up in the middle of the night these days? Just asking for a friend who wants to turn a dream into reality.

Especially one with a label saying 'Distilled and Bottled in Scotland'

The police have now issued an arrest warrant for Jao Mae Takhian - the goddess of the trees.  The charge is criminal damage and embarrassing the police.

A/ thailand 4.0

B/ thai thumb what’s it up per prayuts new education aim

C/ ignorant stupidity

D/ vengeful God’s.

An impressive group of trees on that corner

 

I always take time to admire them when passing during a visit to Pattaya.

 

A shame to seem one of them go.

No, because he was refering to the Superstitions and not the Shrines, and this country and its superstitions are laughable to put it mildly.

[champers]

Just a cursory look at this police accomodation makes it apparent that the job is poorly paid. It is probably the case that the honest cops are housed here; I know of one living there who will not take bribes and has a second job on the side as a security guard to make ends meet.

[JSixpack]

Any mention of a Pattaya goddess needs an accompanying description.

No different to europe and usa where people believe the dead come back to life then float up into the sky.

Or guys in long black frocks can forgive you for murdering someone and then you can join the floaters up there somewhere when they hang you or whatever.

Seems fancy red, white or black gowns can make you so much better than the peasants beneath you that you keep asking for money. ??

Yes that nonsense was popular with others than myself but, but for me here now it is go go bar.  Worshipping at the alter of Venus, if not the Mount (before someone thinks I ever thought of it.)

I know that, but only for the churches, the shrines are technically called shrines.

And you seriously think that the superstitions that western (let's say Christian/Muslim etc) countries' religious followers have are not laughable?  That's even more laughable.

Laugh if you want. 

My son dreamed he won a scholarship to highschool. 3 days later the scores came out. 

He had indeed won. 

Dreams really do come true.

You have any figures about how many applicants had the same dream and didn't win?

And then they're dreaming of 'Thailand 4.0'... Get educated, then you (Thailand) won't believe in such superstitions anymore. And welcome to the 18th/19th/20th/21st century!

And the followers of the cross and crescent. Not primitive?
