rooster59 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 A clampdown launched by the police against mediums Police of the Crime Suppression and Technology Crime Suppression divisions have been ordered to launch a nationwide clampdown on mediums, especially those who claim they have connections with members of the royalty. Central Investigation Bureau commissioner Pol Lt-Gen Thitirat Nongharnpitak who oversees the CSD and the TCSD police said that most mediums are engaged in activities to fool the gullible into giving them money. He said the police had been instructed to first approach the mediums and to tell them to stop the practice, but if it was discovered that they had cheated the victims, then legal actions would be taken against them.

ezzra Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ok, now they are being ridiculous in wasting time chasing every sharletan, soothsayer, Mo doo, diviner, fortune teller, crystal gazer, clairvoyant, psychic, spiritualist, medium, and palmist that make probably millions of them including thigh ranking clergy, it would be easier to say that who ever caught associating themselves with the monarchy will be dealt with.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheated them how? By not actually being clairvoyant? There is some comedy gold in that concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 These mediums just need to get a bit more savvy. If they start selling amulets, or fortune cookies, or pieces of unusually shaped timber, or deformed small animals, or over priced special lucky number lottery tickets .... then everything will be hunky-dory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scorecard Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 I hope it includes monks who give lucky lottery numbers etc. Including monks standing at trees (and more) saying they they can see or hear (nobody else can see or hear it) the item giving out lucky numbers. Our 'aunty' goes to car accidents where folks have been killed and claims she can see lucky numbers in the wreck. Then she regularly buys lottery tickets worth thousands of Baht. She's never won even one satang. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he simply cancelled his previous "vision" about an election, waited a few days thinking everyone would just forget about it. And then SHAZAM! Predicted there would be an election in February 2019!

Popular Post Sir Dude Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 The very fact that it's got to the point where the police have to clamp down on out-of-control mediums and fortune tellers etc. really is ridiculous and indicative of the state of many people's minds here. Self-appointed psychics and sooth-sayers really shouldn't be on the "To do" list of the police....haha, give me a break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
