Man collapses after stealing from donation box of ‘serpent king’ in Mukdahan

A drunk thief thought he had been caught by the spirit of the great Naga, a mythical serpent, after he stole almost Bt30,000 from a donation box for the maintenance of a naga statue in Mukdahan Monday.
 

The alleged thief, Sorawit Somboon, 55, suddenly collapsed and remained lying in front of the Phaya Sriphuchong Mukda Nagaraj statue in Mukdahan’s Wan Yai district shortly after he broke the box and stole Bt29,639.50.

 

After police helped him up and took him to the station, Sorawit told them he had tried to run away after the theft but had felt something holding him until he could not breathe, and so he collapsed and lay there helplessly.

 

Some Thais believe there are fearsome Mekong River-dwelling guardian spirits, or naga, that manifest themselves as giant serpents.

Caught by the spirit of the great Lao Khao, is probably more likely !

Correct. Very many Asians can't hold their liquer, or other drugs for that matter.

You'd think they might choose something more practical to manifest themselves in this day and age....maybe someting with wheels, or arms and legs....even a pair of wings to get from A to B quicker.

 

 

 

1 - 0 to Naga the crimebuster then .. Conclusive proof ( if ever needed ) and a great promotion for the supernatural that Thai ghosty spirit things not only exist but really do work .. Non believer's eat yer hearts out .. 

Quote: "A drunk thief" - he must have been drinking a "snake-bite" (cider and lager mixed which can be mind blowing)
