Urgent : Parked rescue ambulance spooks Bangkok family

A rescue worker with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation was upset this week to find a handwritten note on the windshield of his ambulance asking him to park elsewhere because the homeowners there were frightened by its presence.

 

The woman who left the note might share a common aversion to rescue vehicles because some have been used to transport corpses. Not this one, though.

 

Without identifying the woman or the neighbourhood, Nirun Boonplien, 44, posted photos of the note on Facebook.

 

“May I ask you not to park this car in this area,” it said. “Everybody in my family felt scared. We did not even dare open the doors or windows.”

 

Nirun’s van has signs up front saying “ambulance” and “Rescue Ruamkatanyu Foundation”.

 

The rescue worker, who lives in Pathum Thani but has worked in Bangkok’s Don Mueang area for more than 10 years, wrote that he’d always used a red Toyota car on his charitable missions, but about a week ago bought a white van and mounted the signs on it. 

 

“I usually park in the same spot waiting to help people in accidents or other emergencies,” he said. “This is the first time I’ve received such a request. I understand that the complainer thought my vehicle is used to transfer dead bodies.”

 

But Nirun stressed he only carries injured people and delivers first aid, and never transports corpses. 

 

See for yourself, or call him in an emergency, at 081 648 8208

 

Nirun said he will look for new location to park his ambulance.

I had a guy come up to me in central while I was playing a very basic game of hide and seek with my missus’ nephew. He told me not to play it as it may attract ghosts. I told him not to worry as ghosts don’t exist. That was the end of that conversation. Simples.

If your statement is correct, according to you, why have so many been documented around the world and are mentioned in the Holy Bible?

 

'nuf sed.

I read another work of fiction today with my kids, that had unicorns and bears that can talk, are you saying they really exist?

 

As for documented ghosts, documented means nothing, crazies saying they saw one is documented but it doesnt mean it is real. Steer me towards actual proof rather than a work of fiction or documented sightings please.

Why is the word, “Ambulance” printed in English and reversed on the front. Presuming most drivers are Thai speakers, not English speakers, it seems pretty ridiculous.

Your question is irrelevant; most drivers only look in the mirror to check how they look before they set off!

Why don't you ask them on the occasion of your next meeting, or check your religious book of fairytales last page under the section list of references? Are you still sleeping with the lights on?

Here is a document saying the earth is flat, square and stationary. It dates from the late 19 century and is based on your "Holy Bible".

As an added bonus, the author asks for 25 cents to teach you how to foretell eclipses...

So much for "documentation" based on the "Holy Bible".

Have you ever seen a ghost? Have you ever seen God? Just more superstitious nonsence validated only by faith and not by science or rational thought.????

Faith doesn't have to be validated, it can move mountains, especially when your contact lenses start swimming about on your eyeball.

Reversed to allow drivers in front to read in their mirrors what vehicle is trying to get through. In English because usually made for Western ambulances where people avoid blocking them.

Thanks, ClassicRay. I understood all of that. My question is why it’s not in Thai (not that it would help based on previous reports).

Good question, as Thais never use their mirrors.

You my friend are wrong.... Thais do use their mirrors, for putting on their makeup.

Many years ago my Thai son told is wife's older sister that his father (me) doesn't believe in ghosts.

 

Older sister in law reacted in panic saying that non-believers will bring continuous severe bad luck and death to the family they live with.

 

My Thai son countered by saying. 'Well I also don't believe in ghosts and I totally forbid ghosts to enter my property so there's no problem'.

 

Sister in law sat quietly then disappeared to the room she was sleeping in. Some hour later she emerged to the living room and said 'Its true there are no ghosts in the room where I'm sleeping'.

Ah! Another case for the "Ghost Busters"

[colinneil]

Ghosts, you only have to say the word to a Thai and they almost go into hysterics.

When i came home from hospital, my wife was caring for me on our normal bed, she was complaining about it hurt her back.

So i said ok, go to the medical aids shop in Khonkaen, get me an electric hospital bed.

She was at the shop, salesman says to her we have a top of the range bed here, second hand, but nearly new, wife asks why are you selling secondhand?

Man who had this bed died, no no no i will not buy, so she came home with a new 1, lower standard, higher price.

When i said why did you not buy the better grade bed, oh darling man died, if i buy i bring his ghost here.

Well as you can imagine, i laughed and laughed, to hell with getting a better grade of bed, it might have a ghost.

I would say that they have been taking/smoking drugs/weed. No Ghosts No Spirits! The only Spirit What one can see and drink comes in a Bottle.    ????

Nowhere near "'nuf sed" [sic]. 

 

Ghosts have not been credibly documented anywhere because they do not exist and you're really killing your argument by suggesting that if it is in a bible it must be true!

[PETERTHEEATER]

Claiming it is an 'Ambulance' is far fetched. On the TV news the owner was shown opening the rear door and inside are rows of seats 'minibus' style!

 

Can anyone start a private ambulance service? No licence or training required....

Many, many credulous people in the world is why. 99.9% of those "documented" cases have the same problems with the "documentation" process.
And which "Holy Bible" are you referring to?
You are entitled to your beliefs, the same as the Flat Earth Society folks. ????

Situational haunting. ????

[oldrunner]

My wife and many members of her family are great ghost believers, usually or mostly deceased family members, the older the better. She chides me for being a non-believer in anything except a nice mattress and a good blanket. When I become aware of being in another state (spiritual) I will adjust my attitude. I do require that 191 be notified before they start throwing dirt on top  of me.

[mercman24]

i like the one where there is a reason for them not showing rear lights on their scooters, is so a ghost cannot follow them home, to create mischief, these are young people,  this is the 21st century. is it not? (but its ok for a 12 wheeler to mow them down)
