Buriram: Mysterious forces at work as spirit house topples and injures 5 year old in north east Thailand

Thai caption: House owner failed to make offerings (to the spirits)

 
Many villagers in a village in Buriram in north east Thailand are convinced that angry spirits were responsible after a spirit house fell on a little girl. 
 
It is thought that perhaps not enough offerings were made. 
 
Five year old "Nong Tong", a girl in the third year of kindergarten, was enjoying some sweets when the spirit house in front of a property fell on her head. 
 
She is recovering in hospital from an injury to her right eyebrow. 
 
Chom, 65, said that Tong is looked after by her grandmother Praneet, 57, because her parents work in another province. She said it knocked the little girl out and there was a lot of blood. 
 
The house is Chom's daughter's property in the village of Ban Nong Petch in Bua Thong sub-district. 
 
Chom said that most of the houses in the village have "san phraphum" or spirit houses. She and others believe that her daughter did not offer enough to the spirits or there might have been some unknown sleight to the deities that led to the structure falling over. 
 
Others just thought that the spirit house was old and probably fell over of its own accord. 
 
But there was one thing that everyone was agreed on - it was lucky that the little girl was not more seriously injured.

Heaven forbid that anyone take any personal responsibility for neglect here. A bit like they drive, always the fault of the road or the vehicle, never the idiot behind the wheel.

It's evident that you didn't read the story.

 

It clearly states that "lack of offerings" were responsible.

She went on to say "And it had nothing to do with my drinking. I only had a few large beers and I only took my eyes off of little Tong for a second. And besides she has been climbing on that thing since she was born."

Probably more truth in that statement but why let it get in the way of some good superstition !

No doubt the spirits were partying too hard celebrating Englands unexpected win over Australia in the Ashes. Obviously been watching on their little TV.

Looks like a statement on Englands 1st innings or Australia's runout attempt of Leech.
