"Shameful" couple having sex against sacred rubber tree caused storm devastation, say Chiang Mai locals

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Locals in Chiang Mai claim convinced that the gods wrought havoc on Chiang Mai after two people recorded themselves having sex up against a sacred rubber tree.

 

The clip was on OnlyFans and was recorded on the old Chiang Mai to Lamphun Road.

 

Within three days a huge storm knocked down 10 sacred trees nearby, damaged 100 houses and brought down dozens of power poles and lampposts.

 

This, claimed the locals, was a direct result of the outrageous behaviour.

 

Daily News went to the area and pictured a man pointing to a tree where the deed apparently occurred.

 

Chiang Mai cultural affairs chief Wallop Namuangphrom called it shameful and highly inauspicious.

 

He said a "big bun" (large merit making ceremony) would be held to assuage the damage caused by the inappropriate act.

 

The provincial police chief Pol Maj-Gen Thawatchai Pongwiwattanachai also took a dim view and said police were hunting those responsible.

Seems they ’rubbed up’ in the wrong way LOL

[Boarn]

These peoples opinions are medieval at best, while you can't condone the act, saying such lunacy is an offense to all reasonable people.

If the couple get caught will they be brought to court and have to compensate for the financial damage ?

[BobinBKK]

WOW!!! I'm sure this will been spun sooner or later onto foreigners and our lust for porn by the guilty couple. After all, if it wasn't for foreigners, none of this would EVER have happened ????

Perhaps thought the tree supplied Rubbers for their dastardly act 5555

They will certainly be fined. Blamed for a storm and all it's damage?

I think even in Thailand the courts would find that a hard one to make stick...

Although that was just the opinion of one or  few people 

[ezzra]

Could it be that they have a fetish for sacred things to do in/on? make it like extra hot maybe?...

Those trees along the Lamphun-CM highway can't be too sacred.
The locals have poured cement and asphalt around the bases of the trees choking the life out of them.  So now most all of those old, magnificent trees are sick with weak root structures and they will continue to fall in the future. 

Sorry.  Is animism a revered religion? 
When the trees fall they locals will blame everyone but themselves.  They are themselves to blame.
Bad people go 'boom boom' on rubber tree.

Please!  Wake up!

No , but there is sure to be a big turnout when they reenact the crime.

[bendejo]

What a load of superstitious hogwash.

The real reason the gods wrought havoc is they were disappointed in the latest James Bond movie.

For those who wish to believe in Tree Fairies?  The more likely reason the trees are coming down is because the tree gods are mad as hell at the way man has treated their creations.

And they are mad as hell at all the men who cut the rest of the sacred rubber trees in Thailand and bleed the life out of them.

And I bet he has got a budget and a cousin who is a big bun specialist

At least he can say he made the earth move.

[Sydebolle]

Well, it seems that the amulets were on holidays or on annual leave; possibly enjoying themselves in Phuket or on Samui island enjoying some sandboxing?

Thailand is an Animist country, truth be told.
