Excel Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Well my answer to all that superstitious bunkum is for all those dreamers to wear their magic amulets and go and stand in the middle of the train tracks and wait there until the next train comes.???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grain Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I remember reading some years ago how Thai soldiers believed their amulets made them bullet proof. I thought, well if that is true you could take over the world, a couple of divisions of indestructible Thai troops wearing their magic amulets could invade and conquer the entire planet. The ultimate master race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Oh look! It's one of them agricultural utility vehicles being driven like a sports car again. The driver is 43 too, I would have thought a younger Somchaius Idiotus would have been the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm 'sorry but all the time that people in this part of the world have this mentality of believing nonsense (including what many parents, teachers and the junta spout) they will never ever emerge from the dark ages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 An interrogation (with Kamphon) will be carried out soon to find out the cause of this accident once he recovers from his wounds. Sorry, but isn't it obvious..............he had the wrong amulet................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Amulet? I like Omelets better. Thais will always say good things about their amulets, when they do survive their accidents. The dead get buried with them, enough said. I am just glad that the food vendors were not injured by this driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
