This, said Phra Bida, would promote good health. He is facing many charges for running a cult on encroached land.

 

Yesterday Royal Thai Police deputy spokesman Pol Col Siriwat Deephor said that the police respect religion and those with superstitious beliefs.

RTP: We'll respect superstitious beliefs - but we draw a line when it comes to protecting public health

Had to come and read the article to see if they were saying that they respect religious beliefs, but won't respect public health.  Not a great title.

"Yesterday Royal Thai Police deputy spokesman Pol Col Siriwat Deephor said that the police respect religion and those with superstitious beliefs."

 

Which category is Theravada Buddhism? Protective Amulets, Lottery numbers, shaking sticks, smearing gold leaf, buying the same gift hamper 5 times..........

Very happy to see the words superstition and religion in the same article. Synonyms.
