webfact Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: The more you drink the richer you get Daily News went to investigate in Mahasarakham in the north east of Thailand after plenty of people attended ceremonies posted online. These featured people getting drunk in order to get rich. Mystic Khamthee said it was a Pert Duang Sethee ceremony and had nothing to do with Buddhism. Picture: Daily News He explained the origins of the word "suraa" that is Thai for spirits as in spirits of the booze kind. This was all wound up in showing appreciation for teachers and luck. Drinking beer and spirits would help people commune with souls. People would drink anyway so why not at such a ceremony, said the mystic. But he laughs have been met with shock by some teetotaler's online who think that encouraging drinking in this manner is not good even though this is an animist ritual. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-07-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
