77kaoded Thai Caption: Hairs on the neck stand up - thought it was a corpse

 

77kaoded reported that people in a soi in Nikhom Pattana, Rayong, east/central Thailand were scared to go about their business. 

 

Someone had seen what they thought was a dead body dressed in white by a roadside spirit house.

Undaunted by what the media called "hairs on the back of the neck going up time" senior police sergeant Natthachai Wanna responded to the drama in Soi 8 in Makham Khu sub-district.

 

There near a rise in the road in an area devoid of properties he had a jolly good belly laugh.

 

It was just a ceramic mannikin with it's wig off and arms detached. 

 

Someone had clearly just dumped it at the shrine.

Now if it had been another spurned  sex doll, the "netizens" what a cringe word! would have gone into meltdown demanding a dirty farang be found and punished for disrespecting the spirits.

I bet that doll was a lot cheaper than the one found on the beach.

No. Dressed in white indicates a virginal condition so expect to pay more. Me, I'm having nun of it.
