A Nonthaburi Tale!

Disclaimer: my mother-in-law is the most trusting, gullible and easily manipulated person on the planet. She blindly follows fortune tellers advice, lends money she doesn't have, invests in scams/businesses etc - you name it - she has done it 10 times over. And still she never learns.

 

The mother-in-law (mil) has been holed up in her wealthy best friends house for the past month or two. Both of them not daring to leave due to the arrival of a 'trusted' friend who has a 'special' ability to connect to the spirit world, I guess you could say she was some kind of clairvoyant. This lady (clairvoyant) arrived with her two friends in tow and advised the mil and her friend that they both could die soon and that the only way to avoid their fate was to meditate for hours daily and drink the 'blessed' water that she provided them. One evening they were all sat eating together and the mil felt unwell, it's not clear from the explaination but either she couldn't breathe or was choking on food but she very nearly died (according to the mil). The best friend was constantly feeling drowsy and could never think straight. One day she went out and was convinced that she came close to being hit by two different cars so she immediately went back to the house for more meditation. Convinced that they both had narrowly avoided death they continued to follow their friend's advice. They felt very lucky that their friend was there to help them through this period. Whilst meditating for hours on end and drinking the 'blessed' water they were told not to answer the phone or answer messages as this could have a negative effect on the all the mediation they were doing.

 

Whilst all this was going on the clairvoyant had convinced the mil's best friend (house owner) to move into the small spare room and let the clairvoyant and her two pals stay in the master bedroom. They were now staying rent free, eating food and not spending a penny or lifting a finger to help around the house. They used the maid as if they owned the house. This continued for a month or two.

 

Then the best friend had to attend a family ceremony in the South and whilst there she noticed that rather miraculously she no longer felt the drowsiness and fuzzy thinking. She began to feel like her old self. Hmmnnnn, the penny drops! But not being 100% sure about what was actually going on and being typically Thai and not wanting to speak direct, she politely tried to get them to leave. They weren't budging. Finally the best friends sister went to the house and found the three stooges there living it up and threw them out. There was a lot of cursing and black magic spells being thrown about from the 'clairvoyant' at being so rudely treated. But at least they were out.

 

Now come's the hard bit. My missus must speak to the mil and find out if she loaned the 'clairvoyant' any money!

Good they were removed before being put in the will and house owner poisoned off.

"Now come's the hard bit. My missus must speak to the mil and find out if she loaned the 'claivoyant' any money!"

   Tune in next week and find out.

With a little fine-tuning it would make a good Thai soap opera.

If money has been given I'm guessing it wasn't a loan but a donation.
