Pattaya prepares for Ramadan !

[Social Media]

 

[asf6]

Fasting in two of the hottest months in Thailand must be tough, especially for those who will have to work. Relax and keep your air-conditioning on all day if you can.   

[KannikaP]

What a confusing video. They can clean the streets for one month a year, but the rest of time let the 5hit build up.

asf6 suggested keeping the air con on all day....those people do not look as if they can afford a/c, in fact not visible in the house.

Do they, Muslims, not pray 5 tomes a day, so how can they find time to do a bit more of it?

The same as Easter, the time of Ramadan was, and still is, determined by the Lunar month. This is 2023 not the era when Christianity or Islam was 'invented'. Silly people in my opinion.

You know very little about Islam and its people.

Correct, and I don't want or need to.

Why take the time to post about people and a subject about which you profess to not care?

Do you know the origin of the hijab? originally it meant cloak covering the whole body. Why did it come about, because followers of the prophet complained to him they could see his wife's defecating in the fields, so he ordered them to cover themselves. Lack of toilets 1400 years ago means little girls today have to cover themselves up!

Was that his 11 year old wife, or all of them?

She was 6 and he was 50, I think this was before he married Aisha though, of course his followers did not have to look!

I've been here about 10 zillion years and it still feels like being in an oven in the middle of the Sun while wearing Scottish wool (the greatest thing from the UK!!!!!, no not whisky you drunks)

 

Aircon is fine at times, of course, but I'm not a big fan of aircon all day.....chemicals!!!!  3 or 4 hours at a time is fine.

It's 24/7 oppression, from the moment you are rudely awakened at zero dark thirty until you go to bed at night. Conform or suffer the consequences.

 

Anyone who thinks that Islam is benign has rocks in their head.

What is the source of that assertion?

Chemicals in an aircon, which draws air in from the room, cools it over a radiator and sends it out again?

Do you really need the scripture? I can dig it up if you insist. It's Hadiith of Bukhari Vol 1,6,4, no 148. Can't find it on the web and can't be bothered to scan it in. This covers it well

Hoping to attract more Muslim tourists particularly from Saudi Arabia?

Can't wait for more.

Even forbidding to drink water. Simply sick.

I did not know that, so that is why they wear rags on their heads.

I doubt my Mrs could fast for 2 minuets and that's whilst sleeping ????

Well Ramadan moves between the seasons due to the lunar year being about 9 day shorter.... and 'fasting' occurs in Saudi Arabia too where the hot season is hotter. They only had to work 1/2 day in Ramadan when I worked there, (and hardly at all in reality) and actually slept most of the day and spent most of the nights awake.

Yes, i agree.

 

There are many religions which each have their own special occasions, why is Islam special?

Water is allowed to be consumed.

 

I've worked in the ME ( unfortunately ) where the weather can reach 50C ++ and the muslims have consumed water.

Who needs to live in 2023 to the 'rules' written by guys 2000 odd years ago.

I went thru about 8 Ramadan's in the UAE and Kuwait.

 

It's about as fun as a month-long trip to the dentist every year.

I think it's more to keep the sun off their noggins, and the sand out of their ears.

 

I once played the desert golf course in Abu Dhabi. My ears got PACKED full of sand. It's like talcum powder.

In Saud Arabia, (where I worked for many years), during Ramadan the Saudis actually become more proficient. As it only takes them 4 hours a day to do s*d all instead of the normal eight.
