A 50 year old Thai woman filed a police complaint against her 66 year old neighbour for flashing her bottom while she was doing her morning merit. The accused neighbour defended herself by saying that the complainant was bothering residents in the community by banging a bucket.

 

The 50 year old complainant, Watinee, filed a complaint against her 66 year old neighbour, Muan, at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station on October 3. Watinee explained that she was waiting outside her house to make food offerings to monks.

 

Wearing an all-white dress, she chased away a stray dog and loudly banged a bucket to drive away evil spirits before making merit.

According to Watinee, it was at this point that Muan exited her residence and exposed her bare bottom. Muan should not have done that to her because she was wearing white clothes and monks were coming.

 

In response, Watinee struck the bucket once more, saying Muan’s action was a bad thing that she must drive away before her merit-making.

How childish

Highly egocentric.  "It's all about me!!!  I'm wearing a white dress.  I plan to give food to monks.  All dogs, pesky neighbors, and evil spirits begone!!!"

I agree with the above.  Childish. If she wins in court I'll have my wife start making lists of dogs, neighbors, and evil spirits who dare invade her space when she gives the local monks on bindabat food.

From a Buddhist perspective this is 'wrong-view.'  The concept behind giving monks food is to be generous and compassionate.  It should be given freely without any attachment or wish for remuneration.  It seems this woman sets herself on a moral high-ground and expects the world around her to conform to her wishes and antics.  Unfortunately too many Thai Buddhist laity think that it's about giving something to get something, and in her case, she considers it to be a holy ritual performed on the street, and the mundane world around her must stop and praise her.  And the part about 'banging a pot to chase away evil spirits" is pure Animism.

I'd have a suggestion for her.  Invite the dog, the 'evil spirits', and the neighbor over to give food to the monks and share the merit.  With all of that anger and self-rightousness, she's might as well toss all of her perceived "merit" in the well.

 

Very important news. Can we have a close up of the woman's bottom if she is attractive?

I think that Muan tried to entice Watinee to bang on her bottom instead of the bucket

Attractive or not, handy if you need somewhere to park you bike.

Wouldn't  fancy having a nutter in a white dress banging a bucket next door. 

What this article seems to miss out is that it is very rude in Thai culture to show your behind sticking it out, to someone covered or not.  same as go f my ass.

When I was young it was a fun thing to do to 'moon' people. Eg if you were passing a group of people waiting for a bus, you would drop your kecks and show them your bare ass. Funny as hell.

Those Monks will 'come' at almost anything. 

Pretty sure in my UK there are worse builders cheeks on view on many street corners or roads

How long do we wait to see if the 'merit making' worked or not? I'm thinking one way or another those evil spirits are gonna find their way back; same with the monks.
