Yes, a short rundown on some of the ghosts in Thailand.  Thai ghosts are much more likely to have a conversation with you.  After 16 years and nary a ghost experience here I'd say my foreign mindset and culture is the cause.  I've seen so many in soap operas.

Thanks @CharlieH we need to remember the spirits are around us all the time.  Some of you don't believe in them, not everything is imaginary. (And soon we can celebrate Halloween). 👍 Then Happy All Saints day to all.

A great post.  Some interesting learning, compared the the idiotic topics a few post about.  Thank You.

I remember watching #1 Mae Nak before.

Actually a good movie.

Many years ago there was a thai tv show about an alcoholic ghost, it was a comical show with a chorus of 'Matulat ting tong ting tong'

there is Mae Nak shrine in Phrakanong. 

That's the one in Wat Mahabut, mentioned in the OP.

It is on Khlong  Phrakhanong, most recent arrivals (Thais or foreigners) nowadays call the area Onnut (it's not near BTS Phrakhanong).

The shrine of "Mae Nak Phrakhanong" is even on Google maps.

Krahang (กระหัง)

Krahang is a male ghost that flies at night using rice baskets

I had to watch a tiktok today, a cat dressed up as Krahang, with rice-basket wings.

Suea Saming is represented obliquely in the 2004 film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Sud Pralud/ Tropical Malady.  It's a good film and worth checking out. 

 

where can you watch that film, never seen it on sale anywhere, even bootleg ones,

Agreed.

Slightly OT but definitely linked - We westerners are the only group to DISbelieve in spirits.

 

The story that there was a 'Big Bang' and space dust & debris somehow come alive as 'space jizz' and evolved into humans is even more far fetched than spirits, ghosts etc imho.

 

Anyway, this guy has some interesting theories on Spirit Channelling and the fact that demonic clowns exist in almost if not ALL cultures - also some bits on Garden of Eden serpent Naga worship.
