A peculiar sign offering to purchase haunted houses has caused quite a stir in Rayong, Thailand. The sign, featuring the names and contact numbers of two individuals interested in such spooky properties, was discovered by a local man known as Uncle Kai.

 

While driving past a road behind the Wat Krok Yai Cha temple, Uncle Kai captured an image of the unusual sign and shared it widely on social media, intrigued by its odd proposition.

 

Located in front of a motorcycle wash shop near a temple crematorium, the sign drew the attention of a local reporter who decided to investigate further. In attempting to contact the numbers listed, the reporter managed to speak with 33-year-old Ms. Suthima Rungsrirat, who agreed to an interview.

Suthima, who also goes by Khun Ploy, explained her motivations behind the intriguing offer. As someone already involved in purchasing, renovating, and reselling old houses, she wanted to capture attention with an eye-catching sign.

 

She cleverly equated old houses with haunted ones, despite her mother's concerns about the lack of auspiciousness in the idea.

The striking nature of the sign has indeed generated interest, with several potential sellers reaching out to Suthima. Among these inquiries was an offer to purchase a house reportedly haunted by a ghost that lingers outside.

 

Suthima's company buys and revamps all types of old houses, often for resale. For customers concerned about a property's spooky reputation, the company offers a ritual to dispel spirits, ensuring that any buyer can dwell in peace - both literally and metaphorically.

Smart move by this buyer:)) Superstition is rife here and Thais/Chinese would never go near them...these unwanted houses are likely very cheap!
