In a surprising turn of events, two Thai lawyers have filed a legal complaint against a well-known fortune teller, accusing her of inciting public panic with her predictions of impending clashes at the Thailand-Cambodia border.

 

The fortune teller, Worracha “Plai” Pinitrokakorn, widely recognised as Plai Prai Krasip, made headlines following an interview on 2nd August. During her discourse on Thai politics, Plai claimed that a new Prime Minister would be in place by November or December, identifying him as a young man whose name starts with the letter “P”. She painted a grim picture of this new leader, describing him as self-centred and reckless in decision-making.

 

However, it was her comments on potential border unrest that truly stirred controversy. Plai predicted an imminent attack within days, urging the public to stay away from their properties and prioritise safety. Her ominous forecast warned of severe bloodshed and hinted at diplomatic strains, sparking fears among believers of her psychic powers.

 

Her assertions did not sit well with everyone. Former Narcotics Suppression Bureau officer Rewat Klinkaysorn publicly criticised Plai on social media, questioning the baseless fear she instigated. "You said it would happen in one or two days. Nothing has happened. How will you take responsibility?" he wrote, highlighting the undue distress caused to those who trust such predictions.

 

Amidst the mounting alarm, prominent lawyers Kirdpon Kaewkird and Ronnarong Kaewphet took action. On 5th August, they lodged a complaint at Pak Kret Police Station, Nonthaburi, accusing Plai of violating Section 384 of the Thai Criminal Law. This law prohibits the deliberate spread of false information leading to public unrest. The offence is punishable by up to one month in prison, a fine up to 10,000 baht, or both.

 

The lawyers were clear in their intentions, stating they were not pursuing harsh punishment but aiming to dissuade Plai from making such inflammatory statements in the future. They left the door open for additional charges, should further legal infractions be uncovered through the interview evidence submitted.

 

In response, authorities plan to question Plai. However, their efforts are currently stalled as she has been hospitalised, reportedly due to stress from the unfolding situation.

 

The unfolding drama highlights the intersection of traditional beliefs and modern media, raising questions about freedom of speech versus public responsibility. Plai's predictions, while widely ridiculed by some, still hold sway for many, illuminating the deep cultural roots of fortune telling in Thailand.

 

While no clashes occurred as she foresaw, the incident has ignited a broader discourse on the influence and accountability of public figures, especially those with significant followings. As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how this will influence the conduct of individuals who wield such influence over the public psyche.

 

For now, the case serves as a reminder of the power of words and the responsibilities accompanying that power, especially in a world where information, accurate or otherwise, spreads rapidly through various media channels.

Only idiots believe fortune-tellers, or astrology, or tarot cards, or anything similar

She is fake apparently, as when is could really see the future she would have known that a file against would be complaint.. And now she is hospitalized as a result of her stress.. but if she really can predict things she sees the outcome...and don't need to be stressed...
