Yes, we need more stories like this....to let the army carry out its 'business' without people worrying about it too much. Tomorrow's headline: "World's Biggest Isaan Sausage Cooked In Ubon".

Whenever you see them rip them down. We need rain, and the more the better !

I did not know that " Monty Phyton" had Thai relatives ....

Perhaps the fumes push the rain clouds away?

And attract cats at an alarming rate.

Luckily they did not use my panties, because if, the whole province would stop breathing

A UDD Redshirt flag?...

Ripping down a widow's knickers could lead to unexpected results, and I don't mean rain.

"The most popular method is simply making a virgin girl pluck some lemongrass from the ground"

How embarrassing for the girl if it ends up raining anyway.

That would at least have to cast serious doubts on her claim of virginity wouldn't it?

Yes, let these people vote, decide the future course of an entire nation. What could go possibly wrong.......

Are we in 2014 ?

Nope, we have progressed to 2557.

"Province suffering from shortage of virgins".....how big is the province anyway?

They did find one virgin.... but he was 38 and didn't know how to pluck lemongrass....

Could they find 3 wise men instead I wonder.

I guess this is useful, and the pants will be clean by rain and wind, and no nifty at all ....

If they used my underwear, there would be a 1000 year drought.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Are we in 2014 ?

Are they?

hub of technology (right ?)

It is innovative and worth a patent.

Love it

What colors panties to make it rain?

I will only believe this if they show a picture of the giant speakers covered with artificial cobwebs that they used at the ordination party. Or is that only at weddings?

This will no doubt be used by the usual suspects as evidence of a red cabal, maybe even a redshirt village

Didn't cross my mind. It must be you who always associates color with different political groups.

Give it a break man. Grow up.

Give fabby a chance,1st joke he's cracked in years,and may be in shock over recent events.When the govt in excile is set up he will be back to his usual self.

Sense of humour failure, nickymaster? Though on reflection perhaps that's wrong judging by your posts.......

Give the man a break he obviously likes you he is giving you good solid advice.

Lighten up use your research powers to find out what color would bring rain.

Also would they have to be a widow or a virgin.

tie a pair of used socks from a farang around your head, find your nearest police officer and circle him three times, clucking and fluttering like a chicken - a sure fire way to win the Thai lottery!

I love hearing about the Thai superstitions...reminds me we are still dealing with a population steeped in mystery...

Do I go round clockwise, or anti-clockwise? can you please elaborate as I want to get it right.

wasn't me. Title could have been more creative. Locals use Thong to Stop Rain...

Interestingly the lady was a singer in her youth

An Thong ends the same,but the malady lingers on

One of my house staff had to quit after she walked inadvertently under the clothes line... (had a seizure, saw apparitions and started tongue talking... the whole box and dice) All very strange, and dare i say, unbelievable. God bless her.

Hear hear! Why can't they be a population focused on fact rather than steeped in mystery...

See post 17

Wordwide the same superstition.

In Germany to make Sauerkraut virgins have to stamp the cabbage.

In South-Africa the grapes are stamped by elephants to make a high class wine.

Farang with paranoid balls buy AdIDaS slips to protect them.

Crocodile eaters have a T-Shirt made by Lacoste.

and so on....

How crazy. We all know it is a ladder and not a clothes line that brings bad luck when walking under and speaking in tongues is reserved for church.

Well I read all the posts and it still

smells fishy to me
