The most popular method is simply making a virgin girl pluck some lemongrass from the ground, and one of the the lesser-known superstitions involves using the red panties of a widow like a flag.After all the hard work he had put in to prepare for his nephew's Buddhist ordination, Amnaj Cheipon, 50, would not let the storm clouds that had built up over his party in Angthong province ruin the big day. Nobody wanted the outdoor feast to go to waste.Maybe the province was suffering from a shortage of virgins, so a local came up with an idea for Amnaj to magically stop the rain from ruining the ordination, find a widow who is willing to let him put her red panties on a bamboo stick.Yes, the panties have to be red only.

HeavyDrinker Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Given the heat and that when I went through that area last week, the place was parched dry, I bet this bloke won't be too popular with his neighbours if it don't rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Well if you continue reading the article in the link, it didn't rain. Maybe they are onto something and mock farangs on Thai social media for NOT using this magic. Not so , we always fly a pair of red nickers borrowed from the widow down the street, when we wash the car, it has never rained however the car has been charged by a irritable bull three times and the widow has lodged six complaints to the local Tossers ,that her washing is being pinched of her clothes line , but as I have said, it never rained.
