Thai at Heart Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I worry about this country sometimes. Loch Ness ??????????????????????? Leprachauns (sp) cant be arsed to check You were saying????? Its one thing to have a fairy tale from a hundred years ago, quite another to find it now.We found a naga today in the local companies pond?????? And we make offerings to it? Strewth.... Not sure when the loch ness thing came along. So Thailand is up with a couple of hundred years ago. Nessie was deliberately faked as an act of retribution. Retribution for?

Fat Haggis Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hahahahhahahah oh the irony of it all.. The Patron Saint of England ... St George the DRAGON slayer!!! hahahahhahaha And it's fine to have a wee pop at Thai cultural mythology? hahahahhahhahaahaha I don't think anyone in England has claimed to have seen a dragon in a pond lately have they? It's not that most cultures don't have beliefs that belong in the dark ages, but a dragon in a construction pond? Come on. As opposed to hearing "the voice of God" or seeing Big Foot, or the Loch Ness Monster ?? I'm being cynical about the whole mythology and peoples beliefs in it. Last time I was at home, also in Korat, there were lots of people who claimed to be able to see a face of a deceased villager in a tree, I laughed it off (silently of course) but as sure as there was shit in a dog, the closer you looked, there was a shape there indeed that was eerily "like" a face. It was real enough for those who believe in superstition. There have been many historical people who have claimed to have had "visions" , what's wrong with some random Thai's seeing a mutl headed creature in a pool ?? Of course it's stupid and far fetched for many people, but for those that believe it, isn't that down to them, and up to them? The rest of us will just "yawn and move along, nothing to see here " sort of thing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziepete Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Mr. Yongyuth said he has halted construction of the water plant. I guess he has worked out he can make more money from this with less work then the water plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Nessie was deliberately faked as an act of retribution. Retribution for? Essentially, the author said, it was a toy submarine bought from F.W. Woolworths with a head and neck made of plastic wood, built by Christian Spurling, the son-in-law of Marmaduke Wetherell, a big game hunter who had been publicly ridiculed in the Daily Mail, the newspaper that employed him. Spurling claimed that to get revenge, Marmaduke Wetherell committed the hoax, with the help of Chris Spurling, his son Ian Marmaduke, who bought the material for the fake, and Maurice Chambers, who asked surgeon Robert Kenneth Wilson to offer the pictures to the Daily Mail.

bigbamboo Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Geez, sometimes the sheer cynicism of TV members horrifies me. Why, only a month or two ago back home in the Scottish Highlands, on my way home from a night out with the lads, I saw Nessie. We sat down together and had a dram or two before she swam off across the Loch.... That could explain why she's been ignoring my emails. She's found another man.

Seastallion Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 maybe they hit oil ! That would account for shimmering colours on the surface....or it may just be diesel pollution. Which do you think is more likely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If I hadn't a believed it, I wouldn't have seen it! If they did see it, then it is no longer a myth. Used to laugh at show "Unsolved Mysteries". Duh. Solved mysteries we call "facts". Maybe it is a hit or myth situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I am sorry Bernard we Irish never claimed Loch Ness I think the Scottish nation would have a problem with that. Especially if we came over and drank all their whisky. But we in Ireland own all the leprechauns who often appear for American tourists who travel to see them. We also had moving statues back in the 80s but that was with the help of Irish whisky. ".......with the help of Irish whisky. Well, would you look at dat. Whisky, the water of life from Scotland. Over there in the Auld Sod, they call it whiskey and so do their American cousins Jack Daniels & James Beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzed Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This pic has done the rounds but to my knowledge has never been satisfactorily explained. This is what the Naga is supposed to look like. It's an oar fish that was hit by a Navy seal Rib and severed most of its head. The seal team brought it back to shore and took the photo. Some time later some clever dick in Thailand saw a Payanaga story in it and it went viral all over Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
