crazygreg44 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 raising the hair of my neck. 6 weeks ago a couple was killed on a campsite when a tree fell onto their tent. 4 weeks ago a tree fell onto our car, missing my wife by 1 meter, smashing through the windshield. . 2 weeks later, a big tree outside a village nearby fell onto a pickup with passengers, killing two (!!) and injuring 5. and now this ! What's the matter with Thailand's trees ?? Is there a conspiracy in the making ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaidam Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Logically, a whirlwind tour of 50 temples should remedy Prayuth's poor karma, and get him back on track. Sacrificing a couple of goats may also be of some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cooked Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 How can a fallen tree miss anything? Its mission in life is to be a fallen tree. I suppose it might miss parties and birthdays, even cavalcades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltsc Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 "Fallen Tree Narrowly Misses Prayuth's Car..." I believe Karma needs to get an eye exam and some new eye glasses. Its aim ain't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnehaha Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Isn't the (boldly named) Planetarium on Sukumvit road near Ekamai, not Petchaburi? Easy mistake to make. No reason to go. It is a useless space with insipid video. You can go and learn absolutely nothing about planets, the solar system, or astronomy, but see a lot of cartoons.

wirat69 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) A counter coup tree? Coup dead ants? Ummm.... coo! "Dead Ants" is the spoof words for Pink Panther theme song. Just possible that the tree was branching out? Maybe the tree had learned about sharing Thainess with other people? Perhaps, even, the tree was endeavouring to bring Happiness to the People? Did it leave its mark? Was the tree into Retro 70's Flower Power? Heard it said that its bark was worse than its bite! "Oh, the mighty oak has fallen!" Did the PM order an investigation into the root cause? Were they filming an advert for "There all nuts in there, anyway"? Just thought I should share my acorns with you all :-) Edited December 17, 2014 by wirat69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In southern Isaan we have very strong vind´s today, so could Bangkok. Yup, strong winds on the Bkk - Chonburi motorway this morning so not much of stretch to consider that parts of Bangkok were affected as well. I was driving back to Pattaya from the airport and a few times the vehicles, big and small, were being buffeted about. That doesn't fit the agenda of some posters though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
