Thaivisa News Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Kamphaeg Phet:- Local villagers who believe in superstition have been flocking to a house in Kampphaeng Phet’s Klongsarn district, hoping a stillborn piglet there could give them luck in lottery betting. They have been visiting the house of Amporn Chansri, 49, in Bueng Lom village of Tambon Klong Nam Lai since Saturday when the piglet was born in clear mutation. But the believing villagers see that the piglet resembled to the Hindu God Ganesh who has an elephant head. The piglet was about 32 centimeters long and its body was measured at 24-cm while its weight was about 1,500 grams. The local vllagers and people in neighboring villages who heard words of the piglet with one big eye and a trunk-like nose came to Amporn’s house with joss sticks to pray on it. They hoped to see certain visions that they could interpret into numbers for betting on the lottery for the end of this month draw. During the past four days, Amporn placed the piglet on a worshipping tray and covered part of its skin with gold leaves. She said the piglet was still not rotten on the fourth day when she decided to put it in a jar of liquid preservatives after she led villagers worshipped it for many hours during the day. Amporn said she did not mind the villagers coming to pray but she doesn’t want them to have high hope that they would win lotteries. She said the issue depends on one’s own belief. Thais are known for their belief in things that are extraordinary and they often interpret them as being sacred and could help them win lotteries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooHaa Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) nothing like a dead pig to instill optimism.

casualbiker Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The worst thing is they don't wonder WHY the piglet was mutated in the first place ! Generally it's to much steroids etc fed to the mothers to bulk up before slaughter or other things like that ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Manbing Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I've got a dead dog I can let them have for a couple of Thousand Baht. Its very very very lucky indeed. Not lucky enough to still be living however. I also have a bone and a perfectly preserved fingernail from the Buddha himself. They go for a bit more though, what with them being priceless religious relics an' all. Say 100,000bht the lot. I'll even chuck in a packet of mama noodles left over from when he transcended.

Thaddeus Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It is so difficult to avoid pointing out the backwardness of some parts of Thailand, when the ammunition is not just there, they load the gun themselves and hand it to you on a plate.

Popular Post tonypace02 Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why can't these people find a more credible superstition to practise, like the one about the Jewish girl that got knocked up by some powerful invisible creature. I understand a lot of people pray to her son for lottery winners and many other things, like scoring a touchdown in American football. Now there's a superstition that makes sense. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlQaholic Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It is exactly these kind of things that are so respectfully representative of the Ancient and Holy Thai culture that goes back many many hundreds of years. Should be more news like this that can promote the admirable Thai culture and get more tourists to visit Thailand for it's revered and ancient Culture.

I couldn't agree more. The worship of the virgin born zombie and his canabalistic vampire death cult is far more sensible. What hope has our species got? Without enlightenment not much I suspect.

Stupidity/superstition is not restricted to one nation. There are the slices of toast that bear some resemblance to the son of god, sometimes shadows on a garage wall and the like. It's all over.

Without enlightenment not much I suspect. Excellent post- billions believe in the whole sky fairy conspiracy - wars have been waged, crusades, Islam seeks to wipe out civilisation ( mind you if they succeeded in banning rap would be a good thing) All because of a unswerving belief in non existent gods . I find the superstitions held by many Thais quite harmless- they don't go about beheading people because of an image of Ganesh- this would happen in parts of Syria and Irag. Don't forget there is no God in Buddhism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
