macb Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Did you have any experiences with this last night or in the early hours about 0151 hrs. Due to local superstitions in the Thai/ Khmer. At the above time this morning I was awakened by the dog barking and a friend was shouting the wife, basically we had to get up and start the truck and motor bike and sound the horns then wake the house up and the wife went around the garden banging the trees to wake them up.Everyone in our village did the same. did you have an experience of this macb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 ... and the wife went around the garden banging the trees to wake them up. I can just picture that!!! Unfortunately it was too overcast in Najomtien last night at 2 am to see the moon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnxpat Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yes, my wife also told me to sound the horns of the motorbike, there's even some special ritual for pregnant women so to make sure the baby will be healthy. It's "old style" beliefs, I am not sure if it is Isaan/Khmer related. Fortunately, she was too busy sleeping (as was the whole village). There's a lot of "Khmer voodoo" (as I call it) kind of rituals in the smaller villages in the region Buriram-Surin-Sisaket, I don't think this one belongs in that category though.

bergen Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Woke up last night about 2 o'clock. First I heard our dogs outside, then the dogs inside, then a lot of shooting and yelling , so I went outside with my wife, who suddenly remembered what was going on, and explained to me. I don't remember hearing any horns though. Interesting experince, clear sky around the moon, and nice weather, so we spent 15 min outside before going back to sleep.

Speaking of ....... believe it or not, after my previous post I had to go out, I just came back from a trip to town, to find the local voodoo-doctor preparing all sorts of things, my wife's mother is now sitting upstairs with a piece of string in her mouth that is also wrapped around her feet, incense burning, chanting and some real weird stuff happening! My daughter is asleep, I hope she will stay asleep, it could be a pretty traumatic sight for a 3 yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBWG Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 how about this one I always thought an eclipse occurred when the planet was obscured from Earths vision. Pictures look like a full moon to me, whats so special about this one? TBWG Just to on the safe side I have lit the incense, put my feet in a bucket of water stuffed a pencil up each nostril (painful) and started chanting! better safe than sorry.

No an eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the Sun (a star) and obscures the sun from the earth (a planet) And I liked the photo of the moon are you allowed sharp pencils wher you are?

Mr Jones Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I dont care Because I pictured a rainbow You held in your hands I had flashes But you saw then plan I wondered out in the world for years While you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon! The whole of the moon! You were there at the turnstiles With the wind at your heels You stretched for the stars And you know how it feels To reach too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon! I was grounded While you filled the skies I was dumbfounded by truths You cut through lies I saw the rain-dirty valley You saw brigadoon I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon! I spoke about wings You just flew I wondered, I guessed, and I tried You just knew I sighed But you swooned I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon! The whole of the moon! With a torch in your pocket And the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder And you know how it feels To reach too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon! The whole of the moon! Unicorns and cannonballs, Palaces and piers, Trumpets, towers, and tenemets, Wide oceans full of tears, Flag, rags, ferry boats, Scimitars and scarves, Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars You climbed on the ladder With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail Too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon!
