Media Enables Sorcerers, Seers to Capitalize on Stricken Star

BANGKOK — Yannitat Aeumtrabuth, a renowned astrologer known as Ajarn Bank, said he’s learned that a comatose television star is under spiritual assault from a man he killed hundreds of years ago in a previous life.

Thailand’s most famous fortuneteller, Luck Rekhanitade, jumped into the media circus Monday night to say he knows what will happen to Thrisadee "Por" Sahawong – but can not tell the public, yet.

As the national obsession over the 37-year-old actor enters its ninth day of media infatuation, the door has opened wide to opportunism from Superstition Incorporated, with astrologers and shamans screaming for attention with their self-proclaimed – yet widely embraced – powers.

“Hoping I can become a monk in time,” Yannitat wrote on Facebook last night of his power to help the actor recover. “I’m afraid it will be too late.”

HAHA!

I was working in Abu Dhabi with Abdullah, the mechanic from Egypt once. They believe in "The Evil Eye" & such.

I was showing him some stuff on a truck (training him) & I had a fuel/water separator filter in my hand & told him to be careful around me, or I'd put the Evil Eye on him. He scoffed at me.

I poured some diesel thru the filter and it went right through. I poured some water in it, and not a drop came out.

He said, "Truly! You ARE a wizard!".

Poor guy was scared to death of me after that.

He's a "teacher" planning to make bank, so the name is quite appropriate.

I wonder if i can go visit the actor in hospital and throw talcum powder at him.

There's not much chance of these disappearing in Thailand until the rest of the world gets rid of fortune tellers also.

Bearing in mind that your own country (and mine) has fortune tellers that some people consult then presumably the UK gets dafter everyday also?

Ah yes of course. The old "fuel/water separator filter" trick.

Works on the 'bumpkins" every time. Nice one jw

"I know but I'm not going to tell you right now"

How many time have I heard that in Thailand ? - mainly from politicians. How many 'revelations' are promised in a few days which never happen ?. Chalerm was a master.

Only works on a gullible audience. Same type who would cheer a man like that. I thought they were supposed to have chopped his head off by now ?.

Where can you buy Amulets that protect you from Dengue??
