BANGKOK: -- Look Thep 'Child Angels' Around 20 Look Thep dolls, which were still a popular craze just a week ago, have reportedly been dumped at a temple on the outskirts of Bangkok as their owners presumably started to feel embarrassed about carrying around a doll.

Sarawuth Pailonrin, the temple’s warden, said Look Thep owners have been leaving their spirit dolls at the temple after the once-popular doll fad was heavily criticized by skeptics.

"Some people don't feel comfortable [keeping Look Thep] anymore so they dumped the dolls under our Bodhi tree. Some came at night. Some talked to the abbot, who allowed them to leave the dolls here,” Sarawuth told Thairath TV.

Yeah. This makes sense, totally.

"Some came at night"

This tells of their shame and gullibility.

Silly Thai people... ?

Now back to reality and eating somdtam!

Those dolls being abandoned by their owners...wonder will they bear grudges with their owners and revenge one day?

and ive just poured a fortune into a Luk Thep English school.

i was going to use my spirit degree to get a visa!!!

Christ this whole thing was utterly weird.

I didn't ever witness anyone carrying one of these freakish looking things, I live in the heart of BKK.

So the owners did exactly what they would have done with their own kids

Christ this whole thing was utterly weird.

Saw a young couple carrying one last Saturday night at talard rot fai, behind Seacon Square.

Are the rings on the Thai Chuckie gold?

First saw one a friend had a few months ago- she swears it's grown since we last saw her- the doll that is

the important question is ...WHATS NEXT?

I am still fighting to get my head around this.....

Clearly her I.Q has not though.

I've only seen one, a very young girl at a market sit on a chair with one in her arms...i thought she had her younger brother there but it was a doll....

As well they should feel embarrassed. Grown people taking care of a doll. How ridiculous.

Personally, I prefer my dolls like this one.

the important question is ...WHATS NEXT?

i know what's next but i can't post it due to the rules on tvf as well as rules in thailand.

but trust me it's going to be way more scary

...and so starts the story of Thai Chucky !

I heard there's a few working down Soi 6 right now. Mum and dad didn't get any luck with the lotto on Saturday so next best Jai Dee thing to do, as any responsible parent would, get the kids working.

Was it ever a "mania?" Yeah, I saw it on the news, but never saw one person with one of those crazy ass dolls in Chiang Mai.

Heartless !!!

Did that actually last long enough to qualify it as a fad?

Bit of smart marketing while it lasted.

Isn't "Mah" Thai for fad or fashion?
