webfact Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 End of Look Thep mania: 'Child Angels' dumped as orphans at templeBy Coconuts BangkokFile photo of Look Thep dolls owned by the famous creator "Mama Ning." Photo: Prae Sakaowan/ Coconuts MediaBANGKOK: -- 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.Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2016/02/02/end-look-thep-mania-child-angels-dumped-orphans-temple-- Coconuts Bangkok 2016-02-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 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.
