Makes you wonder if we are living in the 1500's

Thailand is in 2559. But I think it's BC.

Yes,

In the UK among "adults:"

The survey by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! found 55 percent of adults think ghosts are real ...

Coming in at a close second, 51 percent of participants believe aliens exist ...

In the US:

A HuffPost/YouGov poll shows that 45 percent of Americans believe in ghosts, or that the spirits of dead people can come back in certain places and situations.

A few weeks from now we will find out that the Spirit Lady was hired by a competitor in the apartment business to move some renters his way...

This spirit lady is very popular with the rich and famous.

Another comment about the age of enlightenment in which we live:

Of course, in western societies we don't have such silly superstitions as these backward Thais.

We have priests listening to confessions in a small box and implying to people that after three male hairys and cash donation they can go right back out and do it all over again until next week when they must eat fish on a Friday..

How many people believe they've seen The Father or The Son or better still The Holy Ghost.

Do they know about the Euro millions jackpot

they can see ghosts blah blah bullshit but

can't guess the lucky numbers, the jackpot

is now €30,000,000 or Thai Baht (wait for it)

1,190,327,257.98 THB,, remember folks you

are living in the land of fairy dust,,,

Unfortunately the Europeans are at a loss now that Paul has passed away.

Paul the Octopus (26 January 2008 – 26 October 2010) was a common octopus who supposedly predicted the results of association football matches. He made many accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup which brought him worldwide attention as an animal oracle.

During divinations, Paul's keepers would present him with two boxes containing food. Each box was identical except for the fact that they were decorated with the different team flags of the competitors of an upcomingfootball match. Whichever box Paul ate from first would be considered his prediction for which team would win the match.

His keepers at the Sea Life Centre inOberhausen, Germany, mainly tasked him with predicting the outcomes of international matches in which the German national football team was playing.

Not forgetting Germany, or more particularly Swartzwold The Black Forest where at everyturn in the paths that run through this magnificent area havestatues of the virgin mary - in reality transformed animist wood spirits.

Man... this the kind of staff the locals loves and thrives on, ghosts stories, nothing gets them going more than

a good yarn of a ghost ' Phee ' story...... and the gorier the better.... and now wait for the lucky lottery

numbers to come out of this story...

You'd think the Thais were the only superstitious folks on the planet after reading that. Spend an hour or two in a rural Irish pub for a few spirits and spirit tales..

Try this for a wake up call: Ladders, open umbrellas, black cats, Friday 13th, etc etc and that doesn't count all the mumbo jumbo from the Catholics and other religions.

It was interesting they didn't mention the word, "black magic."

Nothing surprises me anymore.

This is year 2016,the 21st century and the Thais are even more in front us.

Its a load of old Bow locks.

Get real! Superstition is what keeps this country controlled.

And next week relatives of the psychic will inhabit the vacant space at a reduced cost following assurances that no more announcments of residing lingering spirits of previous occupants are offered to the media ..But not before yellow robed mafiaso descend in very public display to perpetuate the primitive fears of witnesses !

My wife is a college educated Thai. On a trip back to Bangkok prior to our marriage, I booked a room at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel on a floor above the 60's. My wife said she could not visit me there, as the hotel had too many ghosts. It wasn't till later that I found out she was terrified of heights. It wasn't the ghosts, but the fear of heights.

Tomorrow's news... Miss Khemjira Dechwong, 30, has been arrested on suspicion of double homicide.......

I am sure nobody is surprised. Certainly not Thai Visa readers.

Does anybody know the statistics of probability? Given a binary choice (boxes of food with the logo of two different teams,) the probability is that the octopus will be right (or wrong) 50% of the time. Magic!

Just everyday Thai superstition. Just let them get on with it.

"Who ya gonna call?"

Anybody want a room for rent, cheap? Just have your Thai friend go there complaining about ghosts and all the tenants residing there will leave. Vacancies will open and rent will be lowered. Hehehe! Superstitious fools with others praying on them. Next they will have the monks in to pray for their souls to stop bothering people along with a hefty donation by the owners

You apparently do not know Thai logic in calculus based on "rent will be lowered" - whenever you receive less, you charge more

looking at the article . they dies at about the same time

Warning not for the faint hearted

VERY SCARY & TRUE - THAILAND'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE OF HORROR

The suicide left the radio on. Someone should turn it off. No wonder people are scared. By the way where was the spirit? In a bottle?

Just think, the country is being run by and laws enacted and enforced by people who believe this stuff.

2 deaths in 3 days. Black magic fer sure.

THAKSIN!!!!!

I KNEW IT!

You mean like the masons with their silly rituals, or the Roman Catholic Church with baptisms, and extreme unction. Anyone for a good exorcism that always gets rid of a few spirits.

Just because other people believe in all sorts of nonsense, it doesn't make belief in ghosts any less stupid.

Makes you wonder if we are living in the 1500's

that would be the Islamic calendar

The usual bunkum

I think he was in touch with the Spirits, thats what killed him, Thai whisky.
