outsider Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Rolled 10 times? The world record for most cannon rolls in a car is seven. https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=4349 Seems like these lucky charms aren't just good for saving lives, they're also good for breaking world records.

joebrown Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 There's no mention of whether he was breathalysed nor what the likely cause of the accident might have been. Oh!, I just noticed the nice alloys and the chequered flag transfer(s). The story is already becoming clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) "Without a doubt I was saved by my charms and lockets," he said," Without a doubt you are talking unadulterated crud. How dare you make a fool of the guy for having a strong faith. Just because you don't have faith, most of the world do and it is the honourable thing to respect that. Isn't there a forum for bible belters and holy rollers somewhere? “Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you.

sanukjim Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Ah Yes,"With these amulets I can speed uselessly onward with no thought of dying.Let the other people that I might run over get their own amulets if they want to live.Now where do I get the ones for the lottery" ?

NCC1701A Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 "Passersby and other drivers who saw the accident feared the worst as the car rolled ten times on the Chainat-Asia highway." once or twice, maybe three times, that is it. "...was on his way to Nakorn Sawan when he span, lost control..." i hate it when I span. "No mention was made as to whether Kraisorn, the chief engineer of a factory in an industrial estate in Ayutthaya, was breathalysed." Never step foot in that factory.

soalbundy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If the amulets were so good why did he have an accident in the first place, bunch of nimbies, even my mother-in-law who is real farmers stock in Isaan thinks this is a load of crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The sad thing is that they, Thais, actually believe it. Rolled ten times, don't think so maybe once. Indeed, the really sad thing is that Thais will believe in this rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinL Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 He should have been given a slap in the face and told not to utter such nonsense, the A, B and C posts on the body shell of the car saved his life - the drivers side barely took a hit! ... and the fool's a Chief Engineer who, in the real world outside his amulet paradise, should probably have some appreciation of the way the car's been engineered to protect him. No doubt the airbag deployed and maybe, just maybe, he was wearing his seatbelt but no, his survival is entirely due to a magic necklace. As has already been said, others of a similar mentality will see this as an excuse to continue their reckless, "<deleted> you, mate" driving style.

tukkytuktuk Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's a social media hot issue in Thailand when someone claims an amulet saved their life. In less than a day this poorly filmed YouTube video has had over 600,000 plays. The subject is the driver in hospital getting a few cuts and grazes checked out with him showing off his magic amulet. Amulets are for sale everywhere in Thailand, from your local market and even at your local 7/11. Here's the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamwhiteelephant Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I believe his amulets did in fact save him. I also believe a rain dance could end this drought, rain making actually works, father Christmas is always watching, its bad luck to walk under ladders, the Essan deformed buffalo has magic lottery number giving power, the general will in fact hold elections and that penguins walked two by two from Antarctica to get on a boat in the middle East to escape a flood. Hey but that's just me. Agreed, the attributes to the amulets and superstitions is ridiculous, but it’s not a good idea dredging everything through the muck. It’s worth researching or at least considering the historical account of the Great Flood again. It’s so ‘enlightened’ in our Western world and all the rage to trash it, much like the fashionable appropriation of eastern religion-based ‘karma’ rather ever a sincere mention of ‘blessing’ and ‘curse’. It’s very significant that nearly every culture has a tradition of a global flood having occurred in prehistoric times. Also, climates were very different back then, but sea animals can be guided by instinct and they would’ve had ample time to swim across a sea. And if the Antarctic did exist back, then why wouldn’t the penguins have simply set up base on a huge iceberg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawan Chan 7 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Most posters totally ignorant on the power of Buddhist amulets. Probably most of them think Thai Fetishism is something practiced in Pattaya. I wonder how many have a spirit house and had monks round to bless their house or had a traditional Thai wedding? Bloody hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerojero Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Really no different from the Midwestern tornado survivors who emerge from their basement proclaiming that Jesus saved them.[ /quote.... Indeed. And never ask why God sent the tornado in the first place to cause grief and death to others. Oh yes, sorry forgot He works in mysterious ways. Just like mystery of Amulets.

LawrenceN Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 No mention of the fact that his life was endangered in the first place by his own stupidity and incompetence.

Jack Garbo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yep, without a doubt! So now feeling thoroughly invincible I'm sure he will drive more recklessly than ever. And many of those reading about this Proof about magical amulets will also increase their driving risk.Damn! All that money I wasted on seat belts & airbags, when an amulet does the trick.

Jing Joe Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 If the price of the trinkets, tokens and armbands really have gone up as suggested, then i wont be needing to send so much ThaiBaht to my brother-in-law because his business is selling them.

tomyummer Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Consumer warning: Wearing of the Singh Sit Phra Khru around your neck may cause side effects such as drowsiness, irritability, feelings of invincibility and driving like an idiot. Wal-Mart does not take responsibility for consumers with poor judgement who wear the amulet in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
