I'd bought one of the dried ones in Ta Prachan 20 years ago. Just thought the shape interesting. Passed on the preserved fetus. I thought it might come in handy to scare the neighbours but chum vetoed on the basis of it releasing a malevolent spirit which I might have difficulty in controlling.

Lets get a few dolls, paint them the color of a fruit, tie them to a tree and see just how stupid Thai people are.

60 years ago, the BBC had their viewers believing not only money grew on trees. Some on this forum may be old enough to have seen the original broadcast with a typically plummy voiced narration.

Thats great, I assume it was an April fool BBC prank.

I am too young to remember but I was told that the radio broadcast of War of the Worlds was done in a convincing live news style and had people panicking,,

This is old news. It's already been proven that they are just plastic dolls!

Though it doesn't stop the good old TV brigade using it to bash Thais again

And why should it, as the same stupid people that believe in praying to a mile marker no doubt believed this crock of s**t also.

The poll in the uk paper that printed this story has 12% either believing this story is real or are unsure.

2016, the year of stupid.

Worldwide.

Its from a uk paper.

Stupidity knows no boundaries.

I'm going to pray to the tree for this week's lottery numbers.

No need to pray it's 36-24-36 in mm

2016? What you mean this is a recently fabricated story made to look old? that's brilliant.

Lol - pretty much every country has it's share of people who'll believe just about anything.

In the USA they think Wrestling (WWF/WWE, etc) is real ! And UFO abductions ! And the never-ending Kardashian drama ! And when someone scraps a piece of toast just right and makes it sort of look like a holy image, people flock from all around to see it and call it a miracle !

In England, when a church was hard up for cash the priests rigged a statue so that it appeared to be bleeding from it's eyes. Didn't take long for their money woes to disappear (though their scam was eventually uncovered). Some people actually believe there is a dinosaur still swimming in a loch in Scotland ! Leprechauns !

Crop Circles ! Aliens built the Pyramids ! Tooth fairies ! Over 3,000 different "gods" that man has worshipped since the dawn of time (that we know of) ! Bigfoot ! The list of fantastical ideas the people have believed in (and still do) is nearly endless and isn't limited to any one place or time ! Sheesh, 60(+) years ago a science fiction writer wrote some books and created a religion for the express purpose of making money and now millions of people really believe that aliens inhabit their bodies and that an evil alien brought billions of people to earth 75 million years ago and then murdered them by placing them around volcanoes and dropping hydrogen bombs into the volcanoes !

It's not just the Thai people that will believe almost anything.

...gotta wonder about the recruitment standards since being sold....

..although I could guess.....

The fruits are 100% originally from Thailand... they have small breast!

Lookthep 2.0

Thought this was the news section, not the retard section.

Definitely retard section.

Please let us not insult retarded people. I used to work with some as teacher. None were this stupid or gullible

This is old news. It's already been proven that they are just plastic dolls!

Though it doesn't stop the good old TV brigade using it to bash Thais again

...and absolutely 100% rightfully so!

The ignorance and stupidity in this country is sometimes very hard to bare!

The ignorance and stupidity in most countries is hard to bear.. just different types of stupid.. an example is a 13 year old being able to legally buy a rifle from a private seller at a gun show in the USA!

Ah, but at least it's true, not like the OP. There is a BIG difference, though you might have missed it.

Gosh,reminded me of the Spaghetti tree in Ostea just outside Roma....I have a F tree in my house where it grows Swiss Francs but you need to water and wrap/stick 500 note round the trunk and come back after 10.months to wreap your reward

This is only July.

1 April is a long, long way away !

(from the article: "Gifts inspired by the Nariphon girls are now sold widely throughout Thailand, leading to many hoaxes.")

I saw this Bull. 20 years ago in a Thai magazine !!! ....

Everybody knows Thai girls grow in trees. You just wait under lying on your back waiting for one to drop in position.

Folk who believe this need a brain transplant. The seed of the coco de mer palm in the Seychelles is the closest you'll get to a doris growing from a tree.

Right you are ! The local name for it is 'coco fesse', which means butt-coconut

Nature is full of surprises and bizarre imitations : ever heard of a mushroom called 'phallus impudicus' ? I'm not kidding, it exists, and it stinks like hell

This is a new video clip but an old hoax that has been debunked on a lot of sites. Although these magical creatures exist in Buddhist mythology, the narrator in the video is saying they are made of fiberglass and wire. I guess the Daily Mirror didn't bother to get it translated.

Nope.

I've noticed that this year the world is full of people doing particularly stupid things or believing in ridiculous stories.

The world is getting dumber.

12% of those who took part in the poll that ran alongside this story in the daily mirror either believed this story or were not sure its fake.

Beware, the stupid are everywhere.

Tsk tsk, quite a childish answer BP, not worthy of you.

I sometimes enjoy your comments, honestly I do, but lately, I find that they've become quite judgmental, dogmatic and pedantic. Get off your high horse, you can do better than that. We can all be stupid at times, and you just proved it.

12% believing or being unsure about this story rates as stupid. A worryingly high percentage of stupidity.

Mind as they are mirror readers, maybe that's a good sign, could have been much higher.

Now that is being judgemental.

As for my response to your post, read what you wrote and you may see why I replied as I did.

and in other news, here is a tater in the form of a dick.

Is it a dicktater?

This proves what I have suspected all along...young women destined for the sex industry...really do grow on trees...

Gotta be a penisfruit tree somewhere in Japan or China.

Can't believe the government hasn't banned the vid and arrested the dolls for indecent exposure...showing off all that juicy green T&A!!!

Oh for God's sake. Could these retarded people get any more lame?

What's going on in Thailand? Is it trying to qualify for the Stupidity Olympics?

No chance, England will win. Two monkeys led the people away to the Brexit.
