JJGreen Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 There’s a new couple in one of the apartments on my floor. They keep dropping money along the hallway from their room to the elevator.I haven’t actually seen them ever drop it , but before they moved in I never saw any money on the ground in the hallwaySince they have moved in a month back...67 baht in total I have picked up on my way to the Trash room before I go to bed.2 x 20 baht notes, and the rest in coins. Don’t they hear the coins when they drop? A ten baht coin is solid enough to make a decent sound. Seems odd they would just throw money away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think they just want to help you, but are worried you'll lose face if they hand over money directly. Slip an anonymous note under their door, thanking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmesJr Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Think of them as recognition and royalties for your work on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 If new neighbors are Thai, not unusual if their new home is far away from where they come from. It has to do with "luck" at the new place. But to drop 20 Bht bills would be very unusual. (Why overpay the good "House Spirits"), especially if they are not even registered as some Union Members. I suppose, the 20 BHT bills were involuntarily dropped by a Farang Co-Habitant with holes in his pockets. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogeroc Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) You are definitely running low on ideas for new topics! I think the trend is moving towards positive topics so perhaps you can invent something around how wonderful your life in Thailand and your wife / gf are.

Rc2702 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Nah not at all this is a good question and it would appear there is good reason for this post, seems pretty genuine and the superstition sounds? Thainess? I got another. The Mrs reckons cats wanting to live with us is a sign of luck but the mrs often tries to claim this for pretty much anything. 6 tuctaw sounds and above is good luck and anything less is bad? We feed an old stray cat pumpuy mackerel/sardines in tomato sauce each day. I think another cat trying to get in on action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will muscle the cat out of the way and sing for my supper. Make sure the animal is good and healthy so it can go forth and propagate and produce more company for your dinner table. I guess its not much different than the way us humans have treated the table of life on this planet. Gorge and engorge. The sowing part is over now it is time to reap.

Torrens54 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Take great care as you stoop to pick up the Loot. Perchance it is all a cunning ploy to get you in a vulnerable position, enabling one of them to Rush you and carryout some dastardly offence upon your person,while the other takes photographs to post here, giving us all a good chuckle whilst we study the look of shock and shame upon your face.
