Dogmatix Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 In reality he is bound to be severely rattled by this prophecy, since all Thais believe in this type of mumbo jumbo and ghosts and stuff. Watch this space for the fortune teller to reverse the prophesy after a discrete visit by helmeted MPs or, failing that, to be arrested under the Computer Crimes Act for spreading false prophecies.

It's not a "one off", he has regular consultations with Warin Buawiratlert. Oh yes, and there's more: At one point, when he was feeling a bit unwell, he claimed that "spells" were being cast on him by political opponents. He has a collection of "lucky" rings and chooses which one to wear depending on its relevance to any particular activity. He wears an elephant hair bracelet as a general purpose "defence" against bad luck. (Before robblok homes in I should mention that some simple people in the West wear St.Christophers medallions out of more than habit, tradition and convention) Edited February 7, 2017 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M71 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) I sincerely think that this country has served a lot better under his leadership as apposed to the previous years and decades of recent history. Not sure Thailand is ready for actual democracy. “Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.” Edited February 7, 2017 by M71 forgot the quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hall Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The best fortune teller is a brilliant mind but even this can not predict the unpredictable. Hence, it will come as it eventually comes with or without fortune telling or in other words there is nothing to worry about, honey coz this ain't change a thing.

blazes Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Before we get too holier-than-thou about Thailand's addiction to fortune-tellers, let us not forget that , just over 30 years ago, Nancy Reagan was consulting a numerologist and providing husband Ronnie, the Keeper of the Nukes, advice on which way to go as a result of the numerologist's findings. And also let us not forget that 400/500 years ago Europe was infested with priests and monks who used to sell fragments of Jesus's hair and bones (for a small sum) to ward off evil spirits or get one into heaven double quick at croak-time. Something along the lines of today's amulets. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhruGin Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Taksin cancelled a cabinet meeting or decisions to be made that day because the planets were misaligned or was it aligned some years ago.... either way therein lies a huge problem when the people in charge of running a country base their action or inaction on such matters.

saminoz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's scary that this silly, megalomaniacal little general sees nothing wrong in publicly displaying his ignorance and reliance on this mumbo jumbo crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Thailand will ever achieve true democracy. Prayuth's idea of democracy is just another extension of what we have now. China seems to be setting to tone for Asia "democracy" and the rest of the Asian leaders are taking to it like a duck to water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Looking at the picture it is easy to see the pecking order. The front row is heads up and he next row is heads down. The second row dearly hopes to make it to the front row some day. Better check your bank balance first. Money is the springboard you require.

Earlier, astrologer Sorajja Nualyoo, known as “Thailand’s Nostradamus”, predicted bad fortune for the country’s leader and violence in the country.Very similar to another fortune teller story from November 2015.

Not sure Thailand is ready for actual democracy. That from someone who's probably had the privilege of spending most of his life in a democracy. Case of "It's ok for me but not for you Thai peasants". State one improvement that the junta has made to the lives of the Thais. Don't say reduction in violence because without the regular overthrow of legal govt there wouldn't be any provocation for violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcsw53 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I would have classified the comments of the fortune teller as being unhelpful and damaging, therefore warranting arrest and fines. But then I am not Thai or thinking like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
