rooster59 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Amulets and statue saves Thai from certain death in pick-up smash Image: Sanook A 60 year old Thai man emerged from the wreckage of his pick-up truck to claim that all was well because of his amulets and a statue he had on his dash. Sukhon Phuangsri escaped without so much as a scratch such was the power of the magic. He was standing waiting for reporters by the wreckage of his Isuzu D-Max that had hit a lamppost breaking it in two. The statue was of Luang Pu Thuat, well known for saving countless lives. Sukhon said that he was on his way back to Yasothorn after attending a family funeral. But his time had not come yet. He said he was overtaking another vehicle and lost control. However, the amulets and statue are unlikely to save him from costs arising from negligent driving and damaging public property. Police were expected to charge him later yesterday.

lujanit Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So his survival has nothing to do with the fact that the vehicle was extremely well engineered and built. Stupid superstitious man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If those amulets and statue are so powerful, why was he involved in an accident in the first place? where's the logic here?

samsensam Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 people who miraculously escape death or serious injury in the west often have similar belief in the supernatural when they can be heard saying God looked down on them... insinuating God, for some reason, favours them, but also God did not favour others killed or injured in the accident. what ever gets you through i suppose.

canuckamuck Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Amulets that protect you from being a complete arse on the Highway. That explains much of Thai's attitude on the road. But how do they explain the massive annual death toll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your missing here is that belief in this superstitious nonsense is part of the irresponsible way Thai's drive. I will be ok no matter what happens. Even if I've killed other people, my amulets will protect me. Speeding, drunk driving mai pen rai. I'll be ok. Selfish, superstitious bullshit.

darksidedog Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 " The statue was of Luang Pu Thuat, well known for saving countless lives. " So it isn't just the driver who believes in hokey-pokey magic, but apparently the reporter and most of the country. I can see these people rushing out to buy one, to enable them to drive even more crazily, without fear of death. Almost as stupid as when the South African minister of Health proclaimed that having sex with a virgin would cure AIDS, leading to a massive rise in rape.

I don't care what nationality. Superstition is nonsense. If you think having a go at a bloke who thinks amulets saved him is Thai bashing, then that's your opinion.

roo860 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It took a while for my wife and daughter to realise that no amulets etc will save their life. I taught them defensive driving and being aware of other road users might just help.Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoilSpoil Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 There are a lot of people who believe in the virgin birth of Jesus as well. Or visit Lourdes in the South of France. So ignorance and superstition are cross cultural traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
