Double headed calf set to become Krabi cash cow!

Most people have heard of the term two head of cattle - in Krabi yesterday they experienced the two headed calf.

The creature was delivered stillborn at the home of Samrong, 47, in the  Klong Thom district of Krabi.

Samrong said that she had already won prizes in the lottery three times while the calves - that are actually joined twins - were in the uterus. They were born with two heads, six legs and 2 tails.

Sanook.com reporters who went to her house saw the creature laid out amid flowers, candles and incense. People were already praying to it for the next round of lottery numbers.

Samrong said she plans to have it stuffed and treated with formalin and put in a four sided glass case. Then it will be kept at the temple of Wat Tru Toey.

Samrong is sure people will come to pray to the calves as there are many who believe they are auspicious. And she hopes it will help to raise money by donations to repair the temple's main chapel.

A vet said the claves were joined twins who had died while in the uterus. They were 1.5 meters long and weighed 15 kilos, the vet said.

That's really way to early to milk a cow....:coffee1:

OK then,  choose your next lottery numbers from one of, or all of, the following...........

2 heads

6 legs

2 tails

1.5 metres

15 Kilograms..

should not be too difficult.......

Well, dunno about you, folks, but if i was living somewhere around there i'd certainly be a bit more concerned about what causes such abominations and what it could do to myself - rather than musing about lottery-numbers ...! 

Savages, they drive cars and use the internet and microwave ovens but in their hearts and heads they are savages.

how can people think that a two headed calf is lucky ,IT"S DEAD so how lucky was that

Thailand is a highly superstitious country. Ghosts, fortune tellers, witch doctors, amulets the list goes on. Thais see mutation as a sign of luck. Can't see it changing.

I pray to get one of these and charge the fools lined up outside to come and see it. Better than winning the lottery.

Years ago when I was young and went on a bender I felt like some of the symptoms above when I woke up in the morning and I did not deem it lucky.

Give it some thought laddie its dead thats the blessing. Imagine going through life fighting with your alter ego. 

Did anyone ever figure out the sex was it one of each?? Looking at it from a human standpoint if it was one of each that sure would be a lifetime of hell. 

It's amazing that Thais will do anything to bring along a little fortune with the lottery tickets....

They believe in absolutely anything & everything.

Just one. Talk about chins I watched Ian McNiece (starred in Doc Martin as well) the other day in a movie now there is a man with chins and jowels.

I don't think so.  I think it's sweet they are treating an unlikely mutation as "lucky". ?

thank you for such wonderful Thai-bashing;

actually in my extensive experiences here, the Thais are far more spiritual and gracious and generous and considerate to their neighbors and friends than  virtually any Westerner, but of course one only finds that out and experiences it if they bother to learn the language and culture

and stay away from Pattaya, Phuket, and the infamous sleaze areas of Bangkok...

Nature screws up sometimes and produces an abomination like this calf. Any decent civilized human takes it away to bury or burn. Only a bloody savage would consider it something special and put it on display to be revered and prayed to with hope of winning the bloody lottery. Got SFA to do with Pattaya/Phuket & Bangkok sleaze.

No no no they are true believers, Jesus.... but in what, oh yes free money the major god around here.

People will come to pray to the calves. It's good that we live in the modern age.
