Fortune-teller sleeping on footpath run over and killed 

By The Nation

 

PRAE: -- A fortune-teller dozing in his usual spot on the sidewalk in front of a Phrae market was run over and killed early Friday morning by a pickup truck whose driver had lost control.

 

Prasit Thungkao, 65, died soon after rescuers hoisted the truck to free him from under a wheel. 

 

Sirilak Punjai, 25, told police she’d been returning home from work when she lost control of her pickup after swerving to avoid another vehicle on a curve in the road outside the market in Mueang district. Police said the truck mounted the curb and struck the sleeping man at about 12.30am before coming to rest against a power pole.

 

Sirilak and her passenger, Panas Ruankham, 24, were taken to Prae Hospital with unspecified injuries.

 

Vendors at the market said Prasit was a popular figure there and typically slept on the footpath while waiting to tell the fortunes of regular customers and passers-by.

thank you. 

an excellent rejoinder to the inevitable response.

Could this affect his after life.??

"You will become famous for a short time"

At least it didn,t come as a surprise ! My Mum was a medium, it even said so at the back of her winter woolies.

He knew lying down on the job was unlucky... but figured it was ok because he wasn't working.

Not a good day for the fortune telling industry.

Tsk Tsk Tsk

I wonder if doris stokes is on facebook as lots of idiots post messages to dead people

Jeez, why is it so many ops like to take the p-ss of somebody else's misfortune. What a cynical bunch you all are.

 

RIP Mr. Fortune Teller.

I suppose he was an unfortunate teller

Another p-ss artist

Any death like this is a tragedy. RIP the victim.

 

However, I'm always amazed how Thai people go to get life advice from people whose 'office' is a plastic chair in the street. I mean come on.

You seem to have issues went faced with the irony of someone who has perfected conning others for a living being mowed down by his inability to predict his own ending. This person is nothing more than a con, a fraud and a thief praying on the vulnerable, superstitious and naive.

 

His death is no loss to society even though you may have lost your life guiding advisor.

He had a lucky face. 

 

But the rest of him,  not so sure about that.

He was a guy sleeping rough on the streets who probably made 50-100 baht a day making people happy being told what they wanted to hear.

You make it sound like he some sort of religious nutter making millions out of other people suffering.

His death my be no loss to society, neither will yours. But hey ho life goes on.

PS note to myself

 

Fortune tellers do not see the future avoid them unless you need a tax revenue receipt.

If telling people what they want to hear, although more than likely completely wrong and just an ignorant fabrication is what makes like minded happy, I  predict you will one day become intelligent. Although it may take some time and of course, will be a subjective opinion based on those making the judgement.

Well I am glad you are not one to make judgement. You are happy a man who sleeps on the streets has lost his life.

I hope never to become as intelligent as you.

I'd guess you might well be a banker or an insurance broker.

Another uneducated and uninformed comment. One day you may surprise us. Maybe not!

I doubt you could be surprised. You just put 'un' before words and think it makes you look smart.

Well its amazing how wrong you are.

You are the uneducated one. You are happy a man has died, that is a man who has done no wrong to anyone, why don't you go buy the guy/girl who killed him a pint. How proud your folks must be.

people in 3rd world countries go for things such as fortune telling

I'm also a fortune teller and much other woowoo, and I can see James Randi would save hundreds of Thai people from dying every year.
