NAKHON SI THAMMARAT: -- A Nakhon Si Thammarat real estate agent made an offering of 100 pig heads and 999 eggs yesterday at the sacred shrine of “Tuad Pu Chee,” since he believes that the shrine’s supernatural powers helped him succeed at his job.

 

Rathapat Panman, 40, and his mother Hieng, 84, led over 50 villagers in a traditional procession where they danced to live drummers.

 

Rathapat said he took an oath at the Tuad Pu Chee shrine (or “Great Grandfather Chee” in English) promising that, if he succeeded at his new job, he would return with an offering of 100 pig heads and 100 eggs.

No thought about actually putting his head down and working hard to succeed at his job?

I only can shake my head in bewilderment and disgust.

 

A lot of people in this country are stuck in the deepest dark ages.

David Cameron would be in his element there, as he is a lover of pigs heads.

Well look where we are the hub of no hope so got to try something different like wasting money giving to those who already take the mick

Ah yes, just another example of how backward Thailand is. With a mentality like that it's no wonder the country is fast becoming a laughing stock in the world.

He understands Thailand fully and that 100 snouts will give him a good chance to get his share of the trough

And just because some people will not eat at all or eat pig, then all will have to stop talk about it and take pictures.

Is it same when all the people in southern Thailand say they not want any more bombs and terror. Does those people stop?

Next time you can try to come up with something of value, instead of just getting hungry during ramadan when you see a pig head.
