webfact Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thank goodness for amulets on the Thai roads! Thai caption: Unscathed?! A Thai driver crawled out of the wreckage of his car yesterday to proclaim: My amulet saved me! Suphakorn, 35, was lying on the ground playing with his phone as if nothing had happened yesterday, reported Daily News. He was taken to hospital in Sri Racha but was only slightly hurt. His Toyota Camry was a write-off after a collision with a truck trailer and a plunge from the Mae Kim Buay Bridge heading towards Pattaya. Picture: Daily News Before he was taken to hospital Suphakorn had time to show his savior: Luang Poo Thuat. Thailand's roads are among the most dangerous in the world. But the amulets seem to be doing a great job in keeping the death toll down to only 25,000 per year.

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks that an amulet is going to save them in an accident, should be considered too stupid to be allowed to operate a vehicle. I don't even want to get started on the next bunch of fools coming down the track, who will want his licence plate for lottery purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you took this article seriously only shows that you get bothered by local nonsense and pagan beliefs, beside, amulet people will ridicule others who believe in say, god, they can claim and rightly so, that there's no difference in putting your fate and luck in some obscure lofty deity than a chunk of clay on a string...

RichardColeman Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm guessing that the reason so many die in the hospitals after these crashes is that the doctors remove the amulets to operate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say so many will continue to drive with their trade mark recklessness now buoyed up by the fact that their amulet will actually protect them!! I find such things quite scary that in these modern times, given the easy access to endless digital information people can still hold such beliefs, this really is stuff from the dark ages. do you still believe in Father Xmas????

Denim Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Luang Poo Thuat was obviously sleeping on the job or he would have prevented the accident from happening at all. Can't be trusted. Accident prevention amulet is what is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting dubious about the tooth fairy now. When I was a kid and put a tooth under my pillow, I'd wake up the next morning with sixpence there. Now if I put my dentures under the pillow, nothing happens any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intherealworld Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 They need to believe in Amulets. as reality is to much for them to deal with, it may result in loss of small face, causing small capacity gray matter over load. TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they wear an amulet, a crucifix, or a suicide vest, they all live in a fantasy world that endangers everybody around them. Collisions (!) with reality seldom change their 'beliefs'.
