I am just really tired of farang here on TVF calling Thai stupid... and they likely do not realize how <deleted> off their wives get when called stupid... by such as mentioned above. I'm sorry, but believing in ghosts is pretty damn stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you call everyone who does stupid? I have never seen a ghost but both my Thai wife and my farang wife say that they have... But, at least we should be able to agree on this... calling someone stupid doesn't help anything, is mean, and the only thing it will surely accomplish is that you will make an enemy...

It had nothing to do with "how long air has been sitting in the tyres", she blamed the low tires on not using the bike enough. I am surprised at how many smart farangs missed that. It's perfectly reasonable. If she had used it yesterday, there would be air in the tires. She would have put it there. The last time she used the bike was long enough ago that the air has all leaked out. So it's 100% down to how often she uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 After my wife's parents died, the kids were spread around the aunts and uncles. My wife got lucky and went to live with her uncle in Chicago, creating a somewhat different mindset to her sisters and brother. So in the middle of thunderstorm, her brother turns off his cellphone and tells my wife she should too. "why". Because you'll die. "why". Because the lightening will get into your phone. "How"....it just does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a real concern when phones still used a wire. Can't be so hard to grasp. Edited January 24, 2020 by Enki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 So, wife's uncle died a few years back in Isaan. A few days later we're drinking with his kids in his house at night, wood house lifted at the end of a path... I go down to take a leak and think it funny to go under the floor boards and knock gently...they were genuinely scared. They show me a photo taken of the son in the house and on his shoulder is a skeleton hand....I swear...looked so real. Took the wife and some other ladies one day to find this guy known to rid a person of evil spirits...an all day drive to locate him. I didn't witness it as I sat on the lift gate and drank a beer waiting. Is it real or is it not? I don't know, but what I do know is that they believe.

sipi Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I have been spirit hunting with the locals with one of those fine mesh nets. It was interesting and served the purpose (the bad spirit was caught and put in the fire) Edited January 25, 2020 by sipi Spelt "in" wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
