kotsak Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This looks like a "normal" doll. "Child angels" have sanskrit writings and other voodoo markings on their faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8891 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Clearly, the drugs belonged to the spirit in the doll. The guy should sue for wrongful arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was in the Boat for breakfast a few Sundays ago and there was a large group of Thai adults and 3 of the women had these things.

worgeordie Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think the people that buy them must be on drugs too,either that or more money than sense,next someone will be selling child spirits to inhabit them. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccarty Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 "The bag and the doll have been send to Phuphing Police Station for further investigation." It was later determined the doll was under-aged, so there were no charges and the doll has been released to its guardian. No names were released to protect the innocent!

English 1 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Of course waiting to happen. Apart from that the people who are purchasing these stupid things are very stupid themselves. The food outlets and airlines like Thai Air who are treating the the things ar human are also infantile and stupid too. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 CityNews – A ‘Luk Thep’ doll was arrested at Chiang Mai International Airport on Monday. So they're arresting dolls now?

novo58 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'd be really pis s ed off if I couldnt get on a plane because the seats were taken up by one of these dolls. But for anyone who is into these things ................................I've got a few pet rocks for sale. You dont need to feed them , or wash them , or clean up after them.....like you do with normal pets . Going cheap whilst stocks last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktooth Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was in the Boat for breakfast a few Sundays ago and there was a large group of Thai adults and 3 of the women had these things. I really couldn't figure it out at the time but now it makes even less sense. Funny that, I was in Ohkajhu last week and three Thai adults came in with a doll and placed it at the head of the table, even asking the waitress to set a place for it. I thought they were obviously bananas and now it seems like... errrrm, yeah they still are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli42 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 RTP should confiscate and destroy all of these dolls. They are a threat to national security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
