I would like to ask about strange thai superstitions you have encountered.
The question came up, as my bf who is planning to extend his hair salon (and of course asks some help with it ) suddenly claims that it is bad luck to start building anything after what he calls the 'Big Buddha Day'in August, until October or so. Has anybody heard of such a superstition? Or is it another of those 'you can tell the farang anything, he will believe' stories?
Another one was a bit funny. One day we were driving in the mountains and an elephant crossed the road. I exclaim, 'Look, elephant!' He says nothing.... I: 'Do you see? '. He says nothing. 'Why are you not talking to me?' Nothing... Later he said it brings bad luck to say anything when you spot a wild elephant...
