2005 Thai Predictions
Posted by Stuart at 01:53 PM on January 11, 2005Astrologer's New Year's predictions are treated as tabloid fodder in the US, but here in SE Asia they are taken a little bit more seriously. The former King of Cambodia made headlines earlier this month when he said that one of his astrologers predicted the tsunami and since the King did a super-secret ritual, Cambodia was spared.
Astrologers are popular in Bangkok as well. One of the main Thai-language newspapers in Bangkok appears to have an astrologer on staff, and better yet, they are claiming that he also "predicted" the tsunami a year ago.
His predictions for this year are out. But before you rush over to read them I have to tell you that if you believe that he is accurate, this list will be a very depressing read for you.
So, without further ado, I present The Nation's Fasten Your Seatbelts, Please. (A very appropriate title, I must add.)

Thanks for the link - that was a most interesting article. Scary really. Are all his prediction this negative?
the guy mentioned practically every calamity except the plague of locusts. i may have to paint lamb's blood on our door...
Why is Singha-kom not mentioned?
What were all of his predictions for 2004, and what percentage of the predictions came true? Were they all negative, also?

Yeah, hard to believe, huh? I'll keep the list and we can have fun looking over it next January!
One of my co-workers has a "magic eight ball" Yoda, where you ask a question and squeeze his left hand.
Among the answers is "Squeeze my hand too hard, you have."
That's not any good .......
