Bless this house...monks and strings and other things.
Yesterday we has a house blessing event.

The monks rolled up around an hour late at about 10.00 a.m.

This was just as well because i had to go get benbaaa from the Tesco in Bor Sang so as he could follow me to my place.

bustak was the only other td member in atendance along with a small bunch of our new neighbours.

he was speaking gibberish english trying to impress his mates.

i told him i didn't have a clue what he was on about and he told me he was the village head and i said....I didn't care.

i then proceeded to talk to him in Thai causing him to gradually lose his drunken temper and then telling me to "fukk off" at least he got that bit right.

We changed 3 things in our house/land last month to influence favourably our karma/luck

1 ) removed stones from the bottom of the well that were used in the house blessing

2 ) repositioned our spirit house near the front entrance

3 ) built another spirit house for the ponds.

All recommended by a fortune teller.

Hope you've got everything done right.

This guy ..........^......... has got a nice hat

Serious thought... I am surprised so many (all???) farangs (sorry, foreigners) seem to go in for all these blessings and ceremonies. Is it because you want to do it, or just to appease the missus and family?

Not that I have anything against it myself, just never felt bothered to do it.

I remember some people used to take pity on my son because we never bought a a gold or silver bracelet to put on his ankle

Anyway, CMN, it's nice to see that you are making friends and influencing people in your new neighbourhood

How many monks? "She who wants to obeyed" says we have to have 9 !!
Looks like you had 5. Probably cheaper but maybe less of a long term guarantee?
Nice house, good luck with it.

We had 7 for our main house and a single one for our two bungalows a couple of years later
As with steps in your entrance stair, it has to be an odd number.
9 is very hi-so.

very important for both the wife and the family.

better to have it done than putting up with her waiting for bad luck to occur.
