    Window Decals of Ghostly Apparitions Banned in Thailand

    BANGKOK – Thailand’s Land Transport Department has jumped in ahead of a ghostly craze in China, before it’s arrival in Thailand by warning Thai drivers not to adopt it or be fined.

    Department director-general Sanit Promwong said in a statement on Saturday that window decals of apparitions could affect drivers who are deeply susceptible to other-world imagery.

    you missed this quote

    Motoring in Thailand is described by some as an out-of-body experience, and bus and truck drivers are frequently demonised as creatures from the underworld because of their dangerous driving habits.

    That's the whole idea.
    Just because YOU are scared of a picture of a teenager in make-up, you arbitrarily impose a 2000 baht fine.

    500 baht fine for dangerous driving that could seriously harm someone, 2000 baht for a harmless picture.

    No, but your avatar is. I thought you were going to change it now that you don't need to tease some Bush fan.

    I did not like Cabbage Patch dolls and I thought that they were spooky.
