pattaya127 Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 OK, my GF was away a few weeks ago, and my neighbour's thai wife told me that the way my bed was disposed in my condo could only bring bad luck as thais believe, as the head was at the same level as the toilets. Why not, changed the bed from one wall to the other wall, so that my feet were actually the closest part of my body to the john. Then Gf comes home, and sees the change and the first thing she says: This is bad luck positiooning for thais, the feet should not face the rising sun before your head. What should I do?

Guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 common sense would be to have it where u want it, however, if you believe in Feng Shui and it is important then you probably need to have the whole condo done as it seems everything is interlinked (as you are finding out)....

Confused in Pattaya Actually your GF is correct. From a feng shui point of view. It all has to do with the proper flow of energies. Put the bed back the way it should be!!! (don't want to take any chances in dirupting bed enery now do we? ) The Thai thing is NOT feng shui, just the high/low respect thing. So raise the bed up on blocks and everybody happy. Of course you could bring in the 9 monks to advise you, or the plumber to give you a sunken crapper, but IMHO the 1st method is simpler and a heck of a lot cheaper :hubba: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaad Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 [color:"red"] never gave it too much thought, just playing along with TIT. [/color] Leave it the way it was till she comes up with a better idea, after all, she's the only one who's bothered by the Feng Shui. Or maybe you could try to talk her out of that supersticious crap. I won't try that myself, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you could try to talk her out of that supersticious crap. I won't try that myself, though ------------------------------------------- I'd think my neighbours, one being french, are as guilty as her to comment on HOW one must orientate one's bed. She has not threatened any action herself, if bed was staying in its new position, whereas my 2 thai/farang neighbours were adamant I must change it. I agree with Lao Hu Li that it has a lot to do with low respect as much as superstition, since the feet are dimmed the lowest part, and the John the lowest as well, as concerns the rooms. Other than that, talk the whole superstition "crap" out of thai life, and watch Thailand become a little less thai and a little more like Home, which so many on this board profess to only stand because they will be on a flight to LOS, God allows. there must be something right in thai life to long for that very special trip.

pattaya127 Posted February 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 What was your neighbour's Thai wife doing in your bedroom ----------------------------- very funny, except that she has never set foot in my appartment. We just live thai style, front door open during the day. these people relate to my GF when i am gone, as good neighbours do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
