Haunted Thai Hotels

Haunted Thai Hotels

Thailand is reputed as the most haunted country especially her hotels.

The country to our north, Thailand, is according to many believers of the supernatural is filled with ghosts and/or “kong tau” (black magic). Stories about ghosts and the paranormal in hotels in Thailand are most frequent encounters compared to other places. Tales of hauntings at Asia Hotel (I have written in another blog), Holiday Inn, Baiyoke Sky Hotel, White Orchid Hotel, Holiday Inn etc. in Thailand.

White Orchid Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand

Guests in these hotels had encountered strange things like scratches on the body, noises or knocking late in the night, long hairs found in the dressing tables (when only guys are staying there) and some even saw a black apparition crouching on the bedroom ceiling!

Back to my ghostly tale in Thailand, Walter Teng works in Alor Setar in the northern state of Kedah. Walter would travel regularly to Thailand to meet up with his clients, in fact Walter would joke that he has been to all the major cities and towns in that country.

Demonic Rage

Demonic Rage

“… her face was twisted in utter hatred ..”

Possession has been defined as a domination of by an evil demonic spirit. Demonic possessions occur in numerous incidents throughout in Malaysia as in other countries. These are generally done by exorcist who expel or cast off the demon, devil or ‘hantu’ from the affected victim. Other the word exorcist, in Malaysia, they are also known as Taoist or Buddhist master, sifu or bomoh etc.

A Girl Being Possessed

I remember many years ago, I was asked to go our factory in Shah Alam, Selangor. There was a disturbance there and my colleagues said and it was one of our factory workers. The factory worker had climbed almost to the top of a lanky tree and he was wildly waving his hand on a rather thin slim branch while shouting at us in a strange language.

Robert, the Quality manager, suggested that we should get a pastor from a nearby church which we readily agreed. The bewildered & somewhat scared pastor who despite his best effort got instead got urinated by the possessed worker. As the flustered pastor said, that it was better to get a bomoh who is more experience in these local situations.

Oops before I get carried away (probably due to old-aged) I should get back to my tale about a possessed woman.
