TRUE STORY FROM THAILAND
There was this Singaporean who went on a tour to Bangkok. During
his stay there, he happened to meet his Thai business associate who
invited him to his house. After being introduced to the family
which included three daughters,the Singaporean was asked to stay
for dinner.
It was a simple meal of vegetables and fish served with traditional
white rice. The Singaporean man took his leave and continued the
remainder of his tour.
Three months later, the man decided to divorce his wife of 10
years. His wife was shocked! After persistently asking for a
reason, he disclosed that he was madly in love with his Thai
associate's second daughter. He couldn't seem to stop thinking
about her and the longing will only go away when he is with her. He
insisted on the divorce and wants to marry the girl. The wife in
her desperation decided to seek help from a "Si Fu" recommended by
her relative.
It is through him that they discovered a shocking custom. In some
parts of Thailand, when a girl first got her period, she is to rear
a fish and feed it with the sanitary pads after using them. The
fish is killed when she spots the man she wants to marry and the
fish is cooked and served to this man. The man will be so
mesmerised by her and will love her till the day she dies. The wife
upon knowing this custom appealed to the "Si fu" for a
solution.
The "Si Fu" says that only when the girl rejects the man in the
face will he wake up from his trance. There is no other way out.
The wife made a trip to Thailand to speak and plead with the
family. They relented and the spell was lifted.
Moral of the story :
You men out there, don't be taken in by a simple meal. There is
more to it. They have similar customs in Indonesia too. But they
use pubic hairs instead.
