Lucky or unluckyI would say most of us expats, even with financial things the way they are, still lucky to be here, rather than back in their own country, why's that, because we took the challenge to travel half way round the world, we had the chance and took it. even luckier you have Koratfart to read
Who said, you lucky people - Tommy trinder
So what's considered by the good folk of Thailand or even the expat to be lucky, or even what's considered to be unlucky, in a country which is very superstitious. stepping on a gecko is said to be lucky, not for the gecko, as he struggles to get on his way. kee nok a bird poops on you, that's lucky, not for you though. one wonders where these superstitions come from, i think the good folk here look for anything that could be a sign of good luck or prosperity.take numbers for instance 7/7/07 July 7, 2007 was that an auspicious day. but if something did happen lucky for someone on that day, they would revert back to 7/7/7 being the reason why.
Not only Thailand every country has superstions, like no.13, years ago in the uk if you purchased 12 rolls from the baker, he'd give you 13, hence the saying a bakers dozen. did anyone say no thanks 12 will do. walking under a ladder whilst a guy is painting is not only unlucky but more dumb than anything else.
Superstitions can even tell you how to build your home, steps leading up to your house, 1, 3, 5, 7,steps is thought by many ok. 2,4,6, not to be lucky. your front door of your home, must not be in line with your back door as your luck will blow through, gone with the wind.
