"It's in the Issan section if you have children I suggest you follow up on it. What you do with the information is your business not mine.

So true, not true I don't know."

Those last lines in my post explain the complete intent:

I took no personal affront in the postings, didn't see that. But I did see some selective reading. Sometime I think we are just a bit to quick to jump tp conclusions.

The original intent of those original involved was noble, not to spread rumors. But, to forwarn the community. I see absolutely no harm in that at worse case what I see is people being more attentive to thier chidrens safety and I find no harm in that.

We all know that things build from the thier beginnings. But that does mean that wasn't a legitimate concern to begin with. I try to maintain an open mind, I do not feel that I know all the aspects of Thai life. I'm still very open to learning.

So now I think all they can be said has been said. I would like to crawl back my cave again.

I spoke with a number of different police yesterday. All that they could tell me was that about two years ago a mother laid her baby down outside to sleep and she went about eating and talking with her friends. She - and no one else was watching the baby until suddenly the baby started screaming and crying. They all turned to see what was wrong with the baby and there was this big lizzard on the baby's face that was eating the baby's eye...

That was the only organ harvesting that they had heard of...

Ok nothing new

Still no more news on this?
No confirmations or no more details from the Thai Government????

I know that the government is always afraid to hurt the Tourist sector,
we see it again today in Changmai where the Governor thinks that Songkran is more important than the health of his population.

Despite tourism worries, haze crackdown ordered

By Post Reporters, TNA

Provincial governors have refused to declare their provinces disaster zones again for fear this will affect Songkran festival tourism. But the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation are to give northern farmers an ultimatum: Stop "mobile farming", the polite term for slash-and-burn - or face legal action.

Chiang Mai governor Wichai Srikwan said the dust is a minor problem and it can be brought under control.

Thick smog set in on Sunday - two days after the Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai governors lifted their disaster zone status.


Still I hope that the Thai Government will tell the truth if there was some kind of child abduction or organ harvesting or serial killers, or......

Just think about it !It would take an experienced medical person,probably a surgeon,they would have to have the proper facilities for keeping ,storing and shipping of the ''harvested parts''!
What are the chances of something like this going on in Thailand ?
We can't disspell Thai myths and superstitions,but are we going to buy in to their ignorant and naive fears

and what about a serial killer??? possible????

Ooo that could be possible, yes lets see, someone who murders someone using a box of Kellogs Corn Flakes or even Rice Krispys as a murder weapon, yes they could be classed as a serial killer

Cookie. What part of NO don't you understand?
No murders reported. No bodies found. No evidence of organ removal. The only cereal killer up here is LA eating his cornflakes

Sorry, but I just can't get it out of my mind.
I also read this in a website from Korat.
Of course no confirmation, so again I don't know if it's true, only very scary....

There are posters around joho of the guy they think is responsible for these abductions. Apparantly there taken to bangkok a limb is hacked off and they are sent out begging usually with an older woman. Its mafia controlled and is supposed to be very profitable as people take pity on the deformed child and are more likely to hand over money. There was a case five years ago where a womans son was kidnapped inside a shopping centre. Despite closing the centre they never found the child. Years later the woman was walking across an overpass in bangkok , she saw what looked like her son on the street down below begging for money on closer inspection it did turn out to be her missing son, minus an arm. This horrific story was told to me by my wife also i questioned a thai friend of mine and he confirmed this does go on. I found it very hard to believe that someone could do this to a child my thai friend summed it up. These people are ANIMALS.

Last weekend pulled into the Jiffy gas station south of Nong Khai and while filling up noted a screw in my tire.. Asked the attendant where was the nearest tire repair place.. "A kilometer down the road on your left.".. Drove down., pulled in and the owner came out and got to work on the tire.. While waiting I noticed a Xeroxed drawing of a person tacked up on the wall.. "what's that?? I asked.." He replied, "That's a drawing of the guy who stole the kids and cut them up." He went on to explain that it had happened near Ta Bo and the police had come to the store to put up the wanted poster.

OK, probably the whole thing is hooha.. But, like many stories that circulate through the Isaan village cell phone grape vine, believed by innumerable folk. Quite like the Tesco boming a few months back.. While enroute to Udon, the neice called (lives about 30km south of Udon).. Oh, auntie, she told me wife.. Don't go to Tesco it was bombed today.." A drive by and a call proved that nothing had happened. However, everyone in town we asked that weekend certainly believed it was the Buddha's truth...

We were about to go out on the bike and my wifes girlfriend was concerned about our safety and warned that a large vehicle (of some descript) was deliberately causing bikes at night to "crash" and the occupants were chloroforming the riders to sleep and removing organs.
Anybody hear about this?

Sounds like some more ''new pariculars'' are accumulating as the rumour passes on Wonder how long before aliens from outer space get inserted into the rumour,although that might be a little to advanced in ''rumour thinking'' for Thailand Ghosts and foggy looking spirits in more in line with ''Thai Tales''!

things have been a bit quite on the rumour front for a while but.....

I see Val has disappeared..........Mmmmm

Maybe "The Aliens " took him back to their place to experiment on him,

Stan, you are right,
It starts to sound like "a Thai version of the X-files".
They could start to make a new ghost movie for the Thai TV.
But still a little bit worried in the back of my mind.
Keep on thinking : imagine it's true and imagine my child.
I know it sounds stupid, but....
