'Destroy world day'
- March 12, 2005
Yesterday we mentioned the talk in Thai newspapers
about the March 13 doomsday event. Today, The
Nation mentions this too (Doomsday
prediction sparks fear of tsunami, The Nation,
March 12, 2004). It is strange that The Nation
states people are 'wondering how it originated and
whether any astrologer had actually announced it
officially' when the Thai-language papers have have
many articles on the subject along with the opinions
of many astrologers.

Tungkananun, the development director of Zencar
company and the hypermarket Carrefour said the company
is not afraid of the forecast and will not have

include making merit, averting the effects of misfortune,

Earlier: March 13 - the day to watch - translated
and summarized from Matichon, March 10, 2005
The Chairperson of the Horoscope Society, Mr. Pinyo
Pongcharoen, said many fortune tellers warn Thaksin
not to do any activity on March 12-13 because it
is a 'world destroy day.' The fortune teller said
Thaksin is a Virgo so he has to be careful with
emotion and common sense. This year he will be very
exhausted, facing problems and has to careful of
his health--which is not well. On March 13 all should
be careful of natural disasters, accidents, and
traveling by air.
One fortune teller who is a movie star and survivor
of the tsunami, Mr. Channaron Kuntitao [nickname
Tik Klinsi] said he is also watching for March 12,
but in his opinion April 2 or 3 is a worse day.
Be careful traveling because in Esarn and the North
will have hail.
[Ask your Thai friends: March 13th as an unlucky
day has been circulating widely since a week or
so after the tsunami. Strangely enough, when we
at 2B created a new template for breaking news after
the tsunami, we randomly picked the date 'March
13, 2005' as a holder date in the template.]
