Thai Folktales

I've recently finished Thai Folktales by M.L. Manich Jumsai and thought of sharing some passages from the book with you:

- “Man could even conquer the universe, cross rivers and deserts if he wanted to.”

- “In Thai tradition, the ghost of a woman who dies in childbirth is very fierce and must not be cremated…”

- “According to Thai belief, a human being can be reborn as a god in an afterlife, enjoying much greater happiness than an earthly man can.”

- “Bad men can be reborn in hell after death or be born as lowly animals with all the discomforts of life, for the Thais believe that life never dies.”
