Holy String

Post by sandman67 »

got a mate in the UK who is asking me to send him some thai holy string you wear like a bangle... except its not the raggy looking white stuff its sort of thinner cotton like red string

Anyone seen any about? Where can I get some?

I asked Amy but she cant understand why I dont want a ball of the raggy white packing string stuff.

Thanks

Sandman

Must say, there is some irony in this one. :mrgreen: Send the Mrs down to your favourite place, the temple, should be able to sort you out. :twisted:

Any chance he may have got his (red) wires crossed?

Sandman,

Go up to the area near the standing Buddha on Takiab mountain overlooking the beach. They have very fancy "holy strings" available there in all the colors of the rainbow and all they ask is for a small donation.

You better warn your friend that he has to wear it until it falls off naturally. If he removes it, legend states that all kinds of bad luck will befall him. :alien: :shock: Pete :cheers:

Uh oh. :shock: During a discussion with the GF last night about Animism, Mysticism and nonsense, I removed the string tied around my wrist when she said that I must believe or I would have taken off the string.

Sure enough, the bad luck has already started. Sent the niece to buy me four big bottles of beer and a bag of ice, and she came back with five small cans and no ice!
