Funny article by the well-known Andrew Biggs in the Bangkok Post. Like this guy.
https://www.bangkokpost.com/lifestyle/s ... in-a-dream.

He highlights the craziness, which I often argue about with my wife. Words were also recently exchanged on the Thai's inability to break-off eating, which Biggs also refers to. I'll draw the article to her attention later, but I predict there'll be some kind of explanation or excuse.

Funny that. I dreamed last night that 41 was the lotto number..must be going around.
My missus pleads every night to the pillow before sleep, to dream of the lucky number.
I gave her the winning numbers twice but she forgot to buy the tickets..
Everyday the word lotto comes into the conversation. Indeed, the niece's husband, a feuding young couple badly in debt, just won 80,000bt on the lotto, and the family went ballistic, with party, food, gold chains, and offering to the spirit world for an even bigger win please..never mind the 200,000bt debt . The money brought them all together for one happy drunken week, now its pistols at 50 paces again...but still my indoors dreams of winning with a craze..Bless her

Udon seems to be lucky in recent times. Isn't it 2 x 90 million baht wins? Goodness knows, if I was ever fortunate to win big money, I'd be tight-lipped about it, 'cause it seems those who shouted out loud, get non-stop hassle.

Yes, keep it all hush hush but we'd probably have to kill the sister-in-law to ensure that. But the ensuing hassle of publicity is common enough in the west where it's relatively easy to spot the fake relatives. I can't even tell the genuine ones here so it would be a nightmare with all these hitherto unknown sisters, uncles and cousins showing up.

I recall my dear old mum and dad always ticking the 'privacy' box when they did their weekly flutter on Littlewoods or Vernons. Beyond the odd tenner on the 'spot the ball' in the Press & Journal, they went to their graves winless.

Remember the Password and J spot the ball competing well that's for sure
