It has been almost four months now since the Thai People’s Alliance for Democracy kicked off its rally to oust the “puppet government” in Bangkok. Many staunch PAD supporters had started to wonder why it had taken so long to make inroads.

And a group of feng shui enthusiasts who regularly join the rally at the Government House compound have concluded it was due to bad practice of the ancient Chinese belief.

They alerted the PAD leaders, who promptly followed their advice. For example, large mirrors have been placed at the tip of every ancient cannon around the Government House lawn to “reflect bad feng shui away”.

The backstage team was asked to change the position of the stairs from the middle to the side of the stage as having the stairs in the middle could “break apart the PAD.” And the experts suggested a pair of lions be placed at each end of the stage.

But a suggestion to relocate the main stage to the opposite side in order to have Santi Maitree building as the back wall was a step too far.

“Dismantling and reinstalling this huge stage would cost us hundreds of thousands of baht plus the labour of dozens of our staff,” said Anchalee Paireerak, a PAD moderator. “Thanks for your advice, but just let it be.”

In the Philippines, airport officials plan to seek advice from a feng shui expert in an effort to put an end to the misfortunes that have hounded the P500-million Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

An assistant airport manager said they also plan to get a local shaman who would offer blood of live animals to appease the dark spirits that could be lurking in the building.

And to make sure all the bases are covered, the airport official said they would tap a local spiritualist.

Airport officials pointed out that when construction of the facility began, a whole village and a church across the street was leveled off.

A new and bigger church had since replaced the previous one.

Last Friday, Levi Garma of Quirino province, hanged herself with a scarf at the fourth floor of NAIA-3. Well-wishers and visitors came to her rescue and brought her to the airport clinic.

A day before the failed suicide, a chunk of a ceiling in the arrival area collapsed at past midnight Wednesday. No one was hurt.
