5. favourite song in your native language?: ไกลแค่ไหนคือใกล้ - getsunova
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?: well, we have tons of them! but the one that will sound absolutely strange to outsiders is the “พระราชพิธีถือน้ำพิพัฒน์สัตยา/พระราชพิธีศรีสัจจปานกาล”, a hinduist tradition that the royal family used to practice for centuries. it includes a large tank of water with deadly weapons that was prayed and cursed by the brahmas to curse those who betray the king. so all of the civil servants and officers need to drink that water and vow with their lives to serve the king. this was held annually to ensure that these people won’t betray and attack the monarch in any way. but if they did, they would suffer from those deadly weapons and fatal malady, and this karma will directly send them to hell for eternity. however, this was cancelled by king rama iv and never held again ever since.
thank you so much for sending this in !!
