Tattoo Festival at Wat Bang Phra

'Every March, the Wat Bang Phra buddhist temple of Nakhom Pathom, Thailand, becomes the scene of a celebration, known as the Wat Bang Phra Tattoo Festival.'

'Wat Bang Phra buddhist monastery is famous for its magically charged tattoos and amulets which can protect its wearer against harm and even speeding bullets.'

'Some of the devotees, in a deep trance had been taken over by the animals tattooed onto their bodies. Sometimes a monkey. Sometimes a tiger.

If they were a tiger they would roar and clench their fingers like claws. If they were a snake they would crawl on the ground.'

Some were calmed by their friends who stroked their head or rubbed their ears.

'And how about protection from being physically harmed?

The people who have that tattoo (ลงยันต์ สัก ), will be protected. But they must be moral, and follow the five precepts. (Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not be unfaithful to your spouse. Do not lie. Do not take drugs.)'

The Corrections Museum - Bangkok

 

                                Wellcome to

           The Corrections Museum,

                                    guys!

                   I guess we are at home here.

First you must see the coffin. The client was put into this box and it was outside under the hot sun. There was only small holes not to drown.

A koporsó. A klienst ebbe helyezték, majd kitették a tűző napra. A dobozon csak apró lyukak voltak, hogy ne fulladjon meg.

The jaw hook. And the client was forced to stand on his toes.
 

A kampó. És az ügyfél csak lábujjhegyen tudott állni.

The client was put into this large rattan ball and it had sharp nails inside. And an elephant's task was to roll this ball.

Az ügyfelet ebbe a bambuszból font labdába helyezték, ami belül szögekkel volt kiverve. Majd egy elefántra bízták, hogy görgesse maga előtt.

This tools holded the client's fingers tight and then it was easy to get the fingernails down.

Ez az eszköz tartotta szorosan a kliens ujjait, s könnyítette meg, hogy le lehessen szedni a körmeit.

These bamboo poles was fastened to the client's neck and it made the moving hard in the cell.

Ez a két bambuszszál volt a kliens nyakára erősítve, s tette nehézkessé a mozgást a cellában.

Then as usually.

Aztán az általános ügymenet.
