The world of social media never fails to surprise, and this time, a Thai influencer has taken center stage with a spectacle that blends ancient mysticism, international politics, and a sprinkle of fast-food quirkiness. The scene? A graveyard in Chon Buri, Thailand. The players? None other than Lapatsarada Rakangthong, a 32-year-old social media maven, and her sidekick, lottery sage Phirada Tanachotinda, who is known by her mystical moniker, Mae Nam Nueng. Together, they stirred up a potent pot of controversy on the night of July 31st, one that involved fiery curses against top Cambodian officials amidst offerings of pizza and fried chicken.
The saga unfolds at the Trikunnatham Foundation cemetery in Nong Ri, Mueang district, where Lapatsarada conjured an uncanny ceremony that drew eyes from far and wide. What started as yet another of her audacious online antics transformed into a politically charged séance aimed squarely against the Cambodian elite. Present were images of figures like Hun Sen, the chairperson of Cambodia’s Privy Council, and Major General Mali Sothia from their Ministry of Defence, ominously graced by incense smoke, fervent chants, and the unusual offerings of KFC and pizza to the departed.
Lapatsarada’s motivation? A spirited rally against what she perceives as grave injustices thudding from Cambodia towards her beloved Thailand. “I don’t like Hun Sen or Mali. They’ve harmed the innocent, twisted the truth, and brought misfortune to Thailand,” she declared amidst flickering candlelight, urging the spirits to intervene. Her assertions that the ethereal artillery at her disposal far surpasses any Cambodian incantations sent chills down digital spines: “They may have tried it, but I have over 1,000 spirits with me tonight.”
As captured by KhaoSod, the event had another dimension altogether: the tantalizing allure of lottery luck. Though Lapatsarada withheld any prophetic numbers herself, grave markers like 1/492 and 8/438 swiftly became the talk of the town, shared with a frenzy akin to a viral meme as hopeful jackpot seekers bombarded the web with their new-found numerological insights.
Reactions poured in across the digital landscape, a cocktail of praise and condemnation. Admirers lauded Lapatsarada for standing as a patriot, a sort of spectral superhero defending the nation. Critics, on the other hand, saw naught but madness, denouncing the ritual as “disrespectful” and, frankly, a “step too far.” Still, it is hard to ignore a narrative woven from threads of melodrama, mystical defiance, and potential fortunes foretold in a graveyard.
With tensions between Thailand and Cambodia simmering like the jungle’s midday heat, this event is a new episode in the saga not just shaped by diplomatic discontent but haunted by ghosts, curses, and fried chicken. The graveyard gambit has ensured that, at least for now, Lapatsarada etches her name in the annals of modern-day occult diplomacy—a curious chapter alive with spirits and pepperoni in the ongoing border debacle.
This whole séance thing sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Who takes fast food to a graveyard?
I think it’s hilarious and kind of genius. It got people’s attention, didn’t it?
True, but is it really effective or just disrespectful to the dead?
Maybe it’s not meant to be taken literally. It’s symbolic or performance art.
Lapatsarada is brave to stand up against corruption. It’s just sad she had to resort to such tactics.
Brave or reckless? There are better ways to protest than offending another country.
I get your point, but sometimes you need a shock factor to bring attention to serious issues.
Such events underscore the complex intersections between culture, superstition, and geopolitics.
This is bonkers! I’m all for national pride, but pizza and KFC with dead people? Come on.
It’s a creative way to mix modern life with traditional beliefs, don’t you think?
Creative, sure, but wildly inappropriate!
There’s no proof that spirits exist, let alone that they care about fast food offerings.
Honestly, who even believes in séances anymore? This is all for show.
A lot of cultures still hold these beliefs very seriously, including my own.
I can’t help but laugh. This is like a mix of Fast & Furious and The Exorcist.
I’d call this cultural appropriation at its worst. Doesn’t help any cause.
But isn’t Lapatsarada using elements of her own culture? How can it be appropriation?
Mixing pop culture with sacred traditions trivializes them.
Politics aside, this kind of gathering could be dangerous if there’s any actual rituals performed.
Come on folks, real or fake, it’s all harmless fun. Relax!
Tell that to the people she’s directly targeting.
Exactly. Actions have consequences, even if intended as harmless.
I think it’s a clever critique on how globalization consumes cultures, literally.
To me, this seems more like a prank gone too far.
What a waste of good pizza and chicken!
Why can’t people just practice their beliefs respectfully and quietly?
Love or hate the gesture, it’s a bold reminder that the world still dances with ancient beliefs amidst modernity.
