In Thai belief, if you hear someone calling you at night, you are advised not to answer
00:05
if it might be something superstitious.
00:07
Thai children are normally told not to answer if the call might come from a ghost or spirit.
00:13
Answering those sounds might be considered an invitation for them to enter your residence,
00:18
according to certain Thai traditional beliefs, or you might be followed by that spirit if
00:23
you answer.
00:24
But more logical theories suggest that it is just a way to teach children not to follow
00:29
strangers when called.
00:30
This also helps children be more mindful, especially at night.
00:34
This is also a unique aspect of Thai culture filled with interesting beliefs that you won't
00:39
hear elsewhere.
