If the Thai Airways ghost and suicides don’t officially make Suvarnabhumi the most haunted airport in the world, maybe this story will convince you.
Superstitious speculation has been happening online about the possible haunting of a Honda which has been parked in the airport’s lot for so long that it’s covered in dust. So many spooky theories have been floated online, that the airport director herself has been forced to explain the shocking truth behind the horror tale.
As all good things do, the discussion started on Pantip when a user snapped and shared a photo of the car, which locals and commuters have obviously decked out with flower garlands and joss sticks dipped in Red Fanta, the red-colored drink Thais believe to be spirits’ favorites.
Some netizens claim the car license plate contains lucky digits which have helped airport staff win the lottery many times – which would explain the Fanta. Others believe the car’s owner died while traveling abroad, leaving the forsaken to rot where it was left.
Yesterday Suvarnabhumi Airport Director revealed to Khaosod that the car belongs to Udomdech Transport, a car rental service in Pattaya. A Pakistani tourist rented this car in March 2012 and never returned it to the company. He probably misunderstood that he paid for the airport pick-up and left the car at Suvarnabhumi parking lot to become another object of Thai superstition.
So what’s the shocking part, you ask? Apparently Udomdech Transport has consulted with the authorities to retrieve the car, but the parking fees have now accumulated to over THB120,000. That’s a lot of baht for a sad-looking and possibly poltergeisted ride.
The car company’s request for exemption from the fee is being considered, while the airport director would neither confirm nor deny it’s supernatural status, Khaosod reported.
