Thailand is known around the world as the Land of Smiles, but just as prevalent as the cheery grins is the widely-held belief in ghosts. Before taking your trip, here’s your chance to get to know the spooky side a little better.
Krasue
Once a beautiful woman who was burned to death, Krasue is cursed to be forever hungry and so sets off each night in search of blood and flesh. Living as a normal person by day, by nightfall the head detaches from the body into quite the frightful sight. A floating head with viscera dangling below, Krasue will dine on animals or faeces if she can’t find a pregnant lady or newborn baby, and will wipe her bloody mouth on clothes hanging outside — which is why Thais ensure not to leave things out overnight.
