Sak Yant, also called sacred tattoo, magic tattoo, Buddha tattoo or holy tattoo is very popular in Thailand and is mentioned to protect against ghosts, evil and makes invulnerable against knives and gun bullets.
As a few days ago our friend, the young Akha Hill Tribe
Thai boy Bon came to visit us and showed us his new tattoo. What the hell is that, we asked him.
An Anti Mosquito Sak Yant, he answered with a big smile.
Yes, I said, it looks like a mosquito coil, does it help against mosquito bites ?
Not sure, answered Bon.

At the first view the tattoo looked like it is made from small letters, like they´re used in Sak Yant, but if You look closely, You`ll see it´s a fake. A sacred tattoo against mosquito bites, never heard something crazy like that. Bon solved it with a big laughter, it´s just a joke and again funster Bon fooled us.
He is for sure one of the most Ting Tong (crazy) boys we know.
