Such a letter to the newspaper could only have been written by someone who knows little of Thai culture. Thais have always believed in horoscopes and nothing an ignorant Farang can say will change that. Until recently (and maybe still?) even major government decisions were made only after consulting the stars and other auspicious indicators. To most Farangs including myself it is mere superstition, but it is real to the extent that Thais are influenced by it in their daily decisions.
