Während meiner zahlreichen Reisen ins «Land des Lächelns», nach Thailand, erlebte ich viele Dinge, die vorsichtig ausgedrückt, nicht alltäglich sind. Ja, sie sind für unsere Begriffe geheimnisvoll, phantastisch und teilweise sogar nahezu unglaublich und umstritten. Manches erlebte auch zusammen mit meinen Freund und Kollegen Wilfried Stevens aus Düsseldorf, der wie ich ebenfalls mit einer Thailänderin verheiratet ist. Nicht immer ist alles auch wissenschaftlich nachprüfbar, und oft entziehen sich die Dinge scheinbar auch unserem nüchternen und logischen Menschenverstand.

Und so möchte ich all diese Dinge hier vorstellen ohne dabei aber ein abschließendes Werturteil abzugeben. Man kann sie glauben – oder aber nicht. Fakt ist, dass es existiert, das «Geheimnisvolle Thailand». Und schon von William Shakespeare stammt der Ausspruch: «Es gibt mehr Dinge zwischen Himmel und Erde, als sich eure Schulweisheit träumen lässt.»

Dabei konnte ich auf viele mündliche Überlieferungen und persönliche Erlebnisse sowie Erfahrungen und Gespräche mit Thais zurückgreifen konnte. Eine große Hilfe waren auch die Diskussionen und Gespräche mit meinen Freund Wilfried Stevens, der Land, Kultur und Religion weitaus besser kennt als ich. Zudem hat er fundierte Kenntnisse über das Altertum Thailands, seinen Mythen und Sagen sowie über den Spiritismus der Thailänder. Dieses Buch kann naturgemäß keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit aller Merkwürdigkeiten des Geheimnisvollen erheben. Es soll ein kleiner Anfang sein und neugierig machen.

Axel Ertelt hatte mich einige Tage vor seinem Tod († 2. Februar 2023) gebeten, sein überarbeitetes Manuskript zu «Mein geheimnisvolles Thailand – Phänomene und Phantastisches» irgendwann mal zu veröffentlichen. Nun ist es soweit.
