Which days are unlucky?

I talked before about lucky coloured clothes for each day of the week. Well, Thai people have more superstitions about each day.

If you were born on a….
…Sunday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Friday.
…Monday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Sunday.
…Tuesday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Monday.
…Wednesday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Tuesday.
…Thursday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Saturday.
…Friday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Wednesday.
…Saturday, don’t do anything auspicious on a Wednesday in the middle of the night!

Start Building a New House
Like anything else in Thai society, there are auspicious days for starting to build a house.

Good days: Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
Bad days: Sundays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays

Ceremony for a New House
When Thai people have built a new house, they usually invite some monks to bless the house. However, there are certain days when you can do this:

Good days: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
Bad Days: Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Forbidden Days
* Don’t do anything special or auspicious on Tuesdays (like wedding, new house ceremony etc.). If you do it there will be bad consequences
* On Wednesdays, don’t make merit in your house or have a new hair style cut
* Don’t have a funeral on Fridays because the word for Friday in Thai, “sook”, sounds like the same word for “happy”
