Whispers at Laem Tan Intersection
Whispers at Laem Tan Intersection. If you’ve ever been to Laem Tan Intersection in Thailand, you’d know it’s a busy place where traffic rarely stops.
But for me, it’s home. And one day, something happened—something real and terrifying—right outside my front door.
This isn’t a story I made up to scare you. It really happened, and it shook the entire neighborhood.
Whispers at Laem Tan Intersection
One morning, a woman’s lifeless body was found hanging under the eaves of a small coffee shop near our house.
The street was flooded with police cars and rescue trucks. It was a huge scene. I didn’t know the woman, and thankfully, I never saw her spirit.
Honestly, if I had, I don’t think I could keep living here. Just opening our front door, you could see the crime scene.
Later, someone told my mother a story. This person claimed to have a sixth sense. They hadn’t known anything about the incident, but they said a ghost appeared to them—a woman wearing a white shirt and green shorts—pleading for help.
She said she wasn’t a suicide. She had been raped in the forest across from the coffee shop. She died there, and her body was hanged afterward to cover it up. She said she was in agony and just wanted justice.
The Story
There’s another encounter too. A woman who sold curry rice nearby was pushing her cart at about 5 a.m. when she saw someone walking back and forth in front of the coffee shop.
At first, she thought it was just a drunk woman—holding a beer bottle, staggering like she’d had too much to drink. But this happened three times, always around the same time in the morning.
The woman was always wearing the same outfit: a white shirt and green shorts. Eventually, she told a friend about it. The friend replied, “That wasn’t a person. That was the ghost.
She died four or five days ago. You passed right by the tree where she was hanged.” After that, the curry vendor never took that route again. She chose a longer path just to avoid passing that spot.
I later heard that the woman who died was not Thai—perhaps Burmese. The police eventually caught a group of local teenagers responsible for the crime.
As for the coffee shop? It shut down completely. They dismantled everything and left. And this isn’t the only dark tale from our intersection.
Laem Tan is infamous for traffic accidents. Many people have died right there—from instant collisions or later at the hospital.
Even our house has been hit by a car. Thankfully, no one in my family was hurt. People say they’ve seen ghosts around here all the time. But I never have.
Maybe it’s because I always make offerings and pray that they don’t show themselves to me.
Are Ghosts Real?
I want to remind everyone to take this story with an open mind. The murder truly happened. Whether ghosts are real—I’ll let you decide. I’ve only heard these stories from others who experienced them firsthand.
