The Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Hungry ghosts also known as Pret is the name for a type of the supernatural being in Buddhist beliefs that when someone who were particularly selfish, jealous, and deceitful in their last life. After death, by a result of karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger but are not able to eat

Pret in Thai media frequently described as being abnormally tall, small mouths, giant hands and feet. and believed to happen to those who have hit and scolded their parents However, this is just one kind of Prets

In this collection I select the description of Hungry ghosts Based on Three Worlds According to King Ruang (ไตรภูมิพระร่วง), Basket of Discourses (พระสุตตันตปิฎก) and other tales. and turn into something more approachable because I want to explore the things that always make people scary but actually fun to knows with.

เวลาพูดถึงเปรตเราจะนึกภาพผีปากเท่ารูเข็ม ซึ่งจริงๆเป็นแค่หนึ่งในเปรตจำนวนมากที่ถูกเล่าในไตรภูมิพระร่วง หรือ พระสุตตันตปิฎก แมวสองขาเลยถือโอกาสยกเปรตที่คิดว่ามีเรื่องราวกับวิชวลน่าสนใจมาวาดเป็นคอลเลกชั่นนี้

The Realm of Hungry Ghosts : Pappat-ankha Pret (ปัพพตังคเปรต)

'Pappat' in Sanskrit language means mountain and 'Ankha' means body.
When combine it together Pappat-ankha Pret mean Hungy ghost that have a body big as mountain

And in the description, this hungry ghost also has prickle all over their body, Fingernail and toenail are long and sharp like a knife and more than that when its prickle bounce together will create a loud noise like thunder and set the fire to burn its body!

ปพฺพต = ภูเขา + อังคะ =ตัว/อวัยวะ สมาสเป็นปัพพตังคะ แปลว่า ตัวเท่าภูเขา
นอกจากตัวจะเท่าภูเขา เปรตตัวนี้มีขนแหลมทั้งตัว และเล็บมือเท้าคมเหมือนหอกดาบ จนถ้ามากระทบกันจะเกิดเสียงดังเหมือนฟ้าผ่า และตามจากเสียงคือไฟที่ลุกทั้งตัว!

The Realm of Hungry Ghosts - Rice hulls Pret (เปรตกอบแกลบ)

ภุสเปตวัตถุ(เปรตกอบแกลบ) - The story of snaky merchant who mix laterite with rice to cheat on the scales. For this reason, in the afterlife he becomes the hungry ghost that need to pick up burning rice hulls and pour in to his head for eternity.

The Realm of Hungry Ghosts - The golden Pret

Hungry ghost isn’t always looking uncanny or gruesome sometime they turn out to have a golden body or even have their own sanctuary. But in the end, they still have a feature that come from their karma in past live – become hungry ghost.

As told in 'สูกรมุขเปตวัตถุ' or the tale of pig looking hungry ghost
It has the golden body that shiny like no one had ever seen it before. But end up have a face that look like a pig. The story told us that he happens to be calm and composed person but always bad-mouthing everyone else.

And also in 'กูฏวินิจฉยีกเปตวัตถุ'
This hungry ghost also has a good looking but it use its nail to Pecks his back to eat as food
as a result of he always stab someone in the back to gain an advantage to himself.
