ANGEL DOLL FRIENDLY BUSINESSES
It has been a frenzied week for the dolls, their parents, and observers in the general non-doll owning public.
Though the phenomenon of the angel doll took off last year, last week after airlines gave permission to purchase seats for dolls, scores of restaurants and hospitality businesses followed suit and promoted themselves as angel doll-friendly.
Tutorial schools and nurseries even began offering private sessions for those owners seeking to invest in their doll's education and future.
On Monday, a monk in Nonthaburi was photographed while performing a mass blessing of the dolls, sprinkling them with holy water and allegedly putting sacred spirits in them.
Feeding the dolls, teaching the dolls, treating the dolls as children -- some say it is just a new belief on par with other beliefs that people have, others see something more sinister, a sign of psychological despair that perhaps indicates mental health issues that need to be dealt with urgently.
