00:00In Thai belief, women singing while eating is discouraged because it might lead them
00:05to have an old husband.
00:06Thai women, especially as children, are told not to sing while eating.
00:11If they do, it could result in having an old lover in the future.
00:15In fact, singing while in the kitchen or cooking is also discouraged in Thai tradition.
00:20Some theories suggest that the real reason behind this superstition is that it is just
00:25a clever tactic used by elders to prevent choking.
