Good fortune in bad times.
Byline: Sujintana Hemtasilpa
Jan. 2--Tougher economic times mean big business for fortune tellers, as people face an uncertain future.
In the run-up to the New Year, Natthachai Leethananchai, director of Number Five Astrologer Institute at Imperial World in the Lad Phrao area, says he has seen a rise in client numbers.
"The 2006 economy seems to be a bit more slack than in 2005, so we can expect more clients," said Mr Natthachai.
Economic conditions have a certain level of influence over people's psychological condition. Economic uncertainty makes people feel insecure and anxious about their future, and that could prompt more people to seek advice from fortune tellers, he said.
