Why do some Thai men grow their fingernails? I am not talking about just a little longer some Thai men grow one of their fingernails really long. I have seen this done on the pinky finger a lot. Why is that?

I wonder if it is simply a variation on why some Thai men paint just one fingernail, possibly on each hand.
First off, there is a statistically higher number of deaths of seemingly healthy young Thai men in their sleep than in many other places.
Some think it's just a genetic abbheration....but (of course

)...many Thais believe that this is because the "spirits" of unattached female ghosts seeking mates "take" the Thai men in their sleep, living their lifeless corpse in "our world".
So many Thai men try to "fake out" the female spirits by painting a nail; then the female spirit will mistake them as a another female and spare them...
...those dumb motherfucker!
Only a Thai could see a man with one painted fingernail and think it could possibly be a female. No wonder there are so many bloody ladyboys in Thailand!!
