Bangkok – An 8 year old Mai Li Fay, from Bangkok, is comfirm to be living us usual life of a girl her age being that she didn’t ask for it. Everyday, thousands of people gather to the front of her family’s apartmen to get a chance of seeing her and possibly touching the young girl’s reptile skin, a gesture or call it believe which both buddhists and hindu pilgrims seem to perceive as a garantee of good fortune.
In the words of the country’s top medical expert, Dr Ping Lao, the young girl suffers a very rare syndrome known as the Serpentosis Malianorcis or Jing Jing’s disease, which gives her lower body a distinct reptilian form and aspect. Only a handful of such cases have been recorded throughout history, so thescientific knowledge gathered about the pathology is rather limited and there is no cure in sight at the moment.
The Fay family have welcomed the situation brought by Mai Li’s situation with a mix of anguish and excitement, as the never ending lines of tourists and pilgrims have brought the badly impoverished family some substantial revenues and given them an important raise in their social status but cost them their privacy and intimacy.
