The number 12 symbolizes completeness for numerologists and 13 has a reputation of a prime number steeped with irregularity, further tarnished by 13 being the number of people at the Last Supper of Jesus and 13 people at a table is now feared to doom to death one of the guests.
Unlike the West Thais consider the number 4 unlucky, although you'll notice on Thai Air flights there is no row 13.
Personally I think 13's reputation comes from the age at which Jewish boys used to be circumcised and nothing is more unlucky for a man than losing your penis, unless you're a ka-toey.
Black Sabbath released their first album on Feb. 13, 1970.
The date had nothing to do with ladyboys.
