Thai woman prays for a good husband

In Thai culture, we believe that the holy entities can help make our wishes come true.

Once our wishes are fulfilled, we have to repay them with offerings, such as performing a Thai traditional folk dance in exchange.

While the holy entities help most people find fulfillment in their wishes, they sometimes also offer plot twists that work out in the individual’s favour.

To exemplify, here’s the story of a Thai woman in Udon Thani who prayed for a good husband, but won the lottery worth ~฿100K (~USD3,007) instead.
