How to Pay Respect to King Rama V According to Your Birth Day for Career, Blessings, and Prosperity at Year-End

Paying respect to King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), also called "Phra Piya Maharaj," is highly auspicious for career, popularity, and prosperity, especially at the year-end.

1. Recommended days and times for worship

  • Auspicious days to worship are Tuesday (the King's birthday) or Thursday (Teacher's Day).
  • The best times are in the morning or at 20:39 (an auspicious number).
  • Locations include temples with his statue (such as Wat Benchamabophit, Wat Rajabopit), the equestrian statue plaza, or a home altar.

2. Offerings and worship items (general)

1. Incense: 16 sticks for the first outdoor worship, or 5 or 9 sticks at home.

2. Candles: one pair, with colors matching your birth day to enhance luck.

3. Flowers: pink roses (the favorite and Tuesday’s color) or jasmine flowers.

4. Drinks: young coconut water, black coffee (no sugar), or plain water.

5. Food, fruit, vetiver grass, cigars or cigarettes, and brandy (his favorite in the past).

3. Worship tips "according to your birth day"

There is no special daily chant for worshipping Rama V, but it is recommended to use flower colors and request blessings according to your birth day for easier fulfillment.

People born on Sunday

Use red or pink roses and request power, prestige, and promotion.

People born on Monday

Use jasmine or white roses and ask for kindness, popularity, and affection from others.

People born on Tuesday

Use deep pink roses and request victory and overcoming difficult obstacles.

People born on Wednesday

Use pink needle flowers or betel leaves and ask for success in negotiations, commerce, and intelligence.

People born on Thursday

Use golden yellow marigolds and request stability in life and good fortune.

People born on Friday

Use light pink roses and request enduring love and family happiness.

People born on Saturday

Use purple orchids and ask for health and protection from legal troubles or enemies.

4. Worship chant (applicable for all birth days)

Recite the Namo three times.

The spirit worship chant (Luang’s chant):

"Phra Sayamamintho Waro Iti Buddhasangmi Iti Arahung Sahassakayang Warang Puttho Namo Buddhaya Piya Mama Namo Buddhaya"

(Recite three times)

I humbly invoke the dust of His Majesty’s feet. I am... (state your full name)... I respectfully invite His Majesty’s grace to protect and bless me with... (state your most important wish)...

Precautions and virtuous offerings

Honesty: King Rama V favored honest people. Your wishes will come true more quickly if you commit to doing what is right.
