Faith brings luck as two women rush to fulfill vows to Ai Khai at Bueng Ba Temple, Father Grandfather, and Mother Grandmother after each winning 50,000 baht. Before leaving, they did not miss lighting incense and drawing auspicious threads, hoping to take “lucky numbers” for another lottery chance.
On 21 Jan 2026 GMT+7, reporters described the atmosphere at Bueng Ba Prapasawat Temple, Khlong Sip, Bueng Ba Subdistrict, Nong Suea District, Pathum Thani Province. Throughout the day, devotees both spiritual and merit-seeking came continuously to pay respects, pray, and fulfill vows. The most popular shrines were those of Thao Wessuwan, Ai Khai of Bueng Ba Temple, Father Grandfather Srisuttho, Mother Grandmother Sripathumma, and the Golden Takhian spirit—all renowned sacred figures widely mentioned on social media, drawing steady crowds.
Ms. Thitirath Khaola-or traveled from Wang Noi area, bringing a bicycle and offerings to perform her vow fulfillment ceremony before Ai Khai at Bueng Ba Temple after successfully receiving a three-month annual bonus as she had prayed for.
Ms. Thitirath explained that she had come to pray at the end of 2025 CE during her company's annual performance evaluation. Receiving such a bonus is not easy; it requires passing strict criteria and outstanding performance. When the company announced the results, she received the three-month bonus exactly as she had wished. She therefore returned to fulfill her vow and, before leaving, drew lottery ball number 527 to try her luck further.
Ms. Chanyaphat Prangthong came from Khlong Hok area, Thanyaburi District, Pathum Thani Province, bringing a Bai Sri ceremonial tray with a Naga motif and various auspicious fruits such as bananas, pineapples, pomelos, apples, coconuts, pears, cantaloupes, somsa oranges, and pomegranates to fulfill her vow before Father Grandfather Srisuttho and Mother Grandmother Sripathumma. She had won a large lottery prize exceeding 50,000 baht in the previous draw, and this was her first visit to Bueng Ba Temple to pray.
Ms. Chanyaphat said she had followed the temple’s sacred reputation on social media. Being spiritually inclined and fond of making merit, she decided to come and pray. She vowed that if she won a big prize, she would donate part of it to help build a large Luang Pu Thuat statue currently under construction at the temple. The result exceeded her expectations, as she received two consecutive fortunes on the same day. She believes this blessing comes from the merits of Father Grandfather Srisuttho, Mother Grandmother Sripathumma, and the Golden Takhian spirit, which deepened her faith greatly.
Today, she came to fulfill her vow and also contributed to the Luang Pu Thuat statue construction. Before leaving, she lit auspicious incense and got number 964, then drew lottery ball number 890 from the Golden Takhian spirit, hoping to try her luck twice more.
