In the final stretch before the lottery draw, gamblers continue to watch the "lucky numbers" from Kham Chanod Island, observing Father Cham's holy water bowl and the donation totals, hoping for luck on 16 May 2026.
On 15 May 2026, reporters at Kham Chanod Island, the realm of the Naga King Phaya Naga, Father Pu Srisuttho, and Mother Ya Sripratum, at Non Muang village, Ban Muang subdistrict, Ban Dung district, Udon Thani province, reported that the island is open for tourists who come to pay respects to Father Pu and Mother Ya to pray for blessings and luck.
Upon arrival, tourists proceed to the queue point to enter the Naga King's palace gate, which is open for visitors to pay respects from 8:00 to 16:30, with a one-hour break at noon.
Currently, the number of tourists visiting Kham Chanod Island is somewhat thin, possibly due to several reasons such as high fuel prices and the poor economic situation. However, some tourists still come to pay respects and pray to Father Pu and Mother Ya. As the lottery draw date approaches, they search for numbers that catch their interest.
For those who enjoy gambling, they continue to follow the holy water bowl of Father Cham at Kham Chanod, used in a ritual at his home on the recent Buddhist holy day. Lottery fans see wax drops forming numbers 70, 07, 32, and 23. Meanwhile, donations at the Naga mouth remain popular for observation. As of the evening of 15 May 2026, six donation boxes totaled 1,630 baht, and the Naga mouth donation amounted to 23,350 baht, all hoping that Father Pu and Mother Ya will grant luck for the 16 May 2026 draw.
