Lottery enthusiasts focus on "lucky numbers" from two Takian tree sisters beneath the Ping River in Kamphaeng Phet after they appeared in a medium's dream wanting to come ashore to accumulate merit. Locals hope these numbers will guide their lottery bets this round.
On 9 June 2026 at 09:09, at the Tiger Shrine beside the Ping River in Village No. 19, Ban Wang Mai, Kosamphi Subdistrict, Kosamphi Nakhon District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, over 50 locals and a spirit medium officiated a ritual to invite and open the eyes of two golden Takian mother trees. The medium named the elder sister: "Mae Umaphon" The younger sister was named "Mae Soithong"
The trees were brought up from the middle of the Ping River on 17 May 2026 after the two Takian mothers appeared in a medium's dream in Nakhon Sawan Province. Two women dressed in beautiful traditional Thai attire said they were the two Takian sisters currently residing in the Ping River near the Tiger Shrine landing in Village No. 19, Kosamphi Subdistrict, and wished to come ashore to create merit in this area.
Upon hearing this, villagers used a backhoe to pull the two golden Takian trees from the river near the shrine as foretold by the medium, naming the two sister trees: "Mae Umaphon" the elder, measuring 11 meters 89 centimeters long, and "Mae Soithong" the younger, measuring 6 meters 31 centimeters long. They were placed on a large wooden platform, where locals gathered to light 16 incense sticks and pray for luck from the two Takian mothers. They also tied three-colored cloth and offered beautiful traditional Thai dresses to both trees.
At the appropriate time, the medium and officiants conducted a ritual inviting the sacred deities of heaven and earth, offering prepared offerings while lighting incense and candles. They called upon the two Takian mothers to reside at this sacred place to serve as a spiritual refuge for the local community and prayed for them to grant fortune to those attending this holy ceremony.
Afterward, the medium exhibited unusual behavior, rising to speak with laughter, saying, "Today is a good and auspicious day, dear children... very happy!" Then, holding a betel nut tray, the medium approached the two Takian trees with trembling movements and sometimes tears, which villagers interpreted as the two Takian sisters expressing joy at being brought from the water and enshrined at this sacred site near the Tiger Shrine, a place honored by locals for over 80 years.
Following this, some participants displayed unusual reactions—dancing with raised arms, swaying in various manners, some crying and laughing, others dancing in front of the Takian trees while saying, "Beautiful, so beautiful indeed!"
The medium then lit incense for divination at the incense burner. When the incense burned out, the numbers 2 5 0 appeared, which villagers photographed to use as lottery number suggestions for the upcoming draw.
The holy water bowl used by the medium during the ritual also attracted attention from attendees, who speculated on its significance in various ways.
Meanwhile, during the ceremony, 1,000 firecrackers were lit for divination. At the end of the firecrackers, two tail numbers appeared (instead of the usual single one): 363 and 57 on one tail, and 248 and 65 on the other. Locals photographed these numbers to use for lottery bets in the upcoming draw, believing the two golden Takian sisters would bring them luck. They plan to use any winnings to build a shelter for the two Takian mother trees.
