Sanook - part of the Thai media obsessed by strange occurrences signalling lottery wins - had not one but two stories today.

 

In the first they went to see a woman called Darunee, 51, who has 15 rai of land given to her by her parents for mixed agricultural use in Ban Non Simma, Udon Thani, NE Thailand.

 

She had planted a certain species of coconut tree - 80 in all - and one of them was growing in the shape of Phayanak - known in English as the King of the Nagas.

 

The body and head of the legendary creature were clear in the branches and other parts of the plant and the locals had already won on the lottery twice after divining the numbers.

 

In fact her own daughter had won 200,000 baht with the number 53. 

 

Darunee said she was a strong believer in this kind of thing what with living in a place regarded as sacred. 

 

So she was giving the spirits lots of drinks and lighting plenty of joss-sticks not wanting to miss out for a third time. 

 

She divined the number 849 though her favorites were 57 and 15.

 

She also spoke of a dream she had of a snake entering her garden accompanied by a throng of dancers. 

 

This all added up to lottery riches for the next draw due on Monday, August 1st. 

 

If coconut trees looking like Nagas are not your thing then Sanook had an alternative. 

 

This was in Yang sub-district of Surin, also NE Thailand, where a huge turtle wandered into the home of Muang, 77, while his wife Samphao, 70, was out.

It got trapped in a cement pond while eating morning glory. Locals came to put powder on it and divined the numbers 2 and 7.

 

The turtle weighed 11 kilos and 7 "kheet" (700 grams).

 

But more was to come. 

 

He then had a dream about a lottery seller only selling tickets with the numbers 15 and 18 so in the morning he got his younger relative to race off and buy those numbers.

 

Then amazingly more locals arrived with more powder and divined 15, 18 and 27.

 

Take your pick and good luck on Monday, ASEAN NOW wishes our readers.
