In Thailand, it is a common belief that certain holy places or objects have the power to bring good luck and fortune, and this time it is a tree.

 

This particular tree scientifically known as a hairy keruing was swarmed by hundreds of locals in a small town of the Khon Buri district of Nakhon Ratchasima after a merchant in the area claimed that he had won a six-million-baht lottery prize after begging for good luck from this tree.

 

All types of typical Thai offerings, such as sweet food, red Fanta, flowers, incense, and three-colored fabric, were laid and tied around the trunk of the tree by those hoping to receive good luck and fortune.

Third world superstition.

But there are some who believe in some bloke, Ma was a Virgin, talked a lot, was executed but came back to life

 

I doubt that anyone is praying to that tree for assistance with erectile disfunction.

There is a residue of superstition in my Western European country......."some who believe".

 

However It is a fundamental base for living, for the large majority, in Thailand.

 

That is the huge difference.

 

 

Were sextoys not forbidden?? What is this than?? Gambling forbidden and a sextoy look......cut the tree
