Elderly Samut Prakan trader clears debts after land sale for over 10 million baht

[webfact]

 

A 65 year old merchant from Samut Prakan pulled out all the stops to repay her debts. She successfully managed to sell her land for more than 10 million baht after praying to a monk.

 

The money was subsequently donated to a temple. The community curiously questioned her age and other numerologies, hoping it would prove lucky for them too.

 

The woman, Worranuch Pinsak, found respite from her financial quandaries after selling her property which had been on the market for quite a while. The disposal occurred in quick succession following prayers to the monk ‘Luang Por Hamjan.’ Waranuch was relieved after being bogged down by debts and the pressures of her business spiralling downwards. The unforeseen sale allowed her to clear her financial obligations and save a portion of the proceeds for her old age, reported Sanook.

 

This delightful change of fortune is believed to be the outcome of a sacred image of Luang Por Hamjan that was given to her. She was advised to chant and pray for celestial assistance, in return for which she vowed to contribute a part of the sales proceeds to a temple and also commission a holy statue as an offering, should she successfully sell her land.

Mental. Could have reduced the price of the land by a few million and still be better off. IMO

She didn't "lose" anything, she donated some of the sale proceeds, voluntarily, after taking care of her own retirement.  That is fact, not my opinion.

Each to their own beliefs.

This is why land is ridiculously expensive in Thailand and sits unproductive for 10, 20+ years.

 

It's not that your price doesn't reflect the reality of the market, it's that you didn't pray to the right monk. Don't reduce the price, just do more praying and it will eventually sell.
