A TikTok user posted a video warning others not to touch a glass globe at Wat Pha Son Kaew, Phetchabun province.

 

“Unexpected event at Wat Pha Sorn Kaew. Don’t accidentally touch the crystal ball like me, haha. (No drama, anyone who wants to try it out is welcome).”

 

The young man in the video showed his burnt sleeve, saying the crystal ball was sitting in the sun at Wat Pha Son Kaew which happened to be the focal point of the sun’s reflection. So much heat was gathered that the glass globe immediately burned the sleeve.

 

The man demonstrated the phenomenon a second time. It could be seen that after he put his arm near the ball for less than three seconds, smoke appeared, and the sleeve of the shirt was torn, reported Daily News.

Safety first Thailand.

For children, a dangerous attractive nuisance.

The globe needs to be isolated so as not to be touched if it is to remain in sunshine, otherwise move into a shady area or construct a sunblock over it.

"attractive nuisance" is a legal term that applies largely to children.
