The Giant Trees
1.Today I would like to show you these not extra –ordinary trees which Thais pay respect to. They strongly believe that there is luck brought by these giant trees.
Four days ago while on our way home from Big C, the Thai teacher, our driver decided to bring us (my hubby, me, Tina ,Maem and Baby Om) to a nearby temple in Srakeao where these dead giant trees were awaiting luck-hunters.

This old tree was believed to be 3,334 years old. This sleeping log was brought to the temple as it was relayed from mouth to mouth that an old monk dreamt that this old tree should be placed near that temple. As time goes by, Thais came to pay respect, do dancing, pray and offer goods for them to be lucky.
2 . The Big Jars
.This big jar beside the tree is like the wishing well. Thais believe that lucky people could see numbers-perfect numbers for lottery. I did not see any number even though how much I tried . In every corner were the lame people selling lotteries. One man was calling for me to buy his ticket but I wasn’t sure. I liked to win but I did not see any number in the jar. I might ask my hubby about it. There he was busy taking pictures. I walked towards my husband pretended not to see the man waving at me to buy his tickets.
