Those looking for Thai-style lottery luck know that means consulting with a tree (long story).
Now they won’t have to go into the deep dark forest to commune with a magic tree for hints about winning numbers: Just head to Thonglor, where a Japanese expat found his lottery luck by scratching a shopping mall tree.
A minor net celeb known for his Thai language passion, Isaka Tomoya yesterday shared the story of his unbelievable fortune in a recent lottery draw after he received divine inspiration from a tree at Donki Mall, the beating retail heart of the Japanese diaspora.
“Everybody, I’m a very lucky man. I’m blessed enough to stay in Thailand, but now I won a lottery here as well!” he wrote by hand in Thai. “Asking for the number from a tree really works, I love Thai culture even more!”
For those unaware of the phenomenon, deep strains of animism…
