At the Elephant Shrine tucked beneath a centuries‑old Son Dok tree along the Mae Phuong canal in Ban Phamup village, locals recount the legend that a stone elephant formed when King Chiang Saen’s animal turned to rock after failing to leave the water in time. Villagers believe the shrine brings regular luck, and they regularly offer bak mu lau, bananas, and sugarcane—foods said to be the elephant’s favorite. Nang Jittima Siwadamrong, a 62‑year‑old who has already won two lottery draws in a row, returned with offerings after spotting the lucky number 829 on incense sticks and the shrine’s posted number 536, saying she hopes to win a third straight draw on October 1, 2069. If that happens, the community plans to hold a grand traditional dance performance to thank the shrine.
