Bestselling Author Thanks Ayutthaya Shrine After Series Success
Novelist Laxurious.w, author of "Khom Khlang," visited a revered Ayutthaya shrine for the third time to thank the spirit Pu Ruesi Phrommet after the book's TV adaptation became an international hit. Hundreds of worshippers also gathered at the ashram to seek blessings and interpret lucky numbers from candle wax floating in a holy water basin.
The author of the bestselling novel "Khom Khlang," known by the pen name Laxurious.w, returned to the Ashram of Ruesi Netha Thathu Phutthakhun in Moo 4, Po Taeng subdistrict, Bang Sai district, Ayutthaya province, on November 14, 2026, to offer thanks to the sacred figure Pu Ruesi Phrommet following the worldwide success of the series adaptation. Accompanied by a group of fans, the writer performed the traditional rites of gratitude at the shrine, which features a 16-meter, nine-faced statue of Thao Wessuwan alongside shrines to Chao Mae Takhian, Phra Phikanet, Phra Sangkajjai, Luang Pho Mi, Tham Chindamani, and Kumarn Thong Chao Sua Heng. Devotees brought offerings including pumpkins, red water, sweets, toys, bicycles, and rice, placing them at the merit-making pavilion before the spirit's image. A focal point for visitors was the holy water basin in front of Pu Ruesi Phrommet, where candle wax droplets form clusters believed to reveal lucky lottery numbers; on this occasion, the numbers 56, 214, and 3 were widely observed. This was the author's third visit: the first to pray for a series adaptation, the second with cast and crew before broadcast to seek blessings for the show's success, and this final trip to fulfill a vow of thanksgiving.
