Land Sale Finally Succeeds After Prayer to Luang Por Somwang; Lottery Players Strike Lucky Numbers
A Chai Nat landowner finally sold a property he couldn't shift for years after seeking blessings from the revered Luang Por Somwang statue in Nakhon Pathom, then donated 999 eggs and offerings to the temple in gratitude.
A landowner from Chai Nat province who had been unable to sell a one-rai property for years sought blessings from the revered Luang Por Somwang statue at Wat Klang Bang Phra in Nakhon Pathom. After placing a land deed beneath a replica statue and making a vow in February 2569, the property sold within two months at a good profit. The grateful owner, named Sarawut (surname withheld), then fulfilled his promise by bringing 999 chicken eggs, a pair of clay chicken statues, and three garlands to make merit offerings in May. Sarawut claimed he randomly selected lottery numbers 1, 6, and 7 from the eggs before leaving, planning to donate any winnings back to the temple's charitable programs. The donated items will be distributed to underprivileged families through the temple's welfare initiatives. Luang Por Somwang is a sacred Buddha image depicting the subjugation of Mara, standing over 30 meters tall and revered by both Thai and foreign devotees.
