Man's Eerie Gas Station Dream in Kanchanaburi Goes Viral

On July 31, 2026, a TikTok user @Look Market posted about a disturbing experience after sleeping at a PTT gas station in Kanchanaburi and having a bizarre dream. In the post, he described pulling over under a tree at the station before the M81 motorway entrance, sleeping for about an hour and a half around midnight. During his sleep, he dreamed that someone hired him to give them a ride for approximately 860 to 880 baht. He recalled telling them he could only take 2 passengers because his car was too small, but the moment he opened the door, 8 people mysteriously rushed in and sat down with eerie, unchanging smiles. The dreamer added that the passengers sat silently—3 in front (1 woman and 2 men) and 5 in the back—with every one of them grinning slightly and making no sound. After he drove back onto the motorway for about 5 kilometers, streetlights went out on two poles simultaneously, which frightened him further.

Following the post, commenters revealed that he was the third person to report the same type of dream at that location, with some mentioning they had even received lottery numbers and been advised to make merit. Local residents then shared historical context, explaining that the gas station is located in an area known as Ban Tung Samo, Ban Don Chedi, and Ban Nong Khao. This region was the site of the legendary Elephant Battle (Yodha Hatthi) between King Naresuan of Ayutthaya and the Burmese Crown Prince during the early-modern period, when Ayutthayan and Burmese soldiers clashed across a wide expanse that extends to where the gas station now stands. The area is home to three villages and contains the Don Chedi Monument dedicated to King Naresuan, a museum housing war weapons, swords, and ornaments related to war elephants, and a nearby monument that Naresuan built in honor of the Burmese Crown Prince, located about 500 meters from the Don Chedi Monument. Local belief holds that the spirits of fallen Ayutthayan and Burmese soldiers still linger in the area, waiting for their next rebirth. According to locals, the dreamer was fortunate to have encountered these soldier spirits in whatever form they appeared, and was considered blessed.
