Bangkok - Wat Mahabut - Mae Nak


This temple is famous for Mae Na.  Lots of devotees had their wishes granted hence the fame.

Local's story claims that Mae Na passed away during her birth while her husband was at war.  
Villagers was able to see both her and the baby spirits as she refused to leave and wanted to be 
with her husband and despite numerous monks who tried to reincarnate her but 
without success. Finally Somdej Toh came and chanted Chinabunchorn katha to reincarnate her.

I think I've seen this movie before, very touching and I thought it was just a movie; neverrealised 
that it was a true story.

You can take BTS to On Nut station. Follow Sukhumvit Soi 77 to On Nut Soi 7 and the temple is 
at the end of the road 

Address: Sukhumvit Soi 77, On Nut Soi 7 Bangkok, Thailand




Recommendation ***














Offerings to Mae Na


A tree where you can "search" for your lucky numbers...many devotees won and
came back to donate




A guy at "work" trying to "see" some numbers

Can you? I saw 835


Many stalls that sells livestocks for release back into the river for merits



"Klong" a Kumaree kept by the stalls vendors

Day of birth to determine how many fishes to release


Mine was 9 fishes with merits dedicated to my new boy from LP Hong
