Temple: Wat Bang Phra
Bless by: Luang Phor Sam Ang
The Thai Legend of Nang Kwak is highly revered as the Goddess of Wealth or Patron Saint of all Merchants. Nang Kwak is one of the best known legend in Thailand that dates back before Buddhism even reach Thailand. The hand of the charming Nang Kwak sometimes dubbed “Miss Inviting” is held up in beckoning gesture to call upon luck, fortune and wealth to come to the worshipper or merchant.
Nang Kwak brings wealth to the household and is particularly popular with shop/business owners. Dressed in traditional Thai costume. On her left hand is a money bag and her right hand is lifted up. She is either beckoning customers to come into the store or asking for wealth to come her way with her posture. She also wears a golden crown on her head and is in the sitting or kneeling position.
Today in Thailand, almost every shop or other place of business will have a statue of Nang Kwak and offerings of incense sticks,flowers, soft drinks, water and sweets will be made.
One should use 5 incense sticks and offer flowers, red syrup drink (known as “nam daeng” in Thai) or alternatively Fanta bottled drink. You may also include Red color lipstick, water, flowers, sweets, fruits and rice as offerings to Nang Kwak. Please be deligent in changing the water drinks and food offerings every morning when you open your shop for business. When you show your pampering devotion and love, she will return a favor by bestowing upon good sales and fortune to you.
