How it is done at the temple

The steps most often described in Thai guides. Each temple may have its own customs: follow the guidance on site.

  1. Pay respect before the sacred image, light incense if the temple offers it and make an offering within your means.
  2. Kneel, hold the cup with both hands and silently say your name, then one clear question.
  3. Tilt the cup slightly and shake it gently until a single stick falls; if two fall, put them back and start again.
  4. Read the number and take the matching slip, often kept in a cabinet of numbered drawers.
  5. In Chinese shrines, throw the red crescents to confirm the answer.
  6. Keep a favourable slip; leave an unfavourable one at the temple.
