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.

Favourable

An encouraging stick: things are moving the right way if you stay attentive.

The verse

The cracked earth was waiting,the sky opens on the fields at last;each drop is a promisethat the dry days have passed.

Reading by area

  • Welcome income eases your accounts; use it for essentials first.

    This reading never replaces the advice of a doctor or health professional.

  • The pressure eases; a calmer outcome is taking shape.

The stick's advice

Accept help without pride, and pass it on to someone else later.

By custom

A favourable slip is kept: many take it home and place it near the household altar. Give thanks by sharing your good fortune with a gift or a kind act.

Confirm with the crescents (ไม้ปวย)

In Chinese shrines, two red wooden half-moons are thrown to see whether the answer is confirmed.

Majority reading from Thai guides; some temples have their own customs.
