Rayong’s 'Hong Cave' Gains Attention Following Mobile Lottery Draw
Local visitors to Hong Cave in Rayong reported lottery success following the recent mobile government lottery draw held in the province.
On September 1, 2026, Khaosod Online reported a surge of interest in Hong Cave, located in Moo 10, Krachet Subdistrict, Rayong Province. The site, which has long been the subject of local folklore regarding mysterious sounds of bells and traditional Thai music, saw an influx of visitors hoping for good fortune during the government’s mobile lottery draw held in the province.
Following the announcement of the lottery results, several visitors claimed to have won prizes after performing rituals at the cave. One visitor, 72-year-old Sirirat, shared that she had photographed numbers appearing on incense sticks at the cave entrance. She sent the number '404' to her friends, who subsequently won prizes. While Sirirat herself did not purchase the winning combination, she expressed her continued faith in the site's perceived sanctity and plans to return for future visits.
For residents and travelers, the event highlights the enduring role of local spiritual beliefs in community life and tourism in Rayong. While the lottery results brought excitement to the area, the phenomenon remains a matter of local faith and personal experience. Whether the cave will continue to attract significant crowds or if the interest will subside remains to be seen.
