Visitors Flock to Ruesi Nen Ashram for Rituals and Good Fortune

On September 15, 2026, the Ruesi Nen Ashram in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province saw a surge in visitors participating in traditional merit-making and vow-fulfillment rituals. According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the atmosphere was particularly lively as the date for the national lottery draw approached.

Among those present were two vendors from the Si Mum Muang Market in Pathum Thani, who returned to the ashram to offer boiled eggs to the statue of Pu Ruesi Phrommet. They stated that they were fulfilling a vow after experiencing success in their business and personal fortunes following a previous visit.

Beyond vow fulfillment, many tourists and locals visited the site to pay respects to various sacred figures, including the 16-meter-tall Thao Wessuwan, Ganesha, and the Kuman Thong Chao Sua Heng. Offerings brought by devotees included items such as pumpkins, red soda, toys, and bicycles.

For travelers and residents, this site serves as a cultural window into local spiritual practices and the significance of merit-making in Thai society. While the ashram remains a popular destination for those seeking spiritual guidance or luck, visitors should note that these activities are based on personal belief. It remains to be confirmed how these local traditions continue to evolve as the site gains further popularity among domestic tourists.
