Miraculous Weather Shift During Sacred Ceremony in Samut Songkhram
A statue of Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse was installed at the Mae Klong police station, marked by a sudden clearing of rain that attendees viewed as auspicious.
On October 14, 2026, a significant cultural ceremony took place at the Mae Klong Police Station in Samut Songkhram province. A 1.70-meter-tall statue of Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, the Prince of Chumphon—revered by many Thais as 'Sadet Tia'—was installed on a pedestal in front of the station to serve as a spiritual focal point for officers and the local community.
The event, led by local police officials and religious figures, was marked by a notable weather phenomenon. According to reports from Khaosod Online, heavy rain had been falling consistently before the ceremony, raising concerns about the logistics of using a crane to lift the statue. However, at the auspicious time of 09:09, the rain abruptly ceased and sunlight appeared, an occurrence that many participants interpreted as a miraculous sign.
For residents and visitors, such events highlight the deep-rooted spiritual traditions that influence public life and local infrastructure in Thailand. While the ceremony proceeded as planned, the event also drew attention from local lottery enthusiasts who noted the license plate number of the crane used during the installation. As this was a religious and cultural installation, no further official updates are expected, though the site is now open for those wishing to pay their respects to the Prince.
