Chachoengsao –
Local villagers in the Yothaka Subdistrict of Chachoengsao province on Wednesday, June 9th, built an enormous phallus on the road as a part of a local rain-making ceremony.
The giant penis-shaped amulet, or “Palad Khik” in Thai, was molded and installed before local farmers began praying for more rain for their crops and for better water quality in the neighborhood as they were concerned that the supplied water on the canals was too salty.
According to local village chief Chamnan Kenthongdaeng, the ceremony is done annually as a part of their superstitious belief. A similar ritual had also been performed last year and rainfall occurred in a pleasant amount throughout the rainy season.
“The temporary structure would not cause any traffic jams as it was built on a dead-end road. It would be removed as soon as the seasonal rain comes,” the chief added.
Meanwhile, local residents are allowed to come to pray to the phallus and making offerings.
