Well, locals in Kanchanaburi Province certainly have an interesting way of summoning rain as El Niño limits rainfall in agricultural communities… The solution? Have a ritual with a giant, 600 KG wooden penis. 45 year old Thai man, Khun Manote, explained to Channel 3 that the majority of locals in the area rely on agricultural activities to make a living and that the lack of rain has been causing difficulties for them. He explained that they had to perform the ritual to request rainfall…

“We wanted the Devas in heaven to pay attention to us and realised that we needed rain, so we crafted the huge wooden penis to make the Devas clearly notice it.”

You can watch the full video here and crazy enough… it DID rain after the ritual so who knows, maybe they’re on to something! Only in Thailand 🇹🇭
