00:00If you ever see a coin or a one-bot coin specifically on the ground in Thailand,
00:05don't pick it up. It might bring you bad luck or someone might follow you home.
00:11In reality, this superstition might stem from a ritual.
00:14These coins are often part of a ceremony during a funeral procession.
00:19The family scatters coins along the route as a way to buy the path for the deceased,
00:24asking wandering spirits to clear the way and ensure
00:27their loved one's soul reaches its destination safely.
00:31The ritual begins from the place the body is taken and continues
00:34all the way to the final destination, often a temple or the deceased's hometown.
00:40So next time you find a one-bot coin on the ground in Thailand, don't pick it up.
00:44It might belong to a wandering spirit who's trying to find their way into the light.
