00:00In Thailand, there is an ancient belief that people wearing amulets should avoid walking under closed lights to prevent misfortune.
00:08According to this belief, those who wear amulets or undergo sakyan, or Thai sacred tattooing, should not pass beneath closed lights where clothes are hung.
00:17It is said that doing so might diminish the amulet's power and invite bad luck, especially if a sarong, a traditional Thai cloth, is present.
00:26Some suggest that this belief originated as a way to remind people in religious roles, particularly monks in the past, to remain mindful of their actions.
00:36The practice was seen as a tool to promote awareness and discipline.
00:40In modern times, however, many religious figures argue that good or bad fortune is determined by one's actions rather than walking under a closed light.
