The atmosphere of tourism during the long holiday at Wat Sri Suphan, on Wualai Road, Chiang Mai Province, was lively with locals and tourists coming to pay homage and ask for blessings from the sacred object. While some people brought red garlands to make good on their vows after previously making vows and receiving what they had hoped for. In addition, people and tourists come to pray and many bring wallets or mobile phones to pass between the legs of the two Thao Wessuwan statues, believing that it will bring work calls and that the wallets will have money and gold. And there is also the sacred Ganesha statue, which took only 1 day to build.
