Summary edit
| Description |
English: Lots of small cock figurs are placed under a Spirit House in a road curve, where other offerings are mainly red drinks. The text on figur bases says "gold money" (money gold) and "money rich" (rich money). I have asked around why cocks are offered, and got several explanations: for example Thai-men like cock-fights, so does Spirits; that they are thanks for a lucky number in lottery or any wish come true (may have to do with text "money"); and that cock-offerings expanded rapidly after a film and story (2007) about legendary King Naresuan (1555-1605) and a cock-fight he won over a prince of Burma.

Dansk: Masser af små hane figurer er placeret under et åndehus i et vejsving, hvor andre ofringer fortrinsvis er røde drikke. Teksten på figurernes base er "guldpenge" (penge guld) og "pengerig" (rig penge). Jeg spurgt omkring hvorfor haner er offergave, og fik flere forklaringer: fx. holder thai-mænd af hanekamp, ånder ligeså; at det er som tak for et lykkenummer til Lotto eller for et opfyldt ønske (kan have forbindelse til teksten "penge"); og at hane-ofringer ekspanderede voldsomt efter en film og historie om legendariske Kong Naresuan (1555-1605) og en hanekamp han vandt over en burmesisk prins.
