As Thais, we often believe that carrying around blessed objects such as amulets can bring luck into our lives. Even though we can’t say for sure if it truly works, there’s nothing wrong about believing in a higher power as long as we’re happy.
We hope that the student scores well for her exam, and if she does, maybe we will do the same too, when we have an important meeting or interview.
