Buddhist followers crawl under an ancient wooden bed to bring them good luck.
The holy bed, which once belonged to King Taksin, is kept at the Wat Arun Ratchawararam temple in Bangkok, Thailand.
Footage shows the superstitious devotees scampering under the structure today (July 15). They believe that it will bring them good fortune and health.
One woman even combined her trip home from the shops with an afternoon worship and scampered under the bed with her hands full of shopping.
The teak wood bed is believed to date back to the 1700s when the King would use it to meditate. It has since been preserved at the historic temple on the Chao Phraya River.
Locals are taking the chance to visit the temple while it it quieter than normal due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic closing borders to tourists.
