And You Think Only Rappers Are Obsessed With Sexuality

Tucked away in a Phuket, Phra Nang beach, there is a cave that fishermen like to visit and leave offerings such as fruits, flowers and above all phallus symbols (Phalad Khik). The legend has it that it is the home of a mystical sea princess who can grant you success, wealth and fertility. But the phallus symbol is also used in restaurants and shops shrines too. What does that mean? A phallus is usually associated with fertility, but as you can see, many businesses has great belief in it to bring them wealth more than fertility. Some phallus amulets are encrypted with spells/mantra. Find it weird? Well, that's Thailand for ya!
