Kam Chanod Overflows with Tourists During New Year Celebrations

Bangkok: Kam Chanod was almost overflowing with tourists flocking to pay respects to Pu Sri Suttho. The atmosphere at Kham Chanod was lively, with a large number of tourists visiting to pay respects to Pu Sri Suttho and Ya Prathumma to ask for blessings for the new year. Traffic was backed up for over 1 kilometer, and queues formed on the bridge leading to the island for worship. A highlight that lottery enthusiasts can't miss is the numbers on the Naga's mouth in the holy water bowl from the grand blessing ceremony.

According to Thai News Agency, reporters visited Koh Kham Chanod, Non Mueang Village, Moo 11, Ban Mueang Subdistrict, Ban Dung District, Udon Thani Province, on January 1, 2026. The influx of tourists throughout the day caused a traffic jam stretching over 1 kilometer on the road leading to the island. Meanwhile, at the bridge leading to Koh Kham Chanod, tourists queued to pay respects to Pu Sri Suttho and Ya Prathumma. Officials organized the queues, allowing two lines to enter the island and one line to exit.

The lottery stalls were extremely busy, with the most popular and best-selling number being 350, referring to the number representing the 350 hill where Thai soldiers had seized territory. This number sold out completely.

The lucky numbers from Kham Chanod that lottery enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating are those from the holy water bowl during the grand blessing ceremony: 279 and 276, and the numbers from the holy water bowl of the Brahmin priest, Chawakarn Khamwansa: 907 and 607.
