Superstitious locals noted the registration plate of the pikc-up truck carrying the workers who removed the nest - and chose the numbers for their lottery tickets. The nest was then taken to the local Buddhist temple in the Ban Thin district where monks said prayers for the nest and offered their own spiritual insights. Phra Sawangwaew said: ''This was once the home of a living creature so we will pray for their spirit to be well and pray that they can bring us good luck, too.''
