00:00When you hop on a taxi in Thailand, have you ever noticed a small white power dot
00:04inside the car or seen similar marks outside the Thai people's home? Here's what they mean.
00:10And why do Thai people bless their cars or homes? In Thailand, many people bless their cars and
00:15houses to bring good luck and protection. A Buddhist monk or an elder performs the ceremony
00:21by marking a car with sacred paste, sprinkling holy water, and placing a flower garland on it.
00:27People believe it helps keep drivers and the living safe. And is it necessary or illegal?
00:33Of course not. While a house and a week old, blessings are not legally required
00:37and do not affect on how they function, the tradition remains important to many Thais.
