Thailand's 'Child Angels'
Luk Thep or Child Angels are uncannily life-like dolls that have been blessed by Buddhist monks so that a wandering spirit is invited to inhabit them. They made world headlines after an airline ran a promotion offering to sell seats for the dolls to travel with their owners. Pinpaka Ngamsom from 麻豆社 Thai tells us that the dolls are believed to bring luck to their owners, many of whom lavish love and gifts on them.
