flew to Bangkok to thank the Four-Faced Buddha at the Erawan Shrine for granting a wish he had made a while back.Soh Choon Heng, who's now living in Thailand, Richard also hired 52 Thai dancers to perform a ceremonial dance ritual.When asked why 52 dancers, Richard said his lucky number is 26. He shared that he once won money at a Roulette game in an overseas casino by betting on that number.
The wish he had made to the Four-Faced Buddha in Bangkok actually came true for the second time so he decided to double the number of dancers.According to the actor, now that he's getting old, he wished that he wouldn't fall into the"Moonlight Clan", a term to describe people who expend their entire salary before the end of each month.
Richard said since he made that wish, he started doing better in his career and his finances have improved too."I'm already in my 70s. To be able to find stability at this age is something every elderly person would wish for," he said. Richard said the wish already came true in 2019 and he had planned to go to Bangkok to do the ceremony. Then the pandemic hit.All he asked for is his family to be healthy, which he feels doesn't count as a wish.
And since his previous wish already came true, he didn't think it would be appropriate to ask for more.By clicking subscribe, I agree for my personal data to be used to send me TODAY newsletters, promotional offers and for research and analysis.We know it's a hassle to switch browsers but we want your experience with TODAY to be fast, secure and the best it can possibly be.
