It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

Then the victory is yours.

It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Nang Kwak Pha Yant.

Nang Kwak is a benevolent spirit. She is deemed to bring great luck and prosperity especially in the form of money, to the household. She is the patron deity of all merchants, salesmen and business men and women. Pictures, statues and Pha Yants can be seen in almost every business establishment in Thailand. 

The legend of Nang Kwak is one of the best known legends in Thailand and dates back to before the birth of Buddhism in Thailand. The legend of Nang Kwak originates from India where she was known as Supawadee, the daughter of a small merchant. Legend tells that occasionally Supawadee accompanied her father on his business trips. On one of these trips, after listening to a sermon, Supawadee became a devout follower of Buddhism. Because of her great devotion, a revered Monk by the name of Phra Gasabatera, bestowed blessings of good fortune on her. Phra Gasabatera also told her that if she followed all the teachings of the Dhamma (the teachings of the Lord Buddha), she would receive a special blessing.

Endowed with these blessings, whenever Supawadee accompanied her father on his trips, he was able to sell all his goods in a very short time. The family became very wealthy because of Supawadee and as her father was kind and generous, they were much loved by all the people they met on their travels. After her parents died, Supawadee continued the business earning the love and devotion of people all around. Eventually Supawadee died but not before many people had discovered that if they prayed to her their business transactions were more successful than before. Images were made of Supawadee after her death and offerings made to the young girl who was now believed to be a saint.

Nang Kwak is dressed in traditional Thai dress. In her left hand is a money bag and her right hand is beckoning Thai - style palm down. Nang Kwak is either beckoning customers to come into the store or asking for wealth to come her way.

It is also believed that Nang Kwak evolved from the Hindu Goddess Parvathi, the daughter of the mountains, who it was said the first to grow rice.

Some people believe Nang Kwak first appeared in Thailand as a rice prosperity goddess with a sheaf of rice over her shoulder the pre-Buddhist Mae Posop.

The name Nang Kwak can be roughly translated as ‘beckoning lady’ or ‘waving lady’. The Thais will often add the word ‘Mae’ which means ‘mother’ before her name as a sign of respect. There are regular stories in the Thai media of how paying devotion to this image has led to increased business prosperity.
