But this week’s crowd, mainly young people of all genders, was larger than usual as the timing also coincided with an auspicious alignment of the stars. “I came here often and got a lover before, but we broke up, so I’m here to ask for a new one,” said Thanyathron Sae-aeng, 23.Image Credit: Reuters

“It will be great if I can find love before Valentine’s Day, but if not, it’s also fine,” said 25-year-old Suthida Panlalak, who said she sought a truthful partner who could love her the way she is.Image Credit: Reuters
