One of the highlights of Prasat Nakhon Luang is praying to the ancient Ganesha, who is more than 300 years old and sits on a throne of skulls. He is believed to help with work, finances, studies, and eliminating obstacles. The way to pray is as follows: Bring 2 banknotes to pray, rub Ganesha's feet to increase financial luck. Ring the bell, and after praying, take 1 banknote back for good fortune. If you can whisper to a mouse to pray, that would be great. (You are not allowed to bring incense and candles upstairs. We recommend praying from below, and the way up can be steep.) Traveling from Bangkok to Prasat Nakhon Luang is not far, taking only 1-1.5 hours.
