BANGKOK. — Leicester City’s inexorable climb up the English Premier League soccer table has left many pundits scratching their heads wondering what the key to their success is.

But Thai monk Phra Prommangkalachan knows at least one of those secrets: good karma.

For the last three years, he and some half a dozen fellow Buddhist monks have been making regular trips to the Thai-owned club to bless the pitch and hand out lucky talismans to players.

“I hang some amulets on their necks and I gave them these fabric talismans,” he said at a temple in Bangkok, the banners emblazoned with sacred patterns and Leicester’s club crest at their centre.

“I’m not sure if they understood what I explained to them about it, but they knew that it would bring them luck,” he added. — AFP.
